Earlier this year Mena Suvari filed for divorce from her husband of years 18-months, Simone Sestito.

You'd think a short marriage like that would be simple to settle, BUT this is a Hollywood divorce! And, of course, he wants her $$Money$$!

Why does he deserve the ca$h??

Official court documents reveal that American Pie actress' ex is a failed business man. He admits that since his meal ticket Mena left, he has had to resort to paying his bills with credit and loans from mommy and daddy. (We've all been there!)

Sestito claimsguest roles on shows like on American Horror Story eared Mena $750,000 last year.

SO, he thinks asking for $17,151/month in spousal support and $10k for attorney fees is hardly a big deal.

If you ask us, he needs to keep his paws off her hard earned money!

He got to be married to Mema for over a year, isn't that pay enough?? LOL.
