Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone's wife Jennifer Flavin filed for a divorce in August, shortly after the couple celebrated their 25th anniversary. Sylvester Stallone's lawyers responded to the accusations made by his wife, Jennifer Flavin, saying he was never involved in any actions leading to the squandering of marital wealth owned by the couple.

Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin's marriage woes were exposed soon after the couple celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this year. Flavin filed for a divorce on August 19 in Palm Beach County, Florida, which came as a shock to the fans. The Rocky star denied the accusations made by his wife, Flavin, of hiding and wasting marital assets, leading to an economic impact on their marital funds.

Claim to "exclusive use" of the Palm Beach Mansion.

Reportedly, both Stallone and Flavin have claimed "exclusive use" of their water front property, the Palm Beach Mansion, which Stallone bought for $35 million in December 2020. Jeffrey Fisher, who is Stallone’s attorney, wrote in the court papers filed on Monday responding to the allegations made by Flavin, wherein he mentioned that Stallone has not been engaged in any actions which establish intentional dissipation, depletion, and/or waste of marital assets. The declaration came in response to the claims made by Flavin, which alleged that as Stallone had been wasting their combined wealth since the split was announced, she should receive a larger portion of their divorce settlement.


In the declaration, it was agreed that Stallone and Flavin’s marriage was "irretrievably broken." Stallone did not object to his wife’s desire to reinstate her maiden name. He also asked that she look after her own legal bills.
