New court filings have shed light on Todd Bridges’ finances, revealing that the former child star reported earning just $700 per month in the year leading up to his split from wife Bettijo Hirschi.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, the income details surfaced during a separate legal battle involving Hirschi and her first husband, Heath Hirschi. In those proceedings, Bettijo disclosed that Todd Bridges, now 60, was semi-retired and bringing in only a small, inconsistent income in 2024.
“My husband is semi-retired, so he doesn’t have a very stable income,” Bettijo told the judge during an October 16, 2025 hearing, per the filings.
When asked directly whether Bridges had any income at all, she clarified: “He makes, like, $700 or something a month, around there, that we rely on.”
The court documents also state that Hirschi covered the bulk of the household expenses, including the mortgage on the home they shared. Bridges, she said, contributed when possible through occasional contract work.
“He does help with food when he gets extra payments, cause he does, like, contract work,” she added.
Bridges became part of the legal dispute after Heath sought to reduce or eliminate the spousal support he was paying Bettijo following her remarriage.
Heath and Bettijo finalized their divorce in 2021 after separating in 2020, and he was initially ordered to pay $2,700 per month in spousal support through December 2031.
After Bettijo married Bridges in September 2022, Heath argued that his payments should be terminated, citing her marriage to what he described as a “well-known Hollywood actor.”
He also claimed that Bettijo had established herself as a successful designer and lifestyle blogger, with additional income streams following her remarriage.
Heath told the court that he experienced severe financial hardship after the COVID-19 recession, at times living out of his car or office to meet his support obligations.
He argued that he was struggling financially while Bettijo lived in a home valued at approximately $880,000 with Bridges.
In December 2025, the court ruled that Heath would pay $1,206 per month in child support, along with $43,401.96 in past support. The former couple was awarded joint legal decision-making authority over their two minor children, with Bettijo designated as the primary residential parent.
Just one month later, Bridges announced that he and Bettijo were separating after three years of marriage. “After much prayer and reflection, my spouse and I have made the difficult decision to separate,” Bridges said in a statement on January 14.
He added that the decision came “with a heavy heart,” while asking for privacy as they moved forward.
