Tyrese Gibson will pay $10K every month in child support

Tyrese Gibson was ordered to pay $10,690 a month in child support during a proceeding Tuesday. It was held before Superior Court Judge Kevin M. Farmer in Fulton County, Georgia.

According to a TMZ article, Gibson is officially single after the judge granted his ex-wife, Samantha Lee Gibson’s, divorce petition.

Also, Tyrese and Samantha are parents to a three-year-old girl, Soraya.

Samantha had initially asked for $209,000 in child support when she first filed for divorce in September 2020.

However, the judge reduced it by $46,000 on the grounds that Tyrese has been paying for Samantha’s car for two years. Therefore, Tyrese now owes her a lump sum of $169,000.

Additionally, Tyrese requested joint physical and legal custody of Soraya during Monday’s first hearing.

The 43-year-old actor said he didn’t want to pay $20,000 a month in child support, calling it “unreasonably high.” He also asked to have the last word on Soraya’s non-medical emergencies.

Tyrese has further claimed that Samantha is flamboyant. The star’s attorney revealed Samantha’s cosmetic expenses two years ago, which were approximately $1,740.

They suggested that the child support money would actually pay for Samantha’s lifestyle.

Tyrese’s lawyer, Tanya Mitchell Graham, said: “She asked for a large sum of money for child support, but she is spending a lot of money on cosmetics.” Is she asking for money for the child or asking for money for herself?

Tyrese Gibson and Samantha Lee Gibson’s relationship

However, in December 2020, the couple announced that they would be divorcing.

Regardless, the former couple separately mentioned that they “remain the best of friends and strong co-parents.”

Meanwhile, the judge said: ‘This is not a punishment for you. Put that money where it belongs, on the child! while declaring the amount of alimony.

He also warned them not to speak ill in front of their daughter, whom they welcomed in October 2018.
