Mandy Moore's divorce just got hairier.

The 31-year-old actress and singer is demanding soon-to-be-ex-husband and fellow musician Ryan Adams, 41, pay her spousal support, attorney and accountant fees and also foot the bills to help take care at least four of their eight pets, according to court documents obtained by E! News. He has not commented.

They both filed for divorce on Jan. 23 after almost six years years of marriage. At the time, they said in a joint statement it was a "respectful, amicable parting of ways."

Moore wants Adams to pay $36,794 in monthly spousal support, $100,000 in attorney fees and costs and $50,000 to her accountant and also "contribute to the care of and expenses related to the parties' eight pets by assuming responsibility for at least four of them." They have two dogs and six cats.

"Although I love our pets, it is overwhelming for me to take care of all eight of them all the time," Moore says in her filing.

In the documents, she states she works 40 hours a week as an actress and singer and makes more than $31,000 a month, which includes royalty payments from her acting and music work. She also lists more than $335,000 in assets.

Moore estimates Adams makes $151,300 a month. He has not commented.

The actress and singer also states in her filing she pays more than $37,000 a month in expenses, which includes her mortgage, plus more than $11,000 for clothes, more than $3,000 for a housekeeper and more than $2,600 for pet walking, food, supplies and other pet care needs.

Moore says Adams has not helped take care of or pay for their eight cats and dogs since the couple's January split and that she is "unable to carry the expenses of their home, their eight pets and this litigation without Ryan's financial assistance."
