Given that he no longer wears Yankee pinstripes, in 2018, Alex Rodriguez sought to reduce the child support he was paying his ex-wife. He claimed she had enough cash in the bank and since he earns significantly less, he can't pay the amount she is asking for.
According to TMZ, the former third baseman and Cynthia Scurtis have fought about his $115,000 monthly tax-free child and spousal support payments.
The couple got divorced in 2008. They have two daughters, Natasha and Ella. Even though his two tiny girls' monthly expenses ranged from $7,000 to $12,000, Rodriguez was prepared to fork over $20,000 per month for them, including tuition. However, Scurtis wanted that figure to be closer to $50,000.
The 43-year-old outfielder claimed Scurtis is rich and has millions stashed away, three residences, and numerous vehicles. He felt as though he is giving money for her new child and fiance.
