Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis‘ tumultuous custody battle continues. Last week, the Don’t Worry Darling director, 39, and her legal team called for a judgement on child support, as per documents obtained by The Blast.
The Booksmart filmmaker alleges that she is incurring most of the expenses for her and the Ted Lasso actor’s two children Otis, 8, and Daisy, 6. She claims that Sudeikis, 47 (who she was in a relationship with from 2011 to 2020) is “not currently paying child support to me, despite my requests through counsel that we agree upon an interim support amount to avoid further litigation in this matter.”

Wilde added, "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."
A source close to the Saturday Night Live alum reportedly dished to People Magazine that this filing "doesn't accurately capture the state of affairs" between the co-parents. "Olivia and Jason shared costs equally and fairly throughout their relationship including everything related to the children," the source noted.

Wilde also claims Sudeikis is wealthier than her, and should be paying for her attorney's fees. "I am asking the Court to make an order regarding child support so that I can adequately provide for our children commensurate with Jason's standard of living."
The Tron: Legacy actress added, "I am also asking that Jason make a contribution to my attorney and accountant fees and costs, not only due to him being in a significantly superior position than me financially, but because the vast majority of the fees I have incurred have been due to Jason and his counsel's egregious, unnecessary, and aggressive conduct."
In the legal filing, the House star is clear that she doesn't believe her ex will argue that he is richer than she is: "While I have yet to receive specific financial information from Jason, my understanding and belief is that he is wealthier than I am and has far greater income. I have no reason to believe that Jason would dispute this."

The document also points out, "Olivia will continue to incur substantial attorney and expert fees and costs to bring this matter to trial given the tactics that have been taken by Jason and his counsel to date. Olivia, therefore, requests that the Court order that Jason makes a contribution of no less than $500,000 toward Olivia's fees and costs."
Wilde's lawyers stressed that "it is undisputed that he earns significantly more than Olivia and has greater access to funds. Jason shares equal responsibility with Olivia for the support of their children, yet Olivia has borne the lion's share of the expenses for their children since the pendency of this action." Ultimately, the Cowboys & Aliens star is requesting that the We're the Millers actor be ordered to pay child support "retroactive" to the date which she filed the case.
