Lena Headey's ex 'demands Game Of Thrones star pay legal fees' amid custody row over son
GAMES OF THRONES' Lena Headey has reportedly been requested to pay all legal fees by her former husband during the custody dispute over their son.
The actress and Peter Loughran ended their six-year marriage back in 2013, however they soon became embroiled in a legal row after she relocated to the UK with their little boy, Wylie, six.
The 43-year-old, who is also mother to 17-month-old daughter Teddy, was said to have violated their original custody agreement by enrolling him into school in Britain without seeking his permission - with a judge ruling in his favour in October.
According to a document obtained by TMZ, Peter is believed to be asking Lena pay $40,000 (£31,510) in fees as he is unemployed.
The TV star currently plays Cersei Lannister in the hit HBO show, in which she is said to earn more than $1 million (£790,000) an episode, the website goes onto state.
I don't play Cersei Lannister as a villain, I just play a woman who is a survivor!
Two months ago, a Los Angeles family court told Lena to return Wylie to the US after the next period of filming finishes on Game of Thrones early next year.
TMZ went on to say that Peter is allowed to visit their child for 10 days every month, and she must pay any travel expenses incurred.
The court is yet to rule on his new demands.

The reports come after Lena teased details about Cersei's future, after she was last seen ascending to the Iron Throne.
Speaking about her character, she insisted she simply does what needs to be done in order to survive and protect those she loves.
Lena explained to Mashable: "I don't play her as a villain. I don't set out to do that consciously, I just play a woman who is a survivor and will do exactly what a man would do – which is, you know, murder somebody when you're in a war. Maybe just not directly."
Game of Thrones is set to return in 2017.
