Oliver Pocher and ex-wife Amira argue about child support

Even though Oliver Pocher (46) and Amira Aly (31) are now “officially divorced”, as he confirmed on Instagram a few days ago, he is not leaving previous events and claims uncommented. In the new episode of his Podimo podcast “Die Pochers! Frisch recycled”, which he has with his first ex-wife Alessandra Meyer-Wölden (41), the comedian answers, among other things, that he supposedly doesn't have to pay anything for their children.

“When a divorce is served, it's another emotional moment,” says the 46-year-old. “When you read it in black and white and there's a form there and it's summarised in a very official, sober, factual way that the whole thing is just done.”

Amira said goodbye to Pocher

However, Pocher first talks about the “name talk” – because his ex-wife is no longer called Amira Pocher, at least unofficially, but Amira Aly. In August, she took part in the TV show “Beat the Star” under her new old name and won prize money of 100,000 euros.

“So also technically, the [Name] “Yes, not yet through,” says Pocher now. “She has to go back to the registry office, it has to be recognized first.” But in principle she is still Amira Pocher until the name is registered in the registry office, changed, everything else.” It is a procedure that takes several weeks.

“I have applied to the registry office for a name change. It is not official yet, just a formality. But by appearing as Amira Aly on 'Schlag den Star' I can get used to my new or old name,” she explained to the “Bild” newspaper before the show. In “Liebes Leben”, her own Podimo podcast with her brother Hima, she also explained shortly after the appearance: “I wanted to compete in this show as Amira Aly and win.” She is “really happy to be able to use my name again. It always feels good.”

The issue of child support

“We're playing podcast ping-pong here, which Amira was told, and I sometimes find it difficult when she simply says or claims things that aren't true,” Pocher accuses his ex. He says that she had “three different variations” when the dialogue was about dropping the name. First came the argument that her name was Wolle, like her children, then that she didn't care about the name, and finally that he had offered a double name.

But he didn't notice that at all: “When did we ever discuss a double name?” He, on the other hand, would have liked to take Amira's last name at the time, “because I would have thought Olli Aly was just crazy.”

“Then came the next number where she said I don't pay child support,” Pocher explains at another point. And he continues: “To be honest, that annoyed me too, because that is simply a false statement. First of all, you have to be entitled to child support first. That's just like if I say: 'Yes, I haven't received any citizen's allowance for a year.'”

When asked by her brother about the prize money from the TV show, Aly said in her podcast that she would “definitely find a use for it” because she was “creating a home for my children and me”. The money “definitely goes straight into the house. A good cause for the children.” She had previously told “Bild”: “Since I am currently building a house in Cologne for myself and my two sons and my ex-husband Olli Pocher, contrary to his public claims, is not paying anything for the children, I will keep the 100,000 euros.” And: “He has not paid child support for a year.”

Oliver Pocher and his children

“Then Amira said something about child benefit. […] “Because we have joint custody, we each bear the children's costs ourselves,” says Pocher. And the time with the children is also split 50/50. “In Amira's perception, she has the children 480 days a year and I have them for four hours.” Pocher believes it is a fact “that I not only pay the children's health insurance, but also pay for the kindergarten…” He does not have to explain or justify himself, Meyer-Wölden interjects. “Yes, I have to explain,” Pocher replies. Many people want to make it seem as if he is exaggerating.

“There is no entitlement,” Pocher says, returning to his original thought. So that his ex-wife would no longer take the name, the comedian “gave up a lot of money, just to make that clear.” Aly “got something too,” even if she had earned a lot of money since the two first met. “And then to say: 'I'd like another 500 euros here, 800 euros there, I'd like to have paid something here and so on,'” Pocher finds “difficult.” Because if something were to happen with the children, “then you can always rely on me and I'm always there” – regardless of whether it's about money or emotional things.
