Liam Gallagher is facing a new legal challenge from the mother of his love child, just as the Oasis reunion tour looms large.
Liza Ghorbani, 51, who shares 12-year-old daughter Gemma with the rockstar, has reportedly filed for a significant increase in child support payments.
A source close to Liam claims Ghorbani is asking for a ‘silly amount,’ taking advantage of Liam’s upcoming payday from the Oasis reunion, which is expected to net the singer a cool £50million.
‘It’s clear that Liza and her legal team are hoping to cash in on Liam’s big tour earnings,’ said the insider to the Sun.
‘He’s always been generous with his child maintenance, but now she’s asking for even more money. It’s causing Liam unnecessary stress as he prepares for the tour.’
The new claim, filed in the New York Supreme Court, comes after a confidential settlement was reached back in 2015.
At the time, Liza was receiving £3,000 a month in child support, but it appears she’s now seeking a higher sum.

Liam, 52, and his brother Noel, 57, are set to earn a massive £50million each from their highly anticipated world tour.
However, Liam’s personal life is once again being thrust into the spotlight as he battles the demands of his former fling.
A source said: ‘It’s added pressure on Liam, who’s never even met Gemma. This latest case is just one of the many issues he’s had to deal with when it comes to his personal life.’
The trouble began when Liam, who had a brief affair with Ghorbani in 2010, was forced to confront the paternity of Gemma after she filed a £2million lawsuit for child support in 2013.
Liam was fined for missing court hearings and publicly admitted that he hadn’t met his daughter, although he offered to help her if needed.
The former Oasis frontman has had a tumultuous love life, with children from several relationships.
He shares daughter Molly, 26, with singer Lisa Moorish and son Lennon, 25, with ex-wife Patsy Kensit. He also has son Gene, 23, with ex-wife Nicole Appleton.
Liam is now engaged to his former personal assistant, Debbie Gwyther, 40, and appears to be enjoying a more settled relationship.
Representatives for Liam Gallagher have been approached for comment.

The musician, 52, told fans not to ‘get their knickers in a twist’ in an update to X and said he ‘holds no grudges’ with his brother Noel in a rant.
As he answered questions from his followers, he also confirmed that drummer Alan White will not be joining them for their highly anticipated reunion tour.
Liam previously confirmed that Oasis co-founder Paul Arthurs, who is better known as Bonehead, will, however, join the brothers as part of the lineup.
The band originally consisted of Liam, Noel Gallagher, Bonehead, Paul McGuigan (aka Guigsy) and Tony McCarroll.
Andy was Oasis’ drummer from 1995 to 2004 after Tony left the band, making him the longest-serving drummer. He was replaced by Zak Starkey in 2004.
