Amber Heard, who filed for divorce from husband Johnny Depp last week, has laid out her financial situation in court papers that illustrate why she wants Depp, whom she married in February 2015, to give her $50,000 in spousal support.
In the papers, Heard claims to have $43,700 in total monthly expenses. Of that, the biggest chunks are for two line items: $10,000 for rent and $10,000 for entertainment, gifts and vacation.
Heard also claims another $10,000 in miscellaneous expenses, including grooming, pet supplies, and expenses for public relations, agent and attorney.
Heard claims an average monthly income of $10,000, after business expenses, though she notes that, as an actress, her income fluctuates.
Year-to-date, the papers claim, Heard has collected $26,000 in revenues — but she says she has paid out more than $55,000 in expenses over the same period. Of those expenses, biggies include $11,500 in salaries for other employees and $14,250 for public relations.
Days after filing for divorce from Depp, Heard obtained a temporary restraining order, claiming that Depp had been violent with her.
She also said that she’s seeking $50,000 in monthly spousal support. Depp has reportedly filed papers seeking to block that request.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's marriage came crashing down after just over a year, when Heard filed for divorce on May 23. Days later, she sought a restraining order, which a judge soon granted, using the following photos as evidence.
In a declaration provided to the court, Heard said that Depp "grabbed the cell phone, wound up his arm like a baseball pitcher and threw the cell phone at me striking my cheek and eye with great force."
Heard's declaration also stated, "Johnny continued screaming at me, pulling my hair, striking me and violently grabbing my face."
"During the entirety of our relationship, Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to me," Heard claimed.
Heard's declaration states that, during the alleged May 21 incident, Depp "picked up the magnum size bottle of wine he had been drinking out of, and he started swinging it around, smashing everything he could."
"Suddenly, he began obsessing about something that was untrue and his demeanor changed dramatically," Heard said of the events of May 21. "He became extremely angry."
Heard claims that Depp showed up at their home at approximately 7:15 p.m. on May 21 "inebriated and high."
“Amber is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse,” a memorandum of points and authorities filed by Depp’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, read on Friday.
