Update: Tyrese Ordered To Pay Over $10,000 A Month In Child Support For 3-year-Old Daughter He Shares W/ Samantha Lee Gibson
Update: Tyrese was ordered by the judge to pay $10,690 a month in child support for three-year-old daughter Soraya. The ruling comes after the entertainer shot down his estranged wife’s request for $20,000 a month in child support, claiming the amount is “unreasonably high.”
While speaking on the designated child support amount, Superior Court Judge Kevin M. Farmer in Fulton County, Georgia, said,
“This is not a punishment for you. Put that money where it belongs, in the child!”
The judge also advised Tyrese and Samantha Lee Gibson not to speak badly about each other in front of their child.
According to reports, during the ruling, which took place on Tuesday (Aug. 30), Tyrese also became officially single as the judge granted the petition for divorce from Samantha Lee Gibson.
Original Story: Tyrese Gibson may have the funds to purchase his teenage daughter a Rolls Royce Ghost, but he apparently doesn’t have enough to pay spousal support.
The actor/singer appeared in court on Monday, August 29, for a hearing regarding his divorce from Samantha Lee-Gibson. While he is willing to let her drive away from the marriage with their 2017 Land Rover Discovery, Tyrese Gibson is looking to avoid sending monthly spousal support or handing over the keys to a 2016 Range Rover.
Tyrese Gibson and Samantha Lee-Gibson tied the knot in 2017 and she filed for divorce in September 2020. She is the mother of his three-year-old daughter Soraya Lee Gibson.
During their court appearance, Tyrese also petitioned for joint physical and legal custody of Soraya, as well as final say on non-medical emergencies for the child. He also claimed that his soon-to-be ex-wife’s request for $20,000 a month in child support is
“unreasonably high.”
This will mark Tyrese‘s second divorce, as he was previously married to Norma Mitchell, who is the mother of his oldest daughter Shayla. The two got divorced in 2009 and appear to now be in a much better space following a custody battle and accusations that the singer had been physically abusive to their daughter.
