Since confirming the bust up of her marriage to Ryan Sweeting last week, Kaley Cuoco has worked hard to put on a happy face for the paps that have trailed her. Fans of The Big Bang Theory actress have seen her partying with friends and bonding with her brand new horse as Cuoco clearly tries to insinuate that life is just fine. Sadly, behind the scenes it looks like she could be steadying herself for one heck of a court battle with Sweeting.

Cuoco is worth a reported $53 million and sources close to the former couple are now saying that in spite of being worth an estimated $2 million himself, Sweeting will likely file for spousal support. The couple did sign a prenup but the tennis pro is said to be looking for loopholes that would clear the path for a hefty pay day. Of course Cuoco is ready to fight him every step of the way.

It sounds like this divorce could easily turn very messy and a potential court battle like this could actually last longer than the marriage itself did. Gunning for Cuoco's cash sounds like a pretty big revenge move on Sweeting's part, doesn't it? Do you think that being married to her was so rough that he actually believes he deserves a windfall?

Currently Booming: Gwen Stefani's Divorce From Gavin Rossdale is Getting Ugly

When Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale first announced their split back in August it sounded like things were about as amicable as it gets. The couple had been the subject of divorce rumors for years but always seemed to get through the waves of speculation together, at least until recently. As it turns out, not only have they opted for divorce, but Rossdale might just be looking for a nice payday to offset all of the years that he put his career on hold in favor of playing Mr. Mom to the couple's three kids.

According to a source for Radar Online, “Gavin is now demanding more than half of her fortune, He has complained that while Gwen was launching her successful clothing line, continuing her music career, and expanding her brand by appearing as a judge on The Voice, he stayed home with their sons. Gavin is even threatening to go to trial if he isn’t given a chunk of Gwen’s fortune. And he will ask for child and spousal support as well. Gwen is furious because at the outset of the divorce, Gavin said he wouldn’t go after her money. She is just kicking herself for not getting a prenup.”

As it turns out, Stefani is worth an estimated $120 million (to Rossdale's $20 million) and without a prenup, under California marital law Rossdale could clean house with 50% of her earnings during their marriage. Sources claim that Stefani would fight to prevent that because she intends to keep every hard earned penny that she can. While it looked like Rossdale's career has stalled it's really hard to say how much he might have earned if he hadn't stayed with the kids so that Stefani could continue working.

Are you surprised to hear that things are getting messy between these two?
