Mike Shouhed Wife: 'Shahs Of Sunset' Divorce Response, Jessica Parido Update [VIDEO]
Mike Shouhed has filed his response to Jessica Parido's divorce documents.
Following Parido's Nov. 2015 filing, which "blindsided" the Shahs Of Sunset star, Shouhed hired a lawyer and filed documents of his own, in which he requested Parido be denied spousal support.
"[Shouhed] asks the court to deny spousal support to his estranged wife," PEOPLE Magazine reported weeks ago, citing court documents. "Aside from that request, Shouhed, 37, is not opposing anything else in her divorce filing, and asks that the court grant a divorce for irreconcilable differences, 'determine rights to community property,' and confirm ownership over separate property."
While Parido did reportedly request spousal support from Shouhed when she filed for divorce, she then told E! News, via the Daily Mail, that she didn't want anything from him.
'I want to clear the rumor that I am asking Mike for spousal support. I am not asking him for anything," Parido alleged just days after her filing. "When I left Mike three months ago, I left with my clothes on my back and two small duffel bags. I haven’t gone back for one thing. I don’t want anything from him. I don’t want anything from him at all. I want to move on with my life. I don’t want a penny from him. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I want to move on with my life and I want to give all my time, energy and love that I gave to him to someone that deserves it, and it’s clearly not Mike."
After Parido's filing made headlines, Shouhed revealed his shock during an interview with PEOPLE Magazine.
"I didn't even know the divorce was happening until I saw it posted online," he explained. "That was how I found out she was divorcing me. I was blindsided."
Luckily, he's in a better place today.
"I'm looking for closure and each day is getting a little easier for me to heal," he said. "Through therapy, yoga and meditation, self awareness and through realization I have come to a point now in my life where I realize what it takes to be a good partner and everyday I strive to become better. I am on that journey where one day I will be 100 percent again and I am looking forward to that."
