Billionaire David Geffen's refusing to reveal how wealthy he truly is in an attempt to minimize his spousal support payments to his estranged husband, David Andrew Armstrong (AKA Donovan Michaels) -- at least that's what Armstrong says is going on.

According to new legal documents obtained by TMZ, Armstrong is accusing Geffen of refusing to submit his financial documents to the court because he thinks he can skirt around California’s financial disclosure laws, all "in an effort to achieve aggressive spousal support limitations."

Armstrong says it's completely unfair, likening the situation to "a case of David and Goliath" because the financial gap between him and Geffen is so wide. He further claims he is being "unfairly outspent" and that his ex "is prepared to win by any means necessary."
