On March 24, a judge once again ruled against Jason Sudeikis’ motion to have his custody case with Olivia Wilde moved to New York, per TMZ. Court documents from Wilde’s team made strong claims about the “Hall Pass” actor’s intentions. They claimed that Sudeikis — the wealthier of the former couple — was deliberately dragging out the proceedings. “While Jason can afford to spin his wheels with filing after filing, Olivia cannot,” a lawyer for Wilde wrote, per the Daily Mail. “Jason seems intent on throwing whatever he can against the wall to see what will stick.”
According to Wilde, she was under the impression that the two were working towards an amicable resolution to their custody case, and was stunned to find out that the whole time Sudeikis had filed a case outside California. “[Jason] was plotting to proceed with the New York Child Support proceeding behind my back,” she wrote in court documents, per the Daily Mail. The “Drinking Buddies” actor did not bite her tongue while describing her ex. “[Jason’s] underhandedness and bad faith in these proceedings is astounding.” Wilde added that Sudeikis was employing “intimidation or trickery.”

Only weeks earlier, it appeared the former couple had buried the hatchet as they were spotted hanging out and shared a hug. That was on the heels of Wilde’s break up with Harry Styles. “Now that they’re broken up, it’s been easier for Jason and Olivia to get along,” a source told ET in January. However, that reconciliation wound up being short-lived.
