Singers Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams, who announced their divorce in earlier this year, have not reached any settlement yet.
Court documents state that the former couple cannot decide what to do with their eight pets and how to handle their money, reports aceshowbiz.com.
According to the documents, Moore apparently earns only less than a quarter of Adams' monthly earning, which is $151,000.
Moore shared in the papers that Adams paid half of their mortgage, property taxes and insurance on their home here, but her earnings cannot cover all the expenses.
"I feel as if I have no alternative," Moore wrote in her petition.
She also requested help in taking care of the couple's dogs and cats. She claimed Adams offered to take two of the cats but did not.
