Arnold Schwarzengger Pays Child Support Before Filing for Divorce

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.

Americans are sad people. so what he made a bad mistake, that does not make him a bad person. Worry about your own sad lives and let them work out whatever they think is best based on their relationship

Jeff sleeping with the maid. Getting her pregnant isn't considered a mistake. It is called Adultrey. She was also married. They are both immoral... Not a mistake. That is when you transpose a number, perhaps...
Jackie.....it does NOT matter what happened behind closed doors....Arnie DID NOT SET A GOOD EXAMPLE for his children....or anyone else for that matter...anyway you look at it....he could have gotten a divorce if he was not happy....but instead he lied and cheated...and with the housemaid at that....disgusting..

Good, maybe she's screwing him for the screwing he gave her...good, hope she takes every cent he has and then some! Then donate it to a worthy charity!

Like she really needs the money. This is more about punishing him monetarily!

Don't pick on Arnie. He is doing the right thing, and if they both weren't celebrities it wouldn't even be news. Let's talk about the pro basketball player who fathered 10 kids with Eight different women and didn't pay a dime with his multi-million bonus. Yea, let's talk about him!

That would be children's financial needs, not childrens' financial needs. Seriously. It's never childrens'. Never.

They are both very rich so money is not an issue. I'm sure those kids will be just fine. On the other hand, maybe if she took care of his manly needs he wouldnt have to go hogging. Ultimately, I'm pretty confident that he will do the right thing. It takes 2 to tango and she proabably pushed him away. Woman need to realize that men istninctively want to screw everything that has a pulse. The almighty made it that way to guarrantee a future. She should have did her best to keep him sexually satisfied if she really wanted to keep him engaged in the marriage.

Sickend by how u describe the "love child"''' Sperminator has been paying for and supporting "love child" and his mama all these years..why wouln't he pay for his other children?

Maria wasnt paying much attention to the finances or she would have noticed Thousands of dollars missing each month.......OH that right, when you have that much money you dont even balance your check book each month let alone worry about the grocery bill.
pam
PAY,PAY,PAY Arnie just like u did for your "love child " and his mama...............

Everybody knows that Arnold is a dirt bag for what he did. Nobody has said that he is a cheap dirt bag.

Getting another woman pregnant is a mistake. It is more than that. It
is lying, betrayal, cheating. Who knows what diseases he could have
brought home to her. Please he made a mistake like it is that simple.
It is people like him that get into office and tell the gays they
could not marry because of values. Those are the people who are the
biggest hypocrites and doing crap like that on their wifes'. Even the
gay guy that was in offices voted against gays when he was bedding
some guy while married. Please. All hypocrites get out of office. If
you want many women then don't get married that simple

I feel very sorry for Maria Shriver - but it's not like she hasn't seen it in her own family. Her grandfather had Gloria Swanson on the side for a very long time while Rose gave birth to all the children. Both of her uncles while married went for Marilyn Monroe and endless other starlets. I know that the "Kennedy" name is somehow suppose to be this immaculate name - American royalty - but I see the Kennedy legacy unfortunately representing NO MORALS, NO VALUES, NO STANDARDS, NO RESPECT! I know Arnold is not a Kennedy but he married a Kennedy and everyone warned Maria against his womanizing. This was no shocker for us - why should it be a shocker to her? I know, shame on me for telling it like it really is but someone has to be objective about this. True Lies - Truly finally filtering into reality!

Two different babies from two different women within a week!

She should take that money and get A face lift.

Um spunkwads, a rugrat was conceived while the couple was married, so technically maria is also responsible for a portion of support for the illegitimate one. And, as long as we're dishing trash, why isn't are-nold eyeballing her net worth-he's entitled to a portion of it I'm sure.
