Sarah Trigger Tried To Increase The Child Support Payments After She Was Apparently Struggling To Get By
It turned out to be a messy separation between Jon Cryer and Sarah Trigger. Things took another turn during their divorce settlement after Trigger requested increased child support payments. According to her attorney Vicky Green, Trigger was hardly getting by with her $8,000 payments.
“The court determined that it was not in their son, Charley’s best interest to take his mother’s child support down to $0,” Ms Green said.
Another sources added, “Sarah is already up to her eyeballs in debt and is terrified that she is going to end up homeless. She is fully aware that it will be very difficult to win custody of her son back if she is homeless, something that I’m sure that Jon is more than aware of too."

Trigger took things to court, asking for an outrageous amount per month, going from $8,000 per month, to $88,000. According to TMZ, this was request was shot down in court instantly.
"She justified her bid by claiming her custody share had increased from 4% of the time to 50% of the time ... so she deserved more money ... especially because Cryer's making a killing on "Two and a Half Men" (she claims $2 mil a month)." Ultimately, the court didn't feel the same way. Just prior to this request, things had taken a disturbing turn and one that could have endangered Cryer's life.

Jon Cryer Was Able To Find Love Again Alongside His Current Wife, Lisa Joyner
Just three years after the divorce was finalized, Jon Cryer married again, tying the knot with Lisa Joyner. The two got married overseas in Mexico, and would adopt a child as well. In the recent years, it seems like the two are still closer than ever more than a decade later, show public displays of affection, with various photos of the two going viral.
Joyner has posted various photos of Cryer and herself to social media. She even once joked about Cryer losing his wedding band, and how the experience ultimately just brought them closer together.
"Chris (from The Ring Finders) you not only found a ring. You may have saved a marriage. That ring meant so much. It has so many memories behind it. Now Jon go get it resized!"
She continues, "I was sad. I was sad but I didn't want to make him feel any worse because I knew how bad he felt."
That's right, the ring that was lost in a Vancouver ocean was found with the use of a metal detector by Chris Tuner from The Ring Finders. Cryer must've been relieved when the ring was found but in truth, this type of problem was much more tame compared to what he faced in his past relationship...
