In court documents obtained by TMZ, Opal says she requires a psychologist to help her get through this difficult period.

Opal is requesting spousal support to cover her expenses including the psychologist and life coach which she says costs $4,500 a month.
The mother-of-two claims Ron has plenty of money to pay support, and says he made over $1.6 million in 2018 and more than $1.1 million in 2019. She acknowledges that his income has been affected in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ron was allegedly paying the couple’s two adult children $5,000 a month to help them pursue their careers but Opal claims the Sons of Anarchy star stopped paying when he filed for divorce in November 2019.
Opal is also requesting $100,000 to cover her legal fees.
In October Ron filed legal documents requesting a bifurcation of his divorce, which would grant him single status and allow him to work out the other parts of the divorce, like spousal support and division of assets at a later date.
In legal docs obtained by TMZ, Ron said: ‘I believe terminating the marriage as soon as legally possible would be in our best interests in that it would reduce the emotional strain and pressure I have personally observed in both [Opal Stone Perlman] and myself, and it would allow me to move forward with my life.’
