Singer Marc Anthony has been ordered by a judge to pay his ex-wife, Dayanara Torres, USD 26,000 a month in child support.
This is double of what was initially agreed when the two separated in 2004. They have two children together, sons Cristian (aged 13) and Ryan (aged 11), reported E! online.
Whilst the amount may seem excessive, it was a compromise to the amount Torres was demanding, approximately USD 123,426.
Torres argued Anthony sees their sons very little and that her financial needs have changed since their divorce a decade ago.
Anthony, who is also the father of a set of twins with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, was ordered to pay the increased child support and an additional amount to pay for a nanny and housekeeper.
45-year-old Anthony will also cover Torres' legal costs which amount to approximately USD 70,000.
