Zachery Ty Bryan's Ankle Monitor Payments Reduced to $20-Per-Day After Crying Financial Hardship
Zachery Ty Bryan's plea to waive his ankle monitor fee worked — well, sort of. The embattled Home Improvement alum will still have to pay for the tracking device but at a lower price after telling the judge he can't afford to make the $50 daily payments. Bryan's ankle monitor fee has been "reduced to $20 per day," legal documents obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal.
A circuit court judge in Oregon made the decision on Friday.
The troubled actor was required to wear the ankle bracelet after being released from jail earlier this month following his arrest in July. As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, Bryan argued he couldn't shell out the court-ordered $50 per day because his "current monthly expenses absorb most of his income."
According to Bryan, 41, his net income last year was $40,775.
While the filing revealed he "has savings," his attorney explained that Bryan "is financially obligated to support his children who are the following: Two (2) 9-year olds, a 7-year old and 4-year old from his first marriage, and 1 1/2-year-old twin girls and a 3-month old from his relationship with the alleged victim."
He said his child support payments aren't the only expenses allegedly breaking the bank.
"Mr. Bryan is also paying the rent for the alleged victim $3,750.00 per month and $840.00 for the family," the legal filing stated, adding that "paying the electronic surveillance fees while supporting his children causes Mr. Bryan a great financial hardship."
