Jodie Sweetin’s ex-husband Morty Coyle fights in court against reducing his $2,800 monthly child support he receives from Fuller House star
Jodie Sweetin’s ex-husband Morty Coyle is tangling with the actress in court over his child support payments.
Coyle, 52, responded after the 39-year-old actress filed with the court to reduce the payments she makes to him for their daughter, Beatrix, 10, TMZ reported after reviewing the legal docs.
The Fuller House star requested the reduction citing a downturn in income between the coronavirus shutdown and the cancellation of the Netflix show.

Coyle told the court that Sweetin continued to make an income of at least $200,000 in 2020 while maintaining steady work with acting gigs and on the celeb message service Cameo.
Coyle refuted Sweetin’s claim that she didn’t believe she has ‘foreseeable work’ moving forward, as she’s working on a TV series in New York currently, according to the outlet.
Coyle, who said he’s been taking care of Beatrix while Sweetin is filming on location, said he’s been massively impacted by the shutdown due to his career as a DJ, and that he is currently on unemployment.
Sweetin in 2017 was ordered by the court to pay $2,800 monthly to care for Beatrix amid the finalization of their split, according to the outlet.
