The Game’s Up: 7 Star Moms Who Pay Alimony to Ex-Husbands

What comes to mind when you hear the word “alimony”? Most likely some male image. However, women also pay child support. Such cases also occur with star ex-couples.

Maria Maksakova is the mother of many children, but she only raises her youngest son, who was born in marriage with Denis Voronenkov. The older children, 17-year-old Ilya and 13-year-old Lyudmila, have been living with their father Vladimir Tyurin for several years and do not communicate with their mother.

Not so long ago, Maria decided to sue the apartment from her older children, which she herself had donated to them. She explained her act by saying that their father and her ex-husband mismanaged real estate. In response, Tyurin demanded alimony. The court rejected Maksakova’s claim, but partially granted her ex-husband’s request.

“The unemployed single father was literally begging. From July I have to transfer ten and 15 thousand rubles to Ilya and Lyudmila. This is a violation in any case, as I do not have the salary to match these figures. Appointed on a double cost of living basis. I still don’t understand how this is possible. Tyurin probably imagines in his blue dreams how he would beat me with a whip in the stable, but for now I have to be partially satisfied,” Maksáková shared her emotions. Litigation between the ex-spouses continues.

In 2007, Britney Spears filed for divorce from her husband, dancer Kevin Federline. The singer was very upset by the breakup and found solace in alcohol and illegal substances. This is what her ex-husband used against her: he sued for custody rights (the court allowed the Brit to see the children only on weekends), he kept all the expensive gifts from his ex-wife, he received a one-time payment of a million dollars, and the court ordered the singer to pay her ex-husband 20 thousand dollars a month.

You’ll be surprised, but it wasn’t enough for Kevin. In 2018, Federline tried to negotiate with Spears’ lawyers to double the payments. Britney puckered her former tight lip and sent her home.

With her first husband Ron Snyder-Britton, Kim did not even have children together, but this did not stop him from trying to collect alimony from his rich ex-wife. In court, Ron noted that the divorce took him by surprise (Basinger was tired of enduring his jealousy and filed for divorce) and now he doesn’t know how to continue living – it won’t go well!

And then Snyder-Britton assured that 12 thousand a month would help heal his spiritual wounds. And the court granted his request!

Another rare case: Halle Berry and model Gabriel Aubry were not even painted, but that did not stop the man from collecting alimony from his star wife. A few years after the split, Gabriel found out that Holly was dating French actor Olivier Martinez and was planning to take their daughter Nala to France, and went to court.

Aubrey tried to forbid his ex-wife from taking their child abroad and demanded alimony in the amount of 16 thousand dollars a month. The mannequin explained his lawsuit simply: he sits with his daughter during Berry’s trips, which means he needs money to support her.

After some time, the actress found out that Gabriel stopped working completely and lived perfectly on alimony. She then turned to the court with a request to reduce the amount of monthly installments, but her claim was not satisfied.

In 2011, the future star of the movie “Deadpool” Morena Baccarin married the director and screenwriter Austin Cheek. Two years later, their son Julius was born.

And two years later, Morena fell in love. The actress cheated on her husband with actor Ben McKenzie. It is not known how long this secret affair would last, but Baccarin became pregnant, confessed everything to her husband, and an immediate divorce followed. The transgressions of Austin’s ex-wife turned in his favor: he began to ask for alimony. According to the court decision, Morena now pays her ex-husband $20,000 a month.

In 1981, Jane Seymour married businessman David Flynn. It was a happy marriage with two children. Unfortunately, the couple’s separation was completely bleak. David abandoned not only Jane but also their children and demanded compensation as well.

As a result, the businessman not only sued for half of the estate, but also received payment from the famous wife of alimony – 10 thousand dollars a month.

Mel B’s ten-year marriage to producer Stephen Belafonte, to whom she gave birth to daughter Madison in 2011, ended in scandal. The ex-spouses publicly accused each other of infidelity and domestic violence, and also threatened to reveal incriminating evidence.

Surprisingly, Mel and Stephen were able to come to an agreement after a while. They decided to raise their daughter together (without any alimony from either side), but the singer pledged to “financially help” Belafonte for three years. According to rumors, it was about 500 thousand dollars a year.

This story is number eight because it’s already in the past, but we decided it deserved our list. A few years ago, when Dana Borisova was being treated for addiction, her daughter Polina lived with her father, the ex-husband of TV presenter Maxim Aksyonov.

The man decided he had the right to claim alimony from his ex-wife – which he did. Borisova paid the owed amount and did it even though her daughter had already returned to her. Only in 2018 was it decided that the girl could now live with her mother, and the need to pay alimony returned to Aksyonov.
