Is Dennis Quaid really trying to dodge his financial responsibilities now that his twins are about to leave the nest? Because honey, the timing of this filing is absolutely *chef’s kiss* level petty.
The 70-year-old Hollywood heartthrob just filed court documents requesting to stop paying five-figure monthly child support to his ex-wife Kimberly Buffington for their 18-year-old twins, Thomas and Zoe. And let us just say, the optics of this are NOT giving “loving father” energy. Quaid’s argument? The kids are graduating high school, so mama shouldn’t get his money anymore. Sure, Dennis, because rent, college tuition, and living expenses totally disappear at graduation!
The couple split back in 2018 after nearly a decade together, and they’ve been battling over support ever since. Buffington has been receiving substantial monthly payments to help raise their teens, but apparently Quaid is ready to close that checkbook faster than you can say “midlife crisis.” Court filings don’t show any mention of college expenses or ongoing educational support, which is… interesting timing, isn’t it?
Sources close to the situation suggest that Quaid’s legal team is arguing that once the twins hit 18 and graduate, his obligation should automatically terminate. But sweetie, most states require parents to support their children through college if they’re attending! The Great Gazoo Energy is STRONG with this one.
Fans are absolutely losing it on social media, with many calling out the actor for allegedly trying to shirk his parental duties. “He’s worth millions and wants to cut off support NOW?” one commenter wrote. Another snarked, “Dennis Quaid really said ‘congratulations on graduating, now you’re on your own!'”
Kimberly hasn’t publicly commented yet, but her legal team is surely sharpening their pencils as we speak. This battle is far from over, and honestly? We’re here for the tea. Will Quaid successfully dip out, or will the courts remind him that fatherhood doesn’t have an expiration date?
What do you think? A) Dennis should continue support through college B) The payments should stop after high school graduation
