*Jesse Williams’s estranged wife has requested a boost in child support for their two children, a move that the actor is calling “absurd and greedy,” reports TMZ.
The “Grey’s Anatomy” star split from Aryn Drake-Lee in April, 2017 after nearly five years of marriage, but their separation has made headlines over money and custody issues.
Williams was granted joint custody of their 4-year-old daughter Sadie and 2-year-old son Maceo in March, but Aryn recently filed court papers seeking a steep increase in her monthly support, insisting she was footing the bill for many of their kids’ expenses.
Jesse has now hit back at some of the numbers listed in her legal documents, insisting they are “wildly inflated.” He points to the $25,000 a month she wants for the children’s college savings as an example.
According to paperwork obtained by TMZ, he claims future college savings don’t fall under the jurisdiction of court officials, because by the time the kids begin their higher education, they will be 18 – and he will no longer have to pay for child support.
He goes on to explain they had always agreed their children should lead a “simple life without wasting money on extravagances,” and made it clear he is already happy to cover the full costs of their kids’ current private school expenses and fees for further tuition if necessary.
Williams believes his ex is simply trying to score more cash to add to her spousal support, since they were married for less than five years, meaning she would only be entitled to financial help for half of the time of their union.
He concludes his argument by branding her financial demands “absurd and greedy, and in no way related to the children or their needs.”
Aryn has yet to respond to the accusations.
As previously reported, Williams is reportedly dating New York sports reporter Taylor Rooks.
