Tyrese Gibson’s ex-wife Samantha Gibson pleaded with a Georgia judge to throw out his lawsuit seeking to lower his child support payments due to his income dropping drastically, In Touch can exclusively report.

Samantha filed a motion to dismiss, obtained by In Touch, on February 14. She explained Tyrese, 46, was ordered to pay her $10,690 per month in child support for their 5-year-old daughter named Soraya.

Samantha was awarded primary custody in 2023. In her filing, Samantha opposed Tyrese’s petition, filed in state court, to reduce the $10,690 a month he pays in child support.

She said Tyrese appealed the child support order in a separate petition with the Georgia Supreme Court, where he makes an argument that the monthly child support that was awarded was not permitted pursuant to their terms of their premarital contract.

In addition, Samantha said despite Tyrese being ordered to pay $10,690 per month in child support starting September 2022, “he has only paid the full monthly amount three times.”

Samantha said Tyrese has been held in willful contempt three separate times by Fulton County Court, including an incarceration order.”

She claimed that Tyrese currently owes her $107,850 in back support, along with $4,105 in interest, for a total amount owed of $111,955, as of February 14.

The judge has yet to rule.
