Oksana Grigorieva Files Contempt Charge Against Mel Gibson

The always-surprising Mel Gibson/Oksana Grigorieva saga continues with Grigorieva filing a contempt of court charge against Gibson on Thursday, RadarOnline.com reports.

She claims the movie star has failed to pay the $20,000-a-month in child support he was court-ordered to provide her.

If he is found guilty at a hearing on November 10, he could face jail time or have his wages garnished.

“For three consecutive months, Mel has paid Oksana somewhere between $5000 and $10,000 each month, it varies, but either way, it is well short of what a judge instructed he must deliver the mother of his child,” a source told RadarOnline.com.

Gibson, reportedly worth around $500 million, was ordered by a Los Angeles judge to increase his child support payments from $5,000 to $20,000 a month. But RadarOnline reports that Gibson is refusing to pay the full amount until the judge rules on whether or not he can charge Grigorieva rent for currently staying in the house he owns. He wants to deduct $6,000 a month.

Lisa Bloom, Grigorieva’s attorney, has some sharp words for Gibson. “Mel Gibson, at this point, is a deadbeat dad.”
