Lisa Marie Presley's husband has asked for $40,000 a month in spousal support in their bitter divorce battle, legal documents have revealed.
Musician Michael Lockwood has also requested Lisa Marie pay $100,000 towards his legal fees.
Lockwood claims he's living on a 'below poverty line' income since the couple separated in June last year and Presley has refused to support him.
The document, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, says Presley, 48, supported her husband, 56, and their two children for ten years since they were married in 2006.
He was paid a salary to act as her musical director.
'Petitioner worked with or for no one else because that was what Petitioner demanded,' the document filed at LA Superior Court states.
The document added: 'Petitioner (Lisa Marie) continues to live an extremely affluent and comfortable lifestyle because she inherited tens of millions of dollars from her famous father, and she may have earned additional income during marriage.'
The legal paperwork also states that Lockwood did NOT sign a pre-nuptial agreement in 2005, the year before they were married, when Presley asked him to.
But it states Lockwood was eventually forced to sign a 'post-nuptial agreement' in 2007 to 'pacify' Presley who had yelled at him.
Presley split with Lockwood because he was 'abusive' and 'took advantage' of her vast wealth, DailyMail.com revealed last year.
She is demanding full custody of their eight-year-old twin daughters and has requested that Lockwood only have 'monitored' visitation, because she fears he is is an 'unsafe father'.
Presley - the only daughter of Elvis Presley - filed for divorce on June 24 at LA Superior Court citing 'irreconcilable differences'.
The sole heir of Rock and Roll icon Elvis' estate Presley has an estimated net worth of $300 million.
Mother-of-four Presley has daughter Riley, 27, and son Benjamin, 23, with her ex-husband Danny Keough, and twin daughters Finley and Harper with Lockwood.
The couple had lived in Tennessee until when they both moved to Los Angeles earlier in 2016.
But it's believed they were living separately when Presley filed for divorce.
Presley - who has been married four times - wed musical director Lockwood in a lavish $340,000 Japanese ceremony in Kyoto, Japan in 2006.
Her first husband Danny Keogh, was best man at the ceremony.
Presley was previously married to pop icon Michael Jackson for two years in 1994 and briefly to movie star Nicolas Cage in 2002 before wedding Lockwood.
She once admitted the secret behind her fourth marriage was Lockwood's hands on approach.
Speaking previously, she said: 'He takes care of everything. He picks the musicians. He gets them ready to tour.
'That's how we met, so we kind of knew each other that way and fell in love - you know, by just working together.
'I'm just amazed at how much he takes on and how much he deals with and handles.'
The 'Post-Nuptial Agreement' Lockwood signed was very 'advantageous' to Presley, the document states, because it waived his right to spousal support.
According to the documents Presley was worth $60 million in 2007 when the Post=Nuptial Agreement was signed.
But lawyers fro Lockwood say this was based on her summary and 'inadequate financial disclosures'.
Since the split Lockwood, who claims his monthly expenses were $60,000 a month during the marriage, claims he has had to sell personal property and sleep on a friend's couch to avoid being a homeless person.
In his personal declaration Lockwood says Presley received $100,000 a month in income when they were first married.
He says in June last year Presley and their two children Harper and Finley left the family home in Nashville, Tennessee to move to Los Angeles.
He stayed behind to finish packing their belongings and had intended to continue to live with Presley and their daughters in LA.
But he says that when he arrived in LA he learned Presley didn't want him to live with them and then he read on the internet that she had filed for divorce.
He added that he also discovered that the Department of Children's and Family Services were conducting an investigation regarding Harper and Finley.
Lockwood says he has had to sell personal property to make ends meet including some guitars he had in storage for $4,500 and a vintage car he owned for $23,000.
In comparison he claims he has heard that Presley is spending $100,000 a month on her living arrangements.
Lockwood states in his declaration that the marriage hit a rocky patch six months before Presley filed for divorce.
He said they began arguing because, among other things, his wife told him she was upset that he had incurred charges using an American Express card which she would have to pay the balance on.
Lockwood says he was forced to use the AmEx card to 'live a lifestyle consistent with Petitioner's (Presley) financial station in life.'
He said he was unable to buy birthday and Christmas presents for her and their daughters that were 'appropriate' given Parsley's wealth.
Lockwood says that in the spring of 2016 Presley wanted him to sign a document transferring his property, including computers and musical equipment, to her over the credit card debt.
He agreed to 'pacify' her but continued to accrue debt on other credit cards to pay for living expenses.
Lockwood says that when he followed Presley and his daughters to LA in June 2016 his wife wouldn't let him live with them at Presley's mother's home in Beverly Hills.
'I had no money, no place to live, no musical equipment or computers which would allow me to work and earn money,' he stated.
After selling some personal items to make ends meet Lockwood claims he borrowed $10,000 from his parents.
A lease car he was driving which Presley had been paying for also had to be returned because the payments stopped.
In his declaration Lockwood asks the court not to enforce the 'Post-Nuptial Agreement' he signed because it gave his wife 'unfair advantage' in that she was wealthy when she had him sign it.
He said: 'I relied on her to support me for many years, I gave up my career and lost my professional connections because of her insistence that I be available to her and not work with other people, I am now in my mid-50s with no income and no assets, and I received nothing for supposedly giving up the right to receive spousal support.'
