Jeremy Renner‘s custody battle with his ex-wifeSonni Pachecois getting heated.
TheAvengers: Endgamestar, 48, is facing off against Pacheco, 28, over their 6-year-old daughter Ava.
The two actorsquietly married in 2014, which Renner confirmed toCapitol Filemagazine in September of that year.
“I have tried to protect my family’s privacy, my wife’s privacy,” he said at the time while wearing a wedding band. “I don’t need her to get hammered with my life. Privacy issues are important because I want her to go about her day without being bothered.”
Months later, in December, Pacheco filed for divorce and from the get-go, their split was contentious. In court papers filed that month, Pacheco demanded Renner return her passport, which she claimed was stolen, as well as her birth certificate and social security card.
Pachecocited irreconcilable differencesas the reason for their split, and asked for their prenuptial agreement to be voided as she claimed it was based on “fraud.” At the time, Pacheco also asked for physical custody of Ava as well as spousal support.
Renner responded in February 2015 with his own court filing,requesting joint custodyof their daughter. The two eventually agreed to share custody of Ava, with Renner paying $13,000 a month in child support.

In April 2018, Renner’s Marvel salary made him an “extraordinary high-income earner” with an $11.4 million income. As a result, he was to set pay $292,000 as additional child support that year.
In September 2019,Pacheco filed a request for sole legal and physical custodyof Ava with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. She is also asking for monitored visitation when Renner is with their daughter.
“The well-being of his daughter Ava has always been and continues to be the primary focus for Jeremy,” his lawyer said. “This is a matter for the court to decide. It’s important to note the dramatizations made in Sonni’s declaration are a one-sided account made with a specific goal in mind.”
A court hearing is set to be held on Nov. 7, and the couple was also ordered to attend child custody mediation.
