Tori Spelling bid for full custody of their five kids in divorce filing as he demands joint custody

Dean McDermott responded to Tori Spelling's divorce filing by submitting his own legal documents on Monday.
The 57-year-old actor opposed his estranged wife's bid for sole custody of their children and instead requested joint physical and legal custody, according to court papers obtained by Page Six.
The former couple share five children together: Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, seven.
Dean also sought spousal support for himself while petitioning the court to end Tori's spousal support, mirroring her initial request.
Both sides are also asking the other party to cover their respective attorneys' fees.
Dean's court filing comes a few weeks after Tori revealed the reasons behind her decision to prolong their marriage.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 50 - who admitted her heart has not been broken since 'first love' Brian Austin Green - explained that preconceived notions about her character hindered her ability to move forward before ultimately filing for divorce in March after 18 years of marriage.
One of my biggest fears, and this perhaps did make me stay longer, is I feel like in our world it’s difficult to be with a man and have him not feel emasculated,' the star told Shannen Doherty during the latest episode of her misSpelling podcast.
Not by our doing, but by who we are and have been labeled by society,' she continued. 'We’re not just women who make money, we’re women that have power, we’re women that have fame, I don’t know any different. I feel guilty.
Tori then shared her concerns about meeting a future partner, expressing uncertainty and vulnerability.
Like, how am I ever gonna be with a man and he doesn’t feel like less than me just because of my status?' she told Shannen.
Despite staying in her marriage past its expiration point, Tori said she is on friendly terms with Dean and his new girlfriend Lily Calo.
The actress said she now enjoys family meals with the new love birds.
I like Lily a lot. It's not bad. It's just you know, it's different. Right?' the star said of the gatherings on a recent episode of her podcast misSPELLING.
We're co-parenting very well right now,' she added.
Tori also recounted the explosive fight between her and Dean that led to their split, during which the actress smashed a baked potato on the floor.
The actress said she and Dean started arguing after returning home from a day on set in June 2023.
Dean allegedly made a dig at her that 'he knew would really be hurtful to hear.
The actress didn't disclose Dean's exact words, but recalled that his remark deeply affected her - to the extent that she angrily smashed a loaded baked potato she had been preparing onto the kitchen floor.
This guttural scream came out of me,' Tori recalled. 'It wasn't even like a sexy scream, like running in a horror film. It was beast-like. It wasn't pretty at all

Tori is pathetic. She just showed her daughters what a mom isn't supposed to be which is weak.

Great job at being a poor role model for those insufferable spawn of Dean. Two cheaters creating a bunch of unstable children is just what the world needed. I see why your dad didn't trust you enough to leave you his fortune
