The separation of these star couples made a lot of noise, mainly due to the fact that the parties could not immediately agree on the financial component of the issue. We bring to your attention the rating of star dads who have a difficult relationship with alimony.
Eddie Murphy
If the name Eddie Murphy sounds in Hollywood, then the gossip journalists know: in 99% of cases, this is a scandal, writes Rambler. And, most likely, this very scandal is connected with the personal life of the father of nine children! To understand the intricacies of amorous stories of the famous comic oh how difficult it is.
Judge for yourself: in 1993, after two years of relationship, Murphy married model Nicole Mitchell. For 13 years of marriage, they had five children: in 1989 - Bria, in 1992 - Miles, in 1994 - Shane, in 1999 - Zola, in 2002 - Zahra. But that's not all!
A few months before Beria’s son Eric was born, another woman, actress Paulette McNeely, presented the actor with an actor. And when little Brei was one year old, her dad once again became a father: director Tamara Hood gave birth to Murphy's son Christian. Tired of loving husband, Nicole Mitchell filed for divorce, and in the spring of 2006, the comedian officially became a free man. True, the journalists did not have to wait long for the next “family” scandal: in December of the same year, a friend of the former ex-soloist Murphy Spice Girls Melanie Brown has announced that the comedian will become a dad for the eighth time! And everything would be fine, but Murphy left the pregnant singer and recognized the girl Angel Iris as his daughter only after a DNA test.
For a long time, dad refused not only to pay alimony, he did not even want to get acquainted with the baby. Time passed, the litigation continued, the amount of alimony grew. In early 2009, the former lovers reached a compromise. According to the newspaper The Daily Mail, the stellar father will pay 35 thousand of alimony monthly payments until Angel Iris is 18 years old.
By the way, Murphy would prefer not to put an end to this in the epic with fatherhood. In May 2016, he became a father for the ninth time! Daughter Eazy was given to the actor by his girlfriend, actress Paige Butcher.
Mel Gibson
They say that you cannot build your own happiness out of someone else’s misfortune. You start to believe in it when you remember how the novel of a Hollywood actor and pianist Oksana Grigorieva developed. Not without her "efforts" collapsed the marriage of Mel Gibson with Robin Moore, who for 25 years of living together gave the actor seven children.
29 on April 2009, the couple appeared at the Hollywood premiere of a film about Wolverine, at the end of May on the air of a talk show having a large father said that he would soon have an eighth child, and on October 30, baby Lucia appeared.
Gibson decided to play it safe and suggested that the sweetheart sign the marriage contract in advance (according to its terms, the pianist will receive 5 million dollars a year over the next 10 years). But, apparently, Oksana Grigorieva did not consider the proposal of the beloved man the height of generosity.
In April, 2010, a scandal occurred, which no one expected: the newly made mother said that Gibson raised her hand and threatened her life, including their common daughter! The court found the Oscar-winning actor guilty (Mel carried out public works and spent three years in probation) - he forbade approaching Oksana and Lucia, and also obliged to pay alimony for the maintenance of the girl.
Initially, the amount of payments was 5 thousand dollars a month, then it constantly increased and reached the mark of 20 thousand dollars. True, apparently, Oksana is not going to stop at this, because the child is growing, which means that the cost of maintaining him too.
Tom Cruise
A divorce from Katie Holmes badly patted not only the nerves, but also the wallet of one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. And this is not surprising, because a strange marriage contract, Tom Cruise’s fabulous money, and Scientology, and a couple’s common daughter were woven into this 2012 story.
On the eve of Cruise's 50th birthday, the actress filed for divorce in a New York court citing the notorious phrase "irreconcilable differences" as the reason. It is no secret that Holmes did not share her husband's passion for Scientology and was afraid that Suri, who at that moment was 6 years old, was about to "begin to introduce" the teachings of Ron Hubbard.
Holmes spent a substantial amount on lawyers, but was satisfied with the court decision. The actress was granted sole custody of her daughter (Cruise is allowed to see the girl on the agreed dates), while the actor was ordered to transfer $33 monthly to Suri's account.
It is also known that Cruz will have to fork out for a higher education for her daughter.
Francois – Henri Pino
From wealth to greed is less than one step, or rather, just one not very successful romance. The story of the famous model Linda Evangelista and the French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault proves this: a 4-month love affair ended in 2006 with the news of Linda's pregnancy ...
Why the relationship ended, you ask? Because the businessman was in love with ... Salma Hayek, and continuing to meet with Linda was simply not part of his plans. It was rumored that Pinot even offered Evangelista an abortion, but the 40-year-old model refused.
11 October 2006 was born their common son Augustine. But the billionaire's heart did not flinch. As Linda later stated in court, the father of the child did not take any financial part in raising the boy and did not even congratulate him on the holidays! The model demanded that Pinot support conditions for her biological child that were not worse than were created for her legitimate daughter from Salma Hayek, baby, little Valentina.
The epic with counting daily expenses, finding out whether the evangelists justified the requests (and she said in court that she spends almost 50 thousand dollars a month on babysitters, drivers, developmental activities, food and clothing for the child) for a long time. By the way, the supermodel’s stubborn efforts were more than justified: up to the 18 anniversary, Augustine James would receive over half a million dollars from his rich father.
Charlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen knows firsthand what it is like to be the father of five children. And the point is not so much in finding time for communicating with each other, as in the need to invest in a son materially.
If the eldest daughter of the actor no longer requires special material injections (recall, Cassandra is 33 years old, she is married), then money will not even interfere with Shin's younger children.
From his marriage to actress Denise Richards, one of the most outrageous men in Hollywood has two daughters: 14-year-old Sam and 12-year-old Lola; actress Brooke Mueller gave Sheen twin sons Bob and Max in 2009. Until the beginning of 2016, the star dad regularly paid child support - 55 thousand dollars a month went to the account of Richards and Muller.
But the artist's financial situation has changed due to illness (recall that in 2015, Shin officially admitted that he was HIV-infected), and he filed a lawsuit requesting a reduction in the amount of monthly payments to children. What is most interesting, the court sided with Tire and reduced the amount of alimony by five times! Is it any wonder that former wives protest as they can?
