Takecia Fatu Files for Divorce From Jey Uso After 12 Years, Seeking Sole Custody

Q: Will Jey Uso's public romance prevent his ex-wife from receiving alimony under Georgia law?

No. Under Georgia law, Jey Uso’s public romance would not, by itself, block Takecia Fatu from receiving alimony. Georgia’s key rule is that alimony can be barred if the spouse asking for it committed adultery and that adultery caused the separation. Based on the reported facts, the public relationship allegations concern Jey Uso, not Takecia Fatu. If that conduct were proven and it contributed to the breakup, it would generally hurt Jey’s position, not hers. For Takecia’s alimony request, the court would instead focus on the usual factors: her financial need, Jey Uso’s ability to pay, the length of the marriage, and the standard of living during the marriage. A 12-year marriage and her request for support mean the issue is likely to turn on finances and evidence about the marriage, not simply on social media posts. That said, public photos and comments are not automatically enough to decide alimony. In Georgia, adultery allegations typically require proof, and the court would also look at timing and whether the relationship actually caused the marital breakdown. If Jey’s relationship began only after the marriage was already over in practice, that could matter. So, based on the information available, Jey Uso’s public romance does not appear to prevent his ex-wife from seeking or potentially receiving alimony under Georgia law.

Q: How will Georgia's new parenting law impact child support in this WWE superstar divorce?

Georgia’s new law could materially lower or reshape child support in Jey Uso’s divorce, depending on the parenting schedule the court orders. Because the case is in Georgia and the filing came after Jan. 1, 2026, the new child-support rules apply. The biggest change is that parenting time now must be built into the calculation. If Jey Uso is the noncustodial parent but has at least about 90 overnights a year with the younger child, the court must apply a parenting-time adjustment that reduces the base support amount. The more overnights he has, the larger the reduction is likely to be. That matters because Takecia Fatu is seeking sole physical custody of their younger son. If she receives primary custody and Jey has limited overnights, his support obligation would likely stay higher. If he secures substantial parenting time, the new formula could reduce what he pays compared with the old Georgia system, where such adjustments were more discretionary. The law also matters because Georgia expanded its child-support income table up to $40,000 in combined monthly income, which is relevant in a high-earner case involving a WWE star. If their combined income exceeds that level, the judge can still go above the table, but now has a clearer statutory baseline. So the practical issue in this divorce is not just income, but the final custody and overnight schedule. Under Georgia’s new law, those overnights directly affect child support in a way they did not as rigidly before.
