Dennis Quaid has filed a petition to stop his monthly $13,750 child support payments to his ex-wife, Kimberly Buffington, for their 18-year-old twins once they finish high school in the coming weeks. The 72-year-old actor also wants additional annual payments
Dennis Quaid is asking a court to end his monthly child support payments to his ex-wife, Kimberly Buffington, at the moment their twins finish high school.
The 72-year-old The Substance actor has filed a petition to stop monthly payments of $13. 750 for their 18-year-old children after they graduate “in the next few weeks. ” according to the terms reflected in their 2018 divorce agreement. The filing centers on when those obligations should end under the agreement: payments could stop “when a child completes 12th grade (if still under 19 and a full-time high school student) or reaches the other enumerated endpoints. whichever occurs first.”.
Quaid is also seeking changes to how an additional annual payment is handled. Under the divorce agreement. he is required to pay an extra amount to Buffington each year if he earns more than $1. 314. 000. In his petition. he wants that extra sum “prorated to each child’s graduation date rather than using Dennis‘ full-year 2026 income.”.
Quaid and Buffington welcomed their children in November 2007. They married in 2004 and divorced in 2018. Buffington is his third ex-wife.
While the child support fight moves through the legal process, Quaid has also been talking publicly about politics. He recently said President Donald Trump is “genuine” and has his voters’ “best interests at heart. ” explaining that Trump “wouldn’t be president if he wasn’t genuine. ” because the people who voted for him “know that he has their best interest at heart.”.

So basically he’s asking to stop paying like 2 weeks early? Rich people problems.
I don’t get it, aren’t they already 18? If the twins graduated, why would he still pay? Sounds like a loophole thing.
He wants the extra annual payment prorated, which is like… splitting the year? But wasn’t the whole point “full-year income” like in taxes? Honestly this divorce paperwork stuff always gets weird.
Dennis Quaid supporting Trump and then fighting child support is such a combo lol. Like I’m sure the court will see it his way, because he’s famous and all. Also “next few weeks” payments like what, are they graduating early? Not even sure how high school ends anymore.
