The Emotional News: Steve Burton Drops! Heartbreaking News GH Fans😭It Will Leave You in Tears
General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal that Steve Burton, who plays Jason Morgan, has faced major trouble recently, thanks to his ex-wife, Sheree Gustin. Steve had to rush to court due to disagreements with Sheree on several points regarding their divorce and shared custody agreement.
Burton is a well-known name in the soap opera world. He first stepped into the shoes of Jason Morgan, formerly Quartermaine, on General Hospital in 1991—a character he has portrayed intermittently over the years. His impressive résumé also includes roles such as Harris Michaels on Days of Our Lives and Dylan McAvoy on The Young and the Restless.
On the personal front, Burton tied the knot with Sheree Gustin in 1999, and the couple welcomed three children together. However, by 2022, Steve revealed that he and Sheree had parted ways, with their divorce finalized the following year.
Recent reports from InTouch Weekly indicate that court documents show Steve hurried to file for divorce last November, alleging that Sheree violated their divorce agreement. The settlement, reached in December 2023, confirmed that they would share joint legal and physical custody of their children. Steve also committed to paying $112,500 monthly in child support at that time.
The funds were split among their three children. Their teenage son received $2,500, while their younger daughter got $10,000. Now that their son is an adult, Steve is only obligated to provide support for his daughter. Additionally, Steve has committed to paying Sheree $50,000 each month, even though she waived her right to spousal support.
However, in a motion filed in November 2024, Steve alleged that Sheree was preventing him from spending time with their daughter, Brooklyn, contrary to their earlier agreement. He also mentioned that Sheree had shown interest in relocating from California to Tennessee back in 2023.
The family had previously lived in the Nashville area, and Steve even owned a steakhouse there. Assuming the move was permanent, Steve terminated his lease on his California home, intending to relocate as well. He renovated his Tennessee residence and asked a tenant to vacate.
Steve revealed, “As a result, I forfeited the rental income I used to earn from my Tennessee property. I also resigned from my position at Days of Our Lives and found a new job to fit my living situation.” But then, Sheree reversed course and decided to move back to California.
Steve remarked, “Had it not been for Sheree’s choice to move, I would never have turned my life upside down by coming to Tennessee.”
Furthermore, he expressed that the consequences of her move have affected his relationship with their daughter. Steve revealed, “Sheree has really complicated my ability to spend time with Brooklyn and take her to Tennessee for some meaningful moments together. She’s even insisted that I give her advanced notice and seek her permission before I can enjoy my time with Brooklyn.”
Reportedly, Sheree also prevented Brooklyn from traveling to Tennessee, which forced Steve to make trips to California to see her. Steve expressed, “While I frequently travel to California for work, I no longer have a residence there since I terminated my lease when I relocated to Tennessee.”
It was said that Steve attempted to establish a visitation schedule after being rehired by General Hospital. In response, Sheree described his claims as disingenuous, emphasizing that Steve’s job is based in California, not Tennessee. She also pointed out that Brooklyn’s travel issues stem from her missing school and accused Steve of making plans with Brooklyn without prior discussion with her.
