Last year Tyrese Gibson was arrested for purposely underpaying his child support after accusing the judge of being unfair [click here if you missed that].
Now Tyrese is trying a new strategy...
From In Touch
Tyrese Gibson pleaded with the court to lower his child support payments to his ex-wife, Samantha Gibson, due to his income dropping by 85 percent, In Touch can exclusively report.
The Fast & Furious actor, 46, filed a petition, obtained by In Touch, on December 3, 2024, a couple weeks after he was arrested and then released over alleged back child support.
A judge ordered Tyrese to pay Samantha $10,000 per month in child support. Tyrese said that since the child support was entered by the court, he has experienced a drastic reduction in his income.
Tyrese said his income has decreased by approximately 85 percent as of September 2024.
He said he pulls in around $39,000 per month.
His lawyer argued, “The income of [Tyrese] has drastically reduced since 2022 when the evidence was taken at the final trial in August 2022. Traditionally, as a self- employed individual, [Tyrese’s] income has fluctuated for his entire career over the past 26 years.”
Tryese’s lawyer added, “Accordingly, because [Tyrese’s] income has decreased by more than eighty-five percent as of September 2024, [Tyrese] no longer has a high income” under the law.”
