The 'Grey's Anatomy' actor believes his ex is simply trying to score more cash from him to add to her spousal support.

AceShowbiz - Actor Jesse Williams has scoffed at his estranged wife's "absurd and greedy" request for more child support.
The "Grey's Anatomy" hunk split from Aryn Drake-Lee in April, 2017 after almost five years of marriage, but their separation has been far from smooth, with the exes clashing over money and custody issues.
Williams was granted joint custody of their daughter Sadie, four, and two-year-old son Maceo in March, but Aryn recently filed court papers seeking a steep increase in her monthly support cheques, insisting she was footing the bill for many of their kids' expenses.
However, Jesse has now hit back at some of the figures listed in her legal documents, insisting the numbers are "wildly inflated," highlighting the $25,000 (£18,800) a month she wants for the children's college savings as an example.
According to paperwork obtained by TMZ.com, he claims future college savings don't fall under the jurisdiction of court officials, because by the time the youngsters begin their higher education, they will be 18 - and he will no longer have to pay for child support.
He goes on to explain they had always agreed their children should lead a "simple life without wasting money on extravagances", and made it clear he is already happy to cover the full costs of their kids' current private school expenses and fees for further tuition if necessary.
Williams believes his ex is simply trying to score more cash from the actor to add to her spousal support, since they were married for less than five years, meaning she would only be entitled to financial help for half of the time of their union.
He concludes his argument by branding her financial demands "absurd and greedy, and in no way related to the children or their needs".
His ex has yet to respond to the accusations.
