AceShowbiz - Alice Evans has taken ex Ioan Gruffudd to court for allegedly failing to pay child support. The "102 Dalmatians" star filed new legal docs as she has yet to receive financial assistance from her former spouse.
The 55-year-old submitted the docs on Monday, July 1. According to RadarOnline.com, she alleged, "While I am struggling to put food on the table for the children, Ioan is jet-setting around the world."
Alice also claimed that Ioan has purchased a new Rolex for himself and fiancee Bianca Wallace as he's been on a worldwide press tour for his new movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Meanwhile, the actress said she's about to have to apply for food stamps to provide for their two daughters.
Alice additionally noted "stories in the media" that suggested Ioan has "purchased an expensive engagement ring for his fiancee" and "recently purchased new Rolex watches." Knowing his ex's alleged "lavish lifestyle," the mom of two requested the court order so the actor pay child and spousal support until their financial trial, which was delayed from April to August of this year.
"Alice is applying for public assistance because she is unable to support herself and the children," her lawyer Janina Verano stated in the filing, according to the Daily Mail. "It appears that the financial trial will be several months away and Alice will not be able to survive without the receipt of guideline spousal support."
"Ioan has the ability to pay spousal support based upon his greater ability to earn income and his ongoing lavish lifestyle," her lawyer argued. "For these reasons, Alice requests guideline child and spousal support."
Not stopping there, Janina claimed Ioan has not seen his daughters outside of reunification therapy. Also, he reportedly hasn't "exercised his court ordered right" to phone calls with the young girls up to three times a week.
