Jeremy Renner agrees to pay ex-wife Sonni Pacheco $16k in child support for their toddler daughter Ava

Jeremy Renner has agreed to pay his ex-wife more money in child support, after she claimed he had fallen behind with payments. 

The Avengers star has agreed to pay Sonni Pacheco around $16,000 in support for his three-year-old daughter Ava, along with another $24,000 for her lawyer and accountant, according to TMZ

The 45-year-old actor and the Canadian model and actress were married for just ten months before Sonni filed for divorce back in December 2014.

The couple have been through something of an acrimonious split, with Pacheco claiming Renner had fallen behind in support payments. 

According to the website, she has also made several claims against the actor, alleging his house is unsafe for their daughter as Jeremy has a gun collection, with one of the weapons behind a bar while out in the open.

The model also said that the pool needs to be properly fenced off to prevent any accidents.

However, an insider for TMZ refuted the claim, saying the pool was child-protected and all the weapons were locked up while Sonni lived in the home.

Back in July,she claimed the A-list actor owes $48,367 in child support for Ava. Pacheco also claimed that Renner has not been paying half of Ava's preschool tuition, which amounts to $800 a month, according to court documents seen by TMZ.

The Town star had previously agreed to pay Pacheco, a model and actress from Canada, $13,000 a month for their daughter as part of the settlement they made in their split, according to the website.

Pacheco has asked the court to force the Captain America: Civil War star, who shares custody of the child, to pay the back money she claims he owes for both the child support and preschool fees. 

Sonni shared with the court a text message The Bourne Legacy star sent to her questioning why she continued asking him for money.

He wrote to Pacheco, 'I'm not sure why you keep coming after more money here Sonni. I don't have the cash to give you. I'm sorry you can't figure out how to care for [the child] with over 300k.'

The Academy Award-nominated actor, 45, and Pacheco welcomed Ava in March of 2013 and tied the knot 10 months later, in January of 2014. But the marriage would not last long, as Pacheco wound up filing for divorce just 10 months later, in December of 2014.

In addition to the child support and preschool fees, Renner also agreed to fork over 5 percent of whatever he makes in a year past the $2.3 million mark. Renner, who's worth about $35 million, does not have to pay Pacheco spousal support as part of their prenuptial agreement.

Renner last year admitted that the nasty split had taken a toll on his physical and emotional health, telling ABC News, 'I haven't slept more than four hours a night in the past week, my skin’s breaking out. I’ve got dark circles under my eyes. I’m dehydrated. I look like s***.'

The American Hustle actor said in the June 2015 chat with the network, 'I felt pretty insecure walking into a photo shoot this morning, and I was running late because I had just gotten out of my fourth deposition for the divorce.'

Renner, who is more than 20 years older than Pacheco, met the beauty in Vancouver on the set of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. 

In addition to modeling and stand-in work, Pacheco also worked as a Monster Energy Drinks girl at one time.
