The divorce between Steve Burton and his estranged wife Sheree (Gustin) Burton is now final.
According to court records obtained by usartical, the 53-year-old Days of Our Lives actor and Sheree agreed to terms of the divorce including joint legal and physical custody of their minor children.
Until April 2024, Burton must give Sheree $12,500 a month in child support for their two young children, Brooklyn and Jack. He will then be required to pay $10,000 a month.
The entitlement to spousal support was also renounced by both parties, “now or at any time in the future, regardless of the unforeseen circumstances that may exist in the future.” Sheree will, however, get $50,000 in support that is retroactive.
The soap opera star’s representative exclusively told PEOPLE in July 2022 that Steve has filed for divorce from his wife of more than 20 years. Following their encounter on the General Hospital set, the actor and Sheree got married in 1999.
Steve formally filed for divorce in Orange County Superior Court on July 7, 2022, according to court records that USARTICAL was able to access. The pair did not sign a prenuptial agreement.
Steve claimed irreconcilable differences as the reason for their official separation date of March 1 in the documents.
Additionally, the filing revealed that Steve was requesting joint physical and legal custody of Jack and Brooklyn. Additionally, the two are Makena’s (20) parents. Sheree was pregnant at the time of the petition, but Steve subsequently verified that the kid was not his.
In addition, Steve requested that Sheree and he be barred from receiving spousal support when the divorce is finalized.
Two months prior, Steve had startled fans by revealing that he and his fitness pro wife were no longer together. This was mentioned in the filing.
In an Instagram Story post from May, the former General Hospital star stated, “I wanted to clear something up. Sheree and I are separated.” “She recently announced that she is expecting her fourth child,” he said. I am not the parent of the child. Our three lovely children are still under our joint custody. For the moment, we would want privacy. Much love, Steve. Sheree revealed on Instagram in October that she was expecting her fifth child.
