In 2013, Smith’s ex-husband petitioned the court to lower this amount because he could not keep up with the payments as he was catering for his increasing health expenditures after being injured while performing stunts on-camera.

The allegation made Fraser provide evidence of his medical expenses to the court. He provided evidence of his vocal cord surgery, laminectomy, and knee replacement surgery, and the court lowered Brendan Fraser alimony costs.
