Kirk Kerkorian Has to Pay Hefty Child Support

Kirk Kerkorian, former owner of MGM, is currently ensnared in a legal battle with ex-wife Lisa Kerkorian who wants to increase the amount of child support received each month. A copy of the original agreement regarding child support for their 12 year old daughter shows that Kirk was already paying $50,000 per month; he is now being asked to pay double that amount, $100,000 per month. This is just another blow to Kirk after their publicly humiliating and nasty divorce that is among the highest pay-off divorces in the industry. 

Her lawyer, Michael Triope, has been hard at work, however, digging through Kirk's financial statements to unearth $10,250,000 in retroactive child support. Trope, known for his aggressive tactics in regards to child support payments, went all the way back to 2002 to search for payments that could be discussed in future legal matters surrounding the Kerkorian's case. 

With the increase in child support payment Lisa also agreed to give up a civil suit that she had filed against her ex-husband years ago that could have cost him millions of dollars.
