The actor is ready to close his wallet. Dennis Quaid has filed court documents seeking to terminate his child support payments following the Quaid twins’ graduation. His daughter Zoe graduated on May 23. His son Thomas finishes on June 3. Quaid argues that payments should stop on each child’s respective graduation date, no exceptions.
The actor wants any additional income-based payments prorated to each child’s graduation date rather than calculated against his full-year earnings. He previously submitted court docs in 2020 stating he was happy to pay more when his fluctuating income allowed it, as long as the amount remained reasonable. Now he believes reasonable means zero.
The Quaid twins graduation marks more than just an academic milestone. It potentially ends the financial ties between Quaid and his second wife. The actor was previously married to Meg Ryan, with whom he shares son Jack Quaid. His first marriage was to actress P.J. Soles. He married his fourth wife, Laura Savoie, in June 2020. But the Dennis Quaid child support battle with Buffington appears to be in its final chapter, pending a judge’s signature.
