The reason behind their divorce has not been revealed. However, during the divorce proceedings, Afton demanded $600,000 in alimony per year. Though she was initially paid the required sum by Brendan, in 2013 he filed a case saying that he was not in the position to pay a monthly sum of $50,000 to his ex-wife. Afton's lawyer replied back that Brendan was not disclosing his wealth and hiding his property. However, we do not have more to say about the case.
