Get Married Brehtetts:Morena Baccarin to Pay Ex Husband $23K per Month in Child and Spousal Support

[Giselle]

Morena Baccarin is about to drop major coin on her soon-to-be ex-husband Austin Chick ... a judge just ordered her to pay him almost $23k a month.

Here's the breakdown ... Chick gets $2,693 in child support, and a whopping $20,249 for spousal support. It adds up to more than $275k a year ... so Chick won't exactly have to wait tables.

As we previously reported, Baccarin and Chick have joint custody of their 2-year-old son Julius, but since she films in NYC, he mostly stays with his mom.

The divorce is still ongoing, but Baccarin has definitely moved on ... she's pregnant with "Gotham" co-star Ben McKenzie's baby.

Morena Baccarin will have to pay her estranged husband Austin Check more $23,000 a month for the foreseeable future, a judge ruled Thursday.

Baccarin, 36, was the family's breadwinner during their three-year marriage and Chick, an independent writer, director and producer, is currently unemployed. At a custody hearing in Los Angeles on Thursday, she was ordered to pay him $20,349 each month in spousal support until he remarries or dies, and $2,693 in child support until their son Julius, now 2, turns 18, according to court papers obtained by PEOPLE.

In September, a Los Angeles judge allowed Baccarin to move Julius with her to New York, where she shoots Gotham.

Baccarin is now expecting a baby with costar Ben McKenzie, 37.

On Thursday, the actress asked that the amount she pays to rent an apartment for Chick, 44, in N.Y.C. to live in when he visits Julius be deducted from her spousal support, but the judge denied her request.

"In my opinion, Ms. Baccarin got the shortest end of the stick," divorce lawyer Michael Stutman, head of the family group at Mishcon de Reya New York, tells PEOPLE.

"Not giving Ms. Baccarin credit for the N.Y.C. apartment she had been paying for was a slap at her," adds Stutman, who is not involved in the case. "Clearly there was a lack of an enforceable agreement if it wasn't brought up in the spousal support decision."

I would like to add that he was making more money than her when they first got together. They talked about separating at the beginning of the year, but she told him that she wanted to work things out. It didn't work and he filed for divorce in July. He came home in August and found Ben in his house with his son and in September she told him that she was four months pregnant with Ben's child.



I don't feel sorry for her. She got what she deserved. All married cheaters (male and female) should be punished like this.


I forgot to add that she tried to get sole custody of their son, but the judge didn't let her.

She bad

 

[.༼-◕_◕-༽.]

Why didn't she get Wasserman? This seems standard. If she were the unemployed one, she'd be getting that much support.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

She cheated, that's her fault!

 

[Amphibious]

OP actually thinks this rare case is on point with the 1,000:1 ratio of women getting the cheddar from the men after divorce. Pathetic

Plus, SHE cheated.
