Per reports, Yao's lawyers have accused Beasley of giving only $800 for the care of their son, despite making $15 million. “Montana was a successful model before she met Mr. Beasley, but gave it up to focus on starting a family with him. She and her son are now forced to stay with relatives until she can restart her career," her lawyers claimed.
