Dean McDermott behind on child support & alimony payments, owes Mary Jo $45,000

Rumors have been circulating for months that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are facing major financial issues. Back in September, a source claimed the couple could barely make ends meet and began reaching out to friends for help.

Not only are the money issues affecting their immediate family, a new report claims Dean is behind on alimony owed to his ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace, and on child support for his 17-year-old son Jack. According to Radar Online, Dean hasn’t paid Mary Jo since February. The reason? Simple: he’s broke.

Mary Jo isn’t taking any drastic measures to go after the money. She’s successful and financially stable on her own but believes Dean should be held accountable.

Earlier this year, Tori received 3rd degree burns while out to dinner at Benihana, and she’s suing the restaurant for medical expenses and lost wages as a result of her injuries. Maybe a settlement is just what these two need to get back on their feet.
