Shekinah Garner has asked a judge to order Sarper Guven to pay her spousal support, court documents obtained by TMZ confirmed on Nov. 8, 2026. The estranged couple from 90 Day: The Last Resort season 3 are now fighting over money, and her numbers are big.

She wants $6,189 a month from the Turkish comedian, plus $35,000 to cover her attorney’s fees and costs. She claims she put her own business on the back burner to build his career. As of Nov. 8, 2026, no judge has ruled on the request, and Sarper has not responded publicly.

What Shekinah Is Asking the Judge For

According to the filing, Shekinah wants the court to order Sarper to pay $6,189 every month in spousal support. She also wants him to pick up $35,000 in attorney’s fees and costs, so she is not footing the bill for the divorce on her own.

None of this came out of nowhere. Shekinah Garner filed for divorce on Sept. 28, citing irreconcilable differences, and asked for spousal support in that first petition. The filing lists their wedding date as Nov. 11, 2024, and their separation as Sept. 22, 2026, the same day she announced the split. Their property and debts still have to be divided.

What Shekinah Says His Comedy Business Earned

This is where it gets juicy. Shekinah claims their joint federal tax return shows Sarper’s comedy business grossed more than $280,000, with $180,000 of that as net profit. Her own business, a facial studio, reported a net loss of $51,000 on the same return, according to her filing.

Do the math and her request comes to $74,268 a year. That is about 41 percent of the $180,000 profit she says his comedy made, and the man is not slowing down. Ticket listings show his stand-up dates running from Nov. 12 at the Ontario Improv in Southern California all the way into March 2027, every one of them in the U.S.

She Says She Put Her Studio on Hold for Him

Her case rests on sacrifice. Shekinah says that for about two years before Sarper moved to the U.S., she flew to Turkey roughly every two months and stayed around three weeks at a time. She says she closed her facial studio while she was gone, and that the trips cost her dearly.

Meanwhile, his star kept rising. By September, he was billing himself as a “Single Comedian” on tour. When she filed, she said, “Filing for divorce was not a decision I made lightly or without heartbreak, but I’ve reached a point of no return.”

Will Sarper Guven Have to Pay Shekinah Spousal Support?

Not yet, and maybe not at this number. Everything in the filing is her claim, not a finding, and a judge still has to weigh it. No hearing date has been reported, the court has not been named, and Sarper has not filed a public response that we could find.

The timing is wild. Late last month, Sarper reportedly said fans in the U.S. back him far more than Turks and that he probably should not move back to Turkey. And only weeks ago, Shekinah Garner said she still loves him. The pair sit on our list of 90 Day Fiance couples who split, and this filing shows the divorce is far from over.

Could Sarper push back on the numbers? My gut tells me he will not stay quiet for long. Don’t be surprised if this fight comes down to one question: whether the comedy money she cites keeps coming once the TV glow fades.

Shekinah Wants Her Share of the Laughs

Shekinah Garner says she paid for this comedy career in plane tickets and lost business, and now she wants a cut of what it earns. If the judge buys her story, Sarper’s next punchline could cost him $6,189 a month.

Then again, a request is not a ruling, and Sarper has not had his say yet. Is she owed for the years she put in, or is she asking too much? Tell us on our Facebook page.
