Tyrese Gibson Seeks Child Support Reduction Amid 85% Income Drop

Tyrese Gibson is seeking a reduction in his monthly child support payments to his ex-wife Samantha Lee, claiming his income has plummeted by 85% to approximately $39,000 per month. This request comes after a judge ordered him to pay $10,000 per month in child support in 2023, following the awarding of primary custody to Samantha for their 5-year-old daughter, Soraya. Tyrese's legal team argues that his financial situation has drastically changed since the initial ruling, stating he no longer qualifies as a high-income earner under the law. They also noted that Samantha, a certified social worker, may have seen an increase in her earnings since their last court appearance. The actor's request for modification is aimed at reflecting both parties' current financial realities. Tyrese's petition was filed shortly after a brief arrest related to back child support payments.
