It’s a headline that’s impossible to ignore: Jon Cryer’s ex-wife, Sarah Trigger, is asking for her child support to be increased from $8,000 to an eye-popping $88,000 per month. Nearly a decade after their divorce, the drama between the former couple is far from over. But why the huge spike in the demand, and what does this financial battle mean for the future of their son, and their relationship? Let’s break it down.
Sarah Trigger’s request has raised more than a few eyebrows. $88,000 a month in child support for their 13-year-old son—that’s almost a 10x increase from the current amount of $8,000. According to Trigger’s lawyer, Keith Simpson, this isn’t about Sarah’s personal finances. Instead, Simpson argues that the child’s well-being is at stake.
The claim is that the current arrangement creates a disparity in the quality of life between parents.
With Jon Cryer’s wealth—a result of his successful career, particularly from Two and a Half Men—his son lives a life of luxury when he’s with him. But when he’s with Sarah, the situation isn’t quite the same. Simpson suggests that at 13, children are perceptive enough to notice which parent can offer what. If one parent can provide a lavish lifestyle while the other struggles, it could cause tension and confusion.
