Shekinah Garner is seeking financial support as her marriage to Sarper Güven ends. The 90 Day Fiancé star wants a judge to order monthly spousal support. She is also requesting help with her legal costs.
Shekinah Garner demands spousal support from Sarper Güven
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Shekinah says she put her esthetician business on hold to support Sarper’s comedy career. Her filing details the sacrifices she says she made during their relationship.
Shekinah says she traveled to Turkey every two months and stayed for three weeks at a time. The trips continued for two years before Sarper received his U.S. visa. She claims she closed her facial studio during those visits.
She alleges that her absences negatively affected her business. Her company reportedly recorded a net loss of $51,000. She contrasts that figure with Sarper’s reported comedy earnings.
Their joint federal tax return reportedly showed that Sarper’s comedy business grossed more than $280,000 and generated approximately $180,000 in net profit. Shekinah cites these figures in support of her request.
She is seeking $6,189 per month in spousal support. She also wants Sarper to pay $35,000 in attorney fees and costs. No ruling on her requests has been reported.
The filing follows Shekinah’s September divorce petition, in which she cited irreconcilable differences. Their relationship previously played out on reality television.
Shekinah also addressed their split in a social media post. She claimed she remained faithful despite hearing that Sarper had used dating apps. She also referenced reports of him being seen with other women.
She previously shared that filing was emotionally difficult. “Filing for divorce was not a decision I made lightly or without heartbreak,” she said. She described reaching “a point of no return.”
Shekinah said she was choosing to “let go with love.” She also wanted to grieve what she believed they could have been as she began moving forward.
The financial request adds another development to their separation. Sarper’s reported comedy income is now part of the divorce dispute. The court will address Shekinah’s requests as the proceedings continue.
