Oct. 7 2010, Published 10:46 a.m. ET
Oksana Grigorieva is complaining that she has "no money" and has even had to borrow $24,000 from close friends to help pay off a credit card debt, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
While a Los Angeles judge has ordered Mel Gibson to boost his child support payments to $20,000-a-month from the $5,000 he'd been giving the mother of his illegitimate child, Oksana is still trapped under a mountain of debt -- close to $100,000.

She is more than $40,000 overdrawn on one line of credit, according to a close confidante.
"Oksana has no money," said the source, who is close to the Russian musician.
In addition to Mel's monthly loot, to cover 12-month-old Lucia's round-the-clock security, plus the usual necessities like food and medical care, Oksana receives $2500-a-month from the father of her teenage son, Timothy Dalton, RadarOnline.com has learned.

"But Oksana has very little income," added the source.
"In recent time, her only income has come from a photo syndication deal with an agency that took photos of her and Lucia, after she was born.
"Even then, the payments are in the hundreds - not the thousands."

As RadarOnline.com revealed, Oksana wants to move out of the Sherman Oaks, California, home where she has lived - rent - free since beginning a relationship with the Oscar winning actor and director.
The musician, 40, wants Mel to fork out an additional $15,000-a-month for a new rental.

But we've learned the Lethal Weapon star is only willing to pay $6,000-a-month.
"The discrepancy between the price differences could mean Oksana will ask the judge in their court case to increase the monthly child support so she can move to a new rental house," said the source
