Nicolas Cage's estranged wife asking for spousal support

Nicolas Cage's estranged wife is asking for spousal support - despite the fact they were only married for four days.
The 'National Treasure' star tied the knot with Erika Koike - who he had been dating for nearly a year - in Las Vegas last month but the Hollywood actor asked for an annulment just four days after, claiming he was drunk at the time and "lacked understanding of his actions in marrying [Koike] to the extent that he was incapable of agreeing to the marriage".
a man and a woman posing for a picture: Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in late March 2019, starting with these unexpected nuptials... According to TMZ, Nicolas Cage applied for a marriage license for himself and girlfriend Erika Koike -- who's been described as either a makeup artist or a waitress by various media outlets -- in Las Vegas, where he lives, on March 23. Three days later, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the couple, who were first seen together in June 2016, actually tied the knot at Weddings at Bellagio in Las Vegas the same day they obtained their marriage license, though the actor has yet to confirm that claim. Then on March 27, DailyMail.com published video of the "Leaving Las Vegas" star appearing agitated while pacing and interacting with employees at the Clark County Court House Marriage License Bureau in downtown Las Vegas on the 23rd. "She has a drug dealer as a boyfriend," he says of his bride-to-be and an ex. He then tells her of their impending nuptials, "I'm not doing it." Erika fires back, "I never asked you to." A witness told the webloid that Nic seemed "very out of it" and "most likely drunk." At one point, he reportedly said, "She's going to take all of my money." After causing a scene, the duo were taken into a private room to complete their paperwork. The Oscar winner has been married three times before.

However, whilst Erika is happy to end the couple's short-lived marriage, she wants him to pay spousal support to her as she claims she has lost job opportunities during their year-long relationship and she also alleges that her reputation has been damaged by the allegations he has made. She is also asking for the actor to pay her legal fees, TMZ reports.
Nicolas previously stated he was "too drunk" to get married.
His lawyers stated: "Prior to obtaining a marriage license and participating in a marriage ceremony, [Cage] and [Koike] were both drinking to the point of intoxication. As a result of his intoxication, when [Koike] suggested to [Cage] that they should marry, [Cage] reacted on impulse and without the ability to understand the full impact of his actions."
The court documents also claim that Koike didn't "disclose to [Cage] the full nature and extent of her relationship with another person and didn't inform him of her criminal history including additional active criminal proceedings". It is believed that she is due in court in Las Vegas in June over a DUI charge, which she has pled not guilty to.
