Nine long years after Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy split, the *Real Housewives of New York* star no longer has to pay her ex-husband child support! On Wednesday, a Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Katz ruled that Bethenny could stop paying Jason child support since the former couple’s 11-year-old daughter, Bryn has decided to live primarily with her mom. *“After having been awarded full legal custody of Bryn in 2020, [Bethenny] now has been awarded primary residential custody of Bryn as well,”* Bethenny's rep told [Us Weekly](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/bethenny-frankel-doesnt-have-to-pay-jason-hoppy-child-support/) on Wednesday, December 8. *“She is also no longer required to pay direct child support.”* Bethenny's attorney, Allan Mayefsky, also requested changes to the custody schedule. *“We have to put in a schedule that Bryn can be comfortable with that the court can order so we don’t have these constant fights going on,”* Mayefsky said during the hearing. *“We need to recognize that Ms. Frankel is the primary parent. … She should not be paying child support at this point.”* The reality TV star noted that Bryn is* “a living, breathing thing, and she won’t always go,”* along with the custody schedule adding, *“I want her to see her father. I know how important it is for a child to have a good relationship with both parents.”* As for Jason, he chose not to oppose Bethenny's request to do what was suitable for Bryn. *“This is not a Bryn issue or an issue that Bryn has with me,”* Jason said, noting that Bryan has suffered from anxiety, hyperventilation, and hives due to the public fighting between him and Bethenny.* “Therefore, I’m removing myself of this fight for Bryn and my physical, emotional and mental health. I will not spend the remainder of Bryn’s childhood fighting as we share joint physical custody. Bryn knows I love her, I want her, and I will always be available for our time together.”* ## Thoughts on this all? Are you surprised by this news? Do you think Jason and Bethenny are finally doing what's best for Bryn?
