Glory Johnson wants $20K a month in spousal support from Brittney Griner

lory Johnson is seeking temporary spousal support and attorney fees from Brittney Griner, who petitioned to annul their marriage.
Court documents filed June 29 in Maricopa County, Arizona, detail Johnson's request that Griner pay $20,000 per month in spousal support, plus a $10,000 advancement toward attorney fees for Johnson's counsel.
An evidentiary hearing is set for Aug. 17 at Maricopa County Central Building in Phoenix in regard to Griner's petition and Johnson's counter-petition.
The two WNBA players were married May 8, after being involved in a domestic violence incident at their Arizona home April 22. Then Johnson, who plays for the Tulsa Shock, announced June 4 that she would miss this WNBA season because she is pregnant.
The next day, Griner -- a member of the Phoenix Mercury -- filed papers requesting the marriage be annulled or dissolved, saying she was "pressured into marriage under duress by Johnson's threatening statements."
In that June 5 petition, Griner said she was unaware when the in vitro fertilization resulting in Johnson's pregnancy had taken place. She said the marriage was "based on fraud" and that the parties had acquired "minimal community property and incurred minimal community debts during their three-week marriage." Griner and Johnson were engaged in August 2014.
Griner's petition said neither party was in need of nor entitled to spousal support and that both should be responsible for their own attorney fees. Griner's petition also requested, however, that she be awarded reasonable attorney fees if she had to defend herself against "unreasonable" claims by Johnson.

Someone tell Glory that this is an annulment and not a divorce. If an annulment is granted it is as if the marriage never took place. No marriage = no spouse = no spousal support.
