Sherri Shepherd‘s ex-husband, Lamar Sally, is requesting increased child support for the couple’s 2-year-old son, Lamar Sally, Jr., according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
L.J., now 2, was conceived using Sally’s sperm and a donor egg. In November 2015, a Pennsylvania court of appeals upheld a lower court’s April decision that Shepherd’s name would remain on L.J’s birth certificate. The court ruled that she must continue paying child support for L.J., who is being raised by Sally and was born in August 2014 – after the couple broke up.
Now, Sally has filed for a modification of child support because of Shepherd’s increased earnings, according to the court documents.
Sally is requesting the increase in support fees because he believes she now makes $1.8 million more than what the order was based upon. Shepherd currently pays $4,100 per month in child support.
Sally, who works as a substitute teacher for the Los Angeles Unified School District, claims he makes between $140 and $186 per day and that his son “suffers from a genetic disorder known as G6PD,” which requires that his diet be managed and he eat organic foods.
Shepherd’s ex-husband is also requesting that she cover his attorney’s fees and costs in the amount of $75,000.
