Jeremey Renner's ex wife Sonni Pacheco has accused him of using the coronavirus pandemic to avoid paying child support.

The Avengers actor reportedly asked to lower his $30k a month payments to $11k a month after losing work due to the coronavirus pandemic.

On Tuesday Renner filed paperwork asking for a Los Angeles County judge to reduce child support payments to his ex-wife for their seven-year-old daughter Ava.

The Bourne Legacy and Avengers actor is estimated to be worth $50 million.

Pacheco told the Daily Mail, “It is very disheartening that in a time of global crisis there is yet another attempt to reduce funds I rely on to provide for our child, I think it's time after seven years of hell, I start addressing the lies myself."

“First, I do not receive $30,000 in monthly child support. Second, all of my savings and Ava's savings have been drained due to lawyer fees, as my concerns for Ava's safety have been an ongoing battle for years now” the actress added.

Renner and Pacheco met on the set of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in 2010 and were together from 2011 until 2014.

Pacheco gave birth to their daughter Ava in 2013 and they married in January 2014. They divorced in December of the same year.
