Arnold Schwarzengger Pays Child Support Before Filing for Divorce

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jun 21st 2011 12:40PM

Even though Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver both have yet to officially file for divorce, following the shocking news of Schwarzenegger's secret love child, the former governor of California is already paying a hefty child support to Shriver, according to Radar Online.

A source close to the couple told Radar that 'The Terminator' is paying "a significant amount of child support. Arnold is also paying for his sons, Patrick and Christopher's private school bills."

The couple has yet to take any financial agreement to court. So does this mean that both parties will be able to come to an arrangement without airing out their dirty laundry in court? Although Schwarzenegger has willingly decided to take care of his childrens' financial needs, that doesn't mean that Shriver doesn't have her own personal wealth to fall back on.

"Even though Maria is a Kennedy, and has inherited a great deal of money from her parents' estate since their deaths, she is taking the child support," the source continued. "Under California law she is entitled to the child support, once either one of them files for divorce. Maria and Arnold's lawyers have been working on a divorce settlement but in the meantime Arnold is willingly paying the money to Maria."

But just because the pair hasn't been duking it out in court yet doesn't mean that Shriver isn't doing her own digging. Shriver is currently working with forensic accountants to garner an exact reading of her husband's vast net worth. We have no doubt that, although humiliated, Shriver will be walking away from her 25 year marriage as an even richer lady.

"Maria wants to get a fair divorce settlement, and move on with her life," the source explained. "She has already begun to do so. She and Arnold talk quite often, it would surprise people how gracious Maria is being about the entire situation. Maria doesn't want the kids to suffer because of stupid decisions their father made."

But Schwarzenegger's children will be far from suffering, their father is taking care of all of his kids' educational endeavors and we're pretty sure anything else they could want -- daddy has some making up to do.

I hope Arnold gets sucked dry of all his money. He deserves nothing for what he did to Maria and his children. Terminator should be terminated financially.....

By lara

Oh lets give him a pat on the back!!!!! This piece of trash gets no credit ...

By Koz

What is he crazy, she has her own money let her pay for the kids.

By dcwalker

....it took two to make the kids he should pay since he's the slimeball.

By JKJD

I believe that the children are both Maria and the Sperminator. He is therefore responsible for child support until the children are 18 years old, or up to 23 if they are in college, and IK doubt that he will fight that.

point is pay for your kids!!!! your kids even the illegal one!!!!

By lk

the kids are both of theirs so he is required to pay to help support them. you are the type who would say, i don't pay support but i buy them sneakers, fool.

By Simzee

If you don't want to pay child support.....KEEP THY CLOTHES ON.

By mw

It doesn't matter how much money she has, he has to pay, their his kids too.

By John

Are you serious? Obviously, you're a man paying child support to someone.

By Ten&One

She would have to pay child support if - IF - he was the one with custody. As in any court in the U.S., the parent who does not have custody pays the support. Their kids are old enough to make that decision and they want their mother to have custody.
So, he pays. Actually, she has already paid a pretty stiff price.

By Bob

You don't get it dude.....He is the dirtbag in this case. He has the OBLIGATION to pay child support and I hope his wife takes him to the cleaners.

It isn't about money it is about who is the father and done the wrong where did you get your brains?

By Heidi

He is the parent to those children and he needs to pay support. What are you, stupid or something? This isn't about Maria having money, this is about Arnold supporting his children. You have got to be one of the stupidest people on earth. Either that or you are a father who pays nothing for his children and think that's okay.

By Linda

Kos...typical mind of a man....disgusting.... Once again, why should a man not be responsible for his own kids....how would you feel if your rich daddy refused to send money to take care of you??

Any of you reading the article? He is already supporting his kids without the child support, like paying for school. Child Support only means more money for the mom to spend. Hell, that is what my mom did and I got crap.

By anita

why they are his kids too WHY should he NOT help and support his own children
