Anthony Edwards Ordered to Pay $14,000 Monthly for Son He Says He Never Met

The ruling rests on the court’s review of Edwards’ reported near-$4.8 million monthly income, with the judge also ordering life insurance and repayment of legal fees.

Overview

  • The judge’s August 20–21 order requires Edwards to pay $14,000 per month in child support for his son Amir, born in 2023.
  • The court also ordered Edwards to obtain roughly $2.6 million in life insurance naming Alexandria Desroches as beneficiary and to cover her legal fees of more than $21,000.
  • Court filings show the support figure was driven by Edwards’ reported monthly income near $4.8 million and by disclosed discretionary spending such as food, entertainment and travel.
  • Edwards admitted under oath that he has never met Amir in person and is not seeking parenting time, yet the judge still imposed the financial and protective obligations.
  • The order adds to other child-support cases involving Edwards, including a prior roughly $3,000-per-month obligation to Ayesha Howard, and highlights that courts set support based on income and the child’s needs regardless of parental contact.
