"Melissa has not been treating Tammy or the children as if they are a wife and children, financially and otherwise," Michaels' lawyer, Steven Knowles, tells TMZ.com. Michaels, 35, has also filed for full custody of the twins, son Miller Steven and daughter Johnnie Rose.

Knowles claims that Etheridge, 49, has not given her a penny since she filed for dissolution of her domestic partnership last week.
