AceShowbiz - In the bustling streets of Los Angeles, amidst the glittering lights and the endless streams of cars, heartbreak finds a way to manifest. Over the weekend, Jaime King, known for her role in "Hart of Dixie," was spotted shedding tears while driving on Sunset Boulevard. This poignant moment of vulnerability underscores the actress's current personal and financial turmoil, as she grapples with the complexities of her ongoing divorce from Kyle Newman.
The emotional strain on King comes amid her recent emergency request to amend the child and spousal support agreement with Newman. The couple, who share two sons, James Knight, 10, and Leo Thames, 8, have been entangled in a legal battle since King filed for divorce in May 2020, after 13 years of marriage.
The request to alter the financial arrangements stems from King's declared inability to sustain the agreed-upon payments, a situation she laid bare in a lawsuit filed on April 15. Despite her struggles, Newman has contested King's claims, suggesting that she has long been non-compliant with the support orders.
Responding to King's emergency motion, Newman's attorney, Garry M. Gekht, emphasized the legal system's recognition of the couple's previously agreed terms.
"The Court saw through Jaime's latest attempt at attempting to get orders by ambush on an emergency basis, agreed with Kyle's opposition that Jaime's request lacks merit, and denied her motion in full today," Gekht stated. This rebuttal sheds light on the ongoing contentious nature of the divorce proceedings, which have been marred by financial disputes and custody battles.
As part of the divorce settlement, King was ordered to pay Newman a monthly sum in child support, alongside additional payments based on her income. The agreement also included spousal support, further adding to King's financial obligations.
These arrangements, intended to last until death or King's remarriage, highlight the complex intertwining of love, marriage, and monetary dealings in the world of celebrity divorces.
The saga of Jaime King and Kyle Newman is a stark reminder of the challenges faced when personal lives unfold in the public eye. Behind the glamour of Hollywood, real-life dramas often play out, involving heartache, financial strains, and the arduous quest for resolution. As King's recent breakdown reveals, the cost of fame can indeed be steep, exacting both emotional and financial tolls.
