Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde are locked in a new dispute over child support.
The former couple – who have Otis, nine, and Daisy, six, together – were told last summer that judges in New York and California had ruled that all custody issues should be handled in Australia, but the ‘Ted Lasso’ actor’s lawyer, Bill Beslow, requested that child support issues be resolved in the Big Apple.
According to TMZ, the lawyer went to court on January 4 and the judge set a hearing date for February 15, but the director of “Don’t Worry Darling” is “confused” by the move and wants the custody and support of child may have decided in Los Angeles.
His legal team filed documents asking the judge to dismiss Jason’s request, so that all issues involving the children can be handled in Los Angeles.
It is said that the 47-year-old actor does not want to receive child support from Olivia, and he is willing to pay her a “reasonable amount”, which will be decided by both of them, or by the judge.
The 38-year-old actress-and-director recently expressed her frustration that people think she’s “abandoned” her children because she’s been busy working since she and Jason split in 2020.
She said: “I share custody of my children with my ex.
“The suggestion is that I give up my role as a mother.”
Olivia insists she cannot be seen in public with her children because she “doesn’t take pictures of them”.
He added: “Do you know what lengths I will go to to protect my children from your sight?”
