Actor Jim Carrey's Ex-Wife Seeks More Child Support
Thu Apr 3, 7:34 AM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo!
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Jim Carrey's ex-wife wants a judge to award her more child support, saying that their daughter must get by on $10,000 a month and cannot afford her own bodyguards, personal trainer or Pilates equipment, according to court papers obtained by an investigative Web site on Wednesday.
Melissa Carrey says in the court papers, obtained by The Smoking Gun Web site, that $10,000 a month "is not sufficient" to meet the needs of her 15-year-old daughter Jane, who wants to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
A spokeswoman for Jim Carrey, star of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors, could not immediately be reached for comment, nor could a spokesman for his ex-wife.
"Jane does not have personal security ... which I believe is important to have at this time," Melissa Carrey said of her daughter in the court papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, noting that the teenager is "often followed around" by photographers.
"Jane enjoys Pilates and takes classes at the local Pilates studio but does not have her own personal trainer or her own Pilates equipment," the ex-Mrs. Carrey said in the papers, adding that she would like to build a $200,000 studio for the girl to practice the fitness regimen and her musical instruments.
Melissa Carrey, who has primary custody of her daughter, says she pays for her classes in drama, music recording and arranging, singing, tennis, dance, Pilates and computers, but would like to sign her up for horseback riding lessons and a private ski instructor.
Jane Carrey also needs money for a talent agent and to be professionally photographed as she begins a career in entertainment, her mother says.
Jane Carrey is the only child of Jim and Melissa Carrey, who divorced in 1995.
