Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose tied the knot in October.

In May, the Hannah Montana alum filed for divorce from his now-estranged wife, 36, after they had been married for only seven months.

"His instincts have been correct all along," the source added of the blonde beauty, who allegedly racked up thousands of dollars in charges on Billy Ray’s card. "He believes she only married him for financial and other reasons. He's convinced that she didn't marry him for love."

As OK! previously reported, following the divorce filing on June 14, Firerose filed a counter complaint, which accused Billy Ray of "extreme" domestic abuse.

The songstress claimed she “walked on eggshells” around her former lover, as he placed her “into an emotional and psychological prison.”

“When Wife would attempt to voice certain concerns, Husband would often call her a ‘selfish f------ b----’ and continually alleged that she was using him,” the legal paperwork read. “With Wife’s major surgery date looming, she was reasonably afraid to leave or seek any type of help because she feared that Husband would interfere with her surgery or her lengthy recovery at home.”

The document noted how Billy Ray was apparently "prepared" to finance her preventative mastectomy, however, she was allegedly forced out of their marital home before the surgery.

“Wife relied on Husband’s promises to pay for her surgery, and Husband has now repudiated that promise,” the filing continued. “On the day Wife was set to get her surgery, she was instead searching for a place to live and under a significant amount of emotional distress.”

The father of Miley Cyrus’ legal team then fought back against Firerose’s claims.

“The allegations that Ms. Hodges states in her answer and counter-complaint are especially confusing and suspicious in its veracity since she begged Mr. Cyrus to forgive her and take her back only 2 days after he filed his pleadings to dissolve his marriage,” the papers added. “When Mr. Cyrus returned to his home 2 days after Ms. Hodges was required, by court order, to vacate his residence of over 25 years and allowed him to return, he discovered a handwritten note from Ms. Hodges professing her love and need to be with Mr. Cyrus.”

People reported on the source's claims.
