Mustard has responded to his ex-wife Chanel Thierry, who demanded the producer pay her over $80,000 a month in child support and accused him of having no relationship with his children.
Thierry filed an order to a California judge last week on issues of child support, custody, spousal support, attorney’s fees, and even an order based on a lack of communication between the former spouses.

Thierry’s order in part demanded $82,628 a month in child support, which she claimed was totally reasonable pending a “forensic evaluation” of Mustard’s finances,” which her attorneys said they’ve already reviewed and saw was over $10 million.
Thierry’s sworn declaration notes that Mustard “is a successful American Record Producer who makes an extraordinarily high living wage” and “has more than enough income to pay for both his and my attorney fees.”
Mustard rebutted with a court filing of his own on Thursday (January 26), and vehemently denied his ex-wife’s claim that he’s been stiffing her out of money.
“Chanel’s claim that I have starved her out financially since separation is a flat-out lie,” Mustard’s filing read, which was obtained by Radar Online.

The producer’s latest filing seeks joint legal and physical custody of their children and demands equal rights in regard to making important decisions related to their education or health.
Thierry’s filing had asked for “tie-breaking authority” in regard to decisions pertaining to the “health and education” of their children, claiming it has become “increasingly difficult to co-parent with Mustard as he does not communicate or answer text messages.”

Mustard’s rebuttal also states that he’s willing to pay the previously agreed-upon child support figure of $18,242 a month, and said he has been incredibly generous with his finances since the former spouses divorced last May.
“From the time Chanel and I separated in May 2022, I continued to uphold my obligation to support her and the children,” Mustard’s filing read. “I continued to pay all of Chanel’s living expenses, including all of her credit card bills. I also continued paying Chanel’s housing costs and the children’s expenses including private school tuition.”
He continued by saying he has paid over $2,000 a month for Chanel’s Lamborghini SUV. “Finally, I have also paid 100 percent of our agreed-upon spousal support buy-out of $315,000 in accordance with the terms of the Premarital Agreement,” Mustard continued.
The Grammy-award-winning producer also criticized Thierry for “holding him out to the public in a false and defamatory light,” and attacking him on social media.

The legal filing comes after Thierry blasted Mustard for not contributing any child support, taking to social media in November to call the multi-platinum producer out for failing to uphold his obligations to their children.
“These men be so bitter after they leave. How u mad at me for stepping after you left me,” Thierry wrote on Instagram at the time. “Not paying me child support or alimony to purposefully spite me. After I already signed a prenup. Talk about want me to leave with notninggggg sheesh it’s giving bitter af.

She added: “At least share the family car, forcing me to drive me Lambo with 3 kids is wild. Won’t keep quiet for your comfort honey. You know me!”
In a follow-up Instagram Story, Thierry wrote: “IDC HOW MUCH MONEY A N-GGA GOT. I WON’T STAY WHERE THE HELL I’M NOT WANTED. MY LEGS MOVE FOR THE BAG, NOT A N-GGA. PERIOD.”
Mustard (real name Dijon McFarlane) filed for divorce in May 2022, citing irreconcilable differences. Court documents at the time showed he and Chanel Thierry had signed a prenuptial agreement prior to their 2020 wedding.
Mustard most recently filed a request for a status judgment, which allows him and his ex to have single marital status.

He requested to push the issues involving their children to a later date, and in another filing asked the court to “reserve jurisdiction over all other subject matter issues of the marriage, including but not limited to, child custody and visitation, child support” and “spousal support,” among other matters.
The pair are due in court on February 1.
