Highlights
- Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis were seen happily co-parenting at their son’s soccer game despite their ongoing custody dispute.
- Olivia recently won a significant legal victory when a judge denied Jason’s attempt to transfer the case to New York.
- Olivia has claimed that Jason isn’t paying any child support, but a source close to the situation says that they shared costs equally throughout their relationship.
Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis looked like happy co-parents at their son’s soccer game recently, despite navigating an ongoing custody situation, which has gotten messy. The former couple was photographed in Pasadena, California, standing in the crowd with other onlookers at they watched the youth soccer game.
Dressed in a blue bomber jacket with jeans and accessorizing with a pink hat and sunglasses, Olivia was photographed raising her hands in the air to high-five Jason. The Ted Lasso star was casually clad in a grey hoodie and light slacks, with glasses and a baseball cap.
Based on the photos, it’d be hard to believe Olivia and Jason are in a custody dispute over their two children, and even more, that Olivia had a major win only recently.
Olivia And Jason Seem To Be On Good Terms After Her Child Support Victory
In March, a judge denied Jason’s request to transfer the case to New York. Up until then, the actor had been actively contesting Olivia, aiming to relocate the custody disagreement from the California court system. New York generally offers less generous child support provisions compared to California.
This is a significant step for Olivia, albeit an expensive one. As per court documents filed by the actress, her legal team argued that while Jason can afford to engage in a barrage of legal actions, Olivia cannot. Her team further asserted Jason should not be allowed to push Olivia into financial hardship through the ongoing case.
While Olivia has a reported net worth of $10 million, her ex-husband’s is double at $20 million.
Olivia Has Claimed That Jason Doesn’t Pay Child Support
For now, it’s unclear how much child support Jason is paying to Olivia, if anything. In April, following the filing, the Don’t Worry Darling director claimed that her ex-husband wasn’t paying child support at all, despite his significantly higher personal fortune.
A submission made by Olivia’s attorneys claimed that Jason was not presently providing child support to Olivia, despite her legal counsel’s repeated requests for us to reach an interim support agreement to prevent further legal proceedings in their case.
“While Jason and I have been splitting certain expenses for the children, such as their school tuition, I have been bearing 100% of the costs of the children’s care when they are with me, including, but not limited to, their food, clothing, childcare, extracurricular activities, and transportation costs,” Olivia directly stated in the court documents.
Her filing added that Olivia needs child support order to ensure she can adequately meet their children’s needs in line with Jason’s current lifestyle.
However, a source later told PEOPLE that Olivia’s claims weren’t entirely accurate.
“Olivia and Jason shared costs equally and fairly throughout their relationship including everything related to the children,” the insider claimed. “Jason took it upon himself to initiate the proceedings in the first place to ensure that the kids would be properly cared for by both parents based on the court deciding what is fair financially going forward.”
Although Olivia and Jason may still not be in agreement about a permanent child support arrangement, the recent photos suggest the exes remain on amicable terms, at least when it comes to supporting their kids.
