Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower separated in 2018. Since then, the actor has paid 100,000 euros in monthly support payments to his ex-wife. Except that since the beginning of the Covid crisis, he saw this amount down and it saw red.
It’s a big deal between Robert De Niro and his ex-wife, Grace Hightower. While support payments are set at 100,000 euros per month, Robert De Niro has only paid half of his ex since the start of the Covid crisis. She went to court, but lawyers explained to the Manhattan Supreme Court: the actor is a shareholder in a restaurant chain and a hotel. These two businesses suffered greatly from the crisis and De Niro had to replenish the coffers with his personal reserves.
It is not enough to really harm the star’s portfolio, but he would also have gone into debt with other shareholders who work with him to save the business. Finally, his cinematographic projects have been put on hold, he should only touch the millions of the film “The Irishman”.
So many reasons that made him reduce child support. In fact, according to the terms of the divorce, he should pay Grace Hightower a million a year only if he received more than fifteen. For 2020, his lawyers estimate that he will not earn more than $ 7.5 million.
The Manhattan Supreme Court judge issued a temporary judgment. Robert De Niro has been allowed to keep Grace’s credit card limit at $ 50,000 a month, but will have to pay her $ 75,000 so she can find a home to stay with their two children this summer.
