Actress Alice Evans Fights for Financial Support Amid Divorce Turmoil
Alice Evans, the British-American actress, is pleading with the Los Angeles Superior Court to order her ex-husband, Ioan Gruffudd, to provide her with child support and spousal support. Evans claims she is on the brink of financial ruin, struggling to put food on the table for their two daughters, while Gruffudd appears to be living a lavish lifestyle, traveling the world and purchasing expensive items.A Desperate Plea for Financial Assistance
Struggling to Make Ends Meet
Alice Evans alleges that she is in a dire financial situation, with very little money coming in each month. She claims to only earn around 0 a month in royalties from her acting projects, and has drained her personal savings to pay for legal fees and other expenses. Evans further states that she is behind on rent and utility payments, and has had to rely on friends to help provide groceries and food for her and her children.Gruffudd's Lavish Lifestyle
In contrast, Evans points to her ex-husband's Instagram posts as evidence of his lavish lifestyle. She claims that Gruffudd has been traveling to various locations, including the UK, Rome, Spain, and Seattle, and has even purchased an expensive engagement ring for his fiancée and new Rolex watches. Evans argues that Gruffudd has the ability to pay spousal support based on his greater earning potential and ongoing lavish lifestyle.Seeking Legal Recourse
Evans has filed court documents requesting that the Los Angeles Superior Court order Gruffudd to pay child support and spousal support. She claims that the premarital agreement she had with Gruffudd is unjust, as it allegedly states she will receive less money from her ex-husband following their divorce than if they didn't have children together. Evans argues that this provision "punishes" her for having children, which she believes goes against the public policy of the State of California that both parents should contribute to the financial support of their children.Custody and Restraining Order Battles
The divorce between Evans and Gruffudd has been tumultuous, with Evans filing for sole custody of their two daughters in February 2022. Gruffudd has accused Evans of trying to paint him as the bad guy to their daughters and the public, claiming that she has threatened to tell people he abused her and their daughters, and threatened to call the police on him if he didn't comply with her demands. In June 2023, the couple's oldest daughter filed a restraining order against her father, accusing his fiancée of "slamming a door on her head."Seeking Financial Assistance and a Comeback
Evans claims that Gruffudd's public accusations have made it difficult for her to find acting roles that require her to travel for long periods of time, as many acting roles do. However, she is making efforts to get back into the industry, including booking paid fan conventions for various roles she has played in the past. Evans is hopeful that with hard work and the right opportunity, she can start financially supporting her children. In the meantime, she plans to seek government assistance, including applying for food stamps and welfare.
