Per People, Turner filed for divorce from Saliman on March 2, 2018, almost after 10 years of marriage.

As per the court documents obtained by The Blast, she cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for the split.

Turner requested spousal support and asked the court to terminate Saliman’s right to alimony. She also asked for the shared legal and physical custody of their two children. 

In response to her filing, Saliman asked for spousal support from her and asked the court to terminate her right to alimony.

The US Sun reports that the doctor was ordered to pay $4,571 as temporary spousal support to Turner and $3,183 as child support. The former couple were ordered to share the joint custody of their two children in November 2019.

During that time, he was also ordered to pay $3000 to Turner per month as spousal support until April 30, 2025, or until her remarriage. Saliman will also pay $4,000 a month until the children turn 19.
