Amidst a recently surfaced sex scandal and a very high profile divorce, Stephen Collins' net worth is put to the test: why is the "7th Heaven" actor refusing to pay spousal support to estranged wife Faye Grant?
By the first days of October, the most horrible of news had hit the man who played the pastor dad in family series "7th Heaven": a tape was leaked where he confessed he'd sexually molested three girls in the past. While contracts started to disappear soon after the news - surely affecting Stephen Collins' net worth -, his divorce to actress Faye Grant also made everyone wonder what was going on in the seemingly perfect family.
Collins hasn't been doing a lot of press since the child molestation scandal first came out earlier in the fall, but his divorce proceedings - which have already gone on for a year - keep going on. According to People Magazine, the latest bit of news that have gotten Stephen Collins' net worth back in the radar has been the fact that he's publicly denounced his wife as undeserving of spousal support.
In the latest news of the famous family's scandal, Stephen Collins' net worth has been questioned due to the fact that he's told a judge in court that he shouldn't have to pay spousal support for his former wife Faye Grant, accusing her of leaking the tape where he supposedly confesses to child abuse, according to The Daily Mail.
By Collins' logic, Grant shouldn't receive any more spousal support (she's been getting $13,000 a month) due to the fact that he's been unable to find a job since the tape first came out last October.
However, as soon as news outlets like TMZ leaked the tape, Faye Grant went on record to the press saying she hadn't been the one responsible for making the audio public, saying that was confidential court evidence.
Currently, Stephen Collins' net worth stands at about $14 million according to Celebrity Net Worth - certainly enough to be able to pay spousal support to estranged wife for quite a while.
