Anthony Anderson ordered to Pay $20,000 a month in spousal support

Anthony Anderson and his ex-wife Alvina Anderson have settled their divorce nearly 19 months after their second split, with the actor ordered to pay more than $200,000 a year in spousal support per their divorce settlement.

In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Anderson, 53, will pay his former spouse a monthly base amount of $20,000. However, should the black-ish actor’s gross income be “in excess of $2,000,000 per year,” he must pay Alvina 20 percent of that gross amount, which would increase her payment to $400,000.

Per the court documents, Anderson will retain their property located in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles and a 2004 Land Rover. Alvina will keep a 2022 Mazda and their home in Houston.

The former couple must also sell and split the proceeds of a cemetery plot located in L.A.’s Inglewood Park Cemetery.

Anderson is also in possession of a Glock 19 firearm that is registered to Alvina, 52, and must be “turned into law enforcement within 30 days,” per the court documents.

The spouses had been married for 22 years before separating in 2022.

Alvina previously filed for divorce in 2015, citing irreconcilable differences. In court documents obtained by PEOPLE at the time, she requested spousal support and listed their date of separation as April 1, 2014.
She filed to dismiss the divorce petition in January 2017, having reconciled their marriage, according to E! News at the time.

Alvina filed for divorce a second time on March 25, 2022, citing the date of their separation as “TBD.” In the filing, she requested spousal support and for Anderson to pay her attorney’s fees.

Anderson responded to Alvina’s request for divorce shortly after, listing their date of separation as Feb. 25, 2022, citing irreconcilable differences.

The documents obtained by PEOPLE at the time stated that the Barbershop alum requested that spousal support be reserved for “future determination.” However, he requested both parties cover the costs of their respective attorney’s fees.

They share two children, daughter Kyra, 27, and son Nathan, 22.

He described how the pair first met in an interview with Parade in December.

“My sophomore year, her freshman year, I knew a girl who lived in the apartment, so I went to knock on the door to invite her to this party that me and my buddies were having,” he said. “My wife answered the door. I was like, ‘I was coming to invite Stacey to this party we’re having.’ Stacey didn’t show up, but my wife did – and we have been together ever since that night. And I was just me: I got there early, she didn’t see nobody else, she was, ‘All right, I’m gonna rock out with this dude!'”

The To Tell the Truth host added, “We got married on our 10-year anniversary. She’s quiet, I’m loud. Opposites attract.”
