Jax Taylor wants his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, to pay him more than $17,000 a month in spousal support, claiming he’s broke.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the former Vanderpump Rules star is requesting $17,401 in monthly support, plus $250,000 in attorney fees and $10,000 for a forensic accountant.
Jax claims he’s unemployed and has lost career opportunities because Brittany allegedly portrayed him as an “abuser.” He specifically cited losing a role on Special Forces and a partnership with Carpe Deodorant.
However, his financial disclosures reportedly show he averaged $30,334 in monthly income over the past year and has approximately $464,671 in bank accounts. Jax also estimates his monthly expenses at $28,944.

Jax is also seeking to challenge Brittany’s authority to make final decisions about their son Cruz’s medical care. He alleges “newfound knowledge” of neglect and unreasonable delays concerning their son’s medical needs and school enrollment.
Those accusations have not been established in court.
Brittany filed for divorce in August 2024, and Jax has since requested that a judge declare him legally single while their remaining disputes are resolved.
A hearing on the latest requests is scheduled for Dec. 30.
