John Schneider is changing his tune in his long-running divorce battle.
The “Dukes of Hazzard” star now admits he owes his ex-wife, Elvira Schneider, about $3.7 million in back spousal support, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Schneider explained that he had been confused because two divorces were filed, one in California and one in Louisiana. He said he didn’t initially believe the California support order was valid, but now understands that he owes the money.
Still, the actor isn’t asking for the debt to be forgiven. Instead, he is fighting to keep Elvira from collecting half of his Social Security benefits until it’s paid off.
In his filing, Schneider said he is not “financially capable of satisfying the accumulated arrearages,” adding that losing half his Social Security benefits would “substantially affect the resources available” for him to cover his monthly bills.
His finances have drawn attention for years. Celebrity Net Worth estimates Schneider’s net worth at about $200,000, a fraction of the amount he now acknowledges owing.
The couple split in 2014 after 21 years of marriage. In 2019, Schneider was ordered to pay Elvira $25,000 a month in support, and she has been trying to collect ever since.
Earlier this year, TMZ reported that Elvira claimed she was owed millions, alleging Schneider owed more than $2.3 million in back support, plus around $1 million in interest. Schneider had previously disputed the amount, but his latest filing suggests he has now accepted the total.
Schneider rose to fame playing Bo Duke on “The Dukes of Hazzard,” which ran on CBS from 1979 to 1985 and made him a household name alongside co-star Tom Wopat. He later played Jonathan Kent, Clark Kent’s adoptive father, on “Smallville,” and starred in Tyler Perry’s “The Haves and the Have Nots.” He has also had a career in country music.
It’s unclear when the court will rule on his request regarding his Social Security benefits.
