Tyrese Ordered To Pay $10k/Month in Child Support

Tyrese's courtroom showdown with his estranged wife, Samantha Lee Gibson, wrapped up in Georgia with the judge ordering the actor to pay $10,690/month in child support. The exes have a daughter, Soraya. Tyrese wasn't happy with the outcome, the judge addressed him directly, saying This is not a punishment for you. Put that money where it belongs, in the child! The judge also advised Samantha and Tyrese not to bad mouth each other in front of Soraya and said Tyrese should be happy if his ex moves into a nicer house, because it means a better standard of living for his daughter. the judge said the $10k/month dates back to when Samantha first filed for divorce in Sept. 2020 which means he owes his ex a lump sum of $209k. Tyrese got a credit, noting he had been making Samantha's car payments for 2 years, the judge knocked off $46k bringing the lump sum down to $169k. Almost as an afterthought, the very last thing the judge did was to grant Samantha's petition for divorce so, both of them are single even if they're not yet ready to mingle.
