Moreover, her monthly income is expected to see a hike of $5,434.65 in “maintenance” payments over the next eight years, pending finalization by Magistrate Katherine Barnes. This surplus financial support hints at a nuanced settlement agreement. In a unique turn of events, as per Radar Online reports, Boebert’s attorney, Annie Le Fleur, turned down an extra $1,833.43 in child support payments for the four children (aged 17 and 10) because her ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, already provides “ample” support. Jayson, an energy consultant, boasts a whopping annual income of $478,000, rejecting any implication of financial strain on Boebert’s part.
The divorce proceedings unraveled seamlessly, with the couple having previously divided all marital debt and property. Despite their nearly 18-year marriage coming to an end, the former partners were observed sharing a passionate kiss after the proceedings, reports the Daily Mail , emphasizing an amicable resolution.

Boebert blindsided Jayson with divorce papers in May, citing “irreconcilable differences” after nearly two decades together. Boebert asserted her commitment to marriage, expressing the difficulty in announcing the separation, considering the privacy deserved by their children. She asserted, “I am grateful for our years of marriage together and for our beautiful children, all of whom deserve privacy and love as we work through this process. I’ve always been faithful in my marriage, and I believe strongly in marriage, which makes this announcement that much more difficult.”
Jayson, in response, took responsibility for the failed marriage, admitting, “Watching the attacks against Lauren, I feel the people should know the truth of our broken marriage and the burden she has carried for too long. I take full responsibility for my actions, and I deeply regret the choices I made that led to the breakdown of our marriage. I was unfaithful to Lauren in so many ways.”
