Arnold Schwarzenegger will file a revised response to Maria Shriver’s divorce petition on Monday, after his lawyer Bob Kaufman denied spousal support to Maria earlier.

Arnold had refused to pay Maria her attorney’s fees, audaciously turning a blind eye to the California law, according to which, he and Maria are entitled to 50/50 spilt of their $400 million fortune.

Arnold’s denial came harsher on Maria, as the 25-year marriage ended because of the misdeeds of Arnold. The marriage was called off when Maria came to know that Arnold fathered a baby with his household staff and for a decade she thought the father was the woman's husband at the time.

Arnold had then reportedly said: After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago. I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.

A TMZ report says that, according to sources, Arnold never read the divorce document before signing it and at that time he was bothered about Christopher’s accident so he relied on his lawyer to take care of it. In the revised response, Maria is likely to get spousal support.
