The couple, who have three adult children, were married for 21 years before they split in 2014.

Their divorce remains unsettled and according to TMZ Castle is seeking the monthly sum as a temporary measure while their case makes it's way through the courts.

Elvira states in her legal documents that she was a stay at home mother throughout the couple's marriage, and no longer has the skills necessary to compete in the modern workforce.

The papers add that with homes in both California and Louisiana, the couple lives 'an affluent lifestyle throughout the entirety of their marriage.'

TMZ reports that she further states that her estranged husband earns more than $83,000 a month.

Actress Elly, also known as Elvira Schneider, filed legal documents citing irreconcilable differences back in 2014 as well as requesting spousal support.

The couple married in 1993 and share three adult children together, Leah and Chasen from Elly's first marriage and their daughter Karis.

John, 55, rose to fame as the lovable Bo Duke in the 70s and 80s TV series alongside Tom Wopat, Catherine Bach, Denver Pyle and Sorrell Booke.

Since then, he has enjoyed a very successful acting career, starring in shows such as 90210, Desperate Housewives, Smallville and Hot In Cleveland.  

The Mount Kisco, New York, native can currently be seen in Tyler Perry soap opera The Haves And The Have Nots. 

John was previously married to former L.A news anchor and Miss America Tawny Little from 1983 to 1986.
