Bam Margera agrees to pay $2,500 monthly in child support
American stunt performer and former Jackass star Bam Margera has agreed to pay $2,500 every month in child support for his eight-year-old son, Phoenix, whom he shares with his estranged wife, Nikki Boyd. The arrangement was confirmed in recently released court documents and is expected to begin on January 1, 2026, with payments continuing as part of their legal settlement. Margera and Boyd reached the figure after a lengthy dispute over child support, with Boyd initially seeking a much higher amount before both parties agreed on the current sum.
According to the court papers, part of the agreement includes Boyd’s commitment to provide and maintain healthcare coverage for Phoenix, while Margera will focus on the monthly financial support component. The child support decision follows years of personal and legal challenges in Margera’s life, including highly publicised struggles with substance abuse and previous legal battles involving custody and support issues. Despite the couple’s turbulent history and prolonged negotiations over the financial support needed for their son, the new agreement represents a structured step toward ensuring ongoing support for Phoenix.
Fans and entertainment observers have reacted to the development with mixed views, acknowledging the importance of financial support for the child while also noting the lengthy nature of the dispute between Margera and his ex-wife. The decision is seen as part of a broader effort to settle outstanding legal matters and provide a stable framework for Phoenix’s upbringing as both parents move forward with their individual lives.
