Linda Evangelista Requests Child Support Payments

Recently, former model Linda Evangelista has become a leading topic in the news.

Evangelista was once married to Francois Henri Pinault, the French billionaire who is now betrothed to actress Salma Hayek. While the two were divorced years ago, Evangelista is now coming forward to claim that Pinault is her son's, 4-year-old Augustin James', father. Since Pinault is the CEO of PPR, which owns Gucci amongst other luxury brands, Evangelista would like to receive fair child support for Augustin.

In addition to requesting child support payments, Evangelista has gone on to state that Pinault cheated on Hayek with her during the early stages of their romance. This rumor appears to be unfounded as Evangelista had a brief, three-month fling with the billionaire, months before he began a relationship with Hayek.

Pinault has reportedly made an offer for child support that is equivalent to what he pays for his first two children. The model has turned it down, stating that it simply isn't enough.

Do you plan to seek child support payments from your child's parent?  If so, it is advised that you enlist the help of a family lawyer.
