Tuesday, April 28, 2026 - A legal dispute has emerged over the estate of late actor Michael Madsen, with Los Angeles County authorities claiming he owed more than $1.2 million in unpaid child support to his ex-wife.
According to court documents, the Los Angeles County Child
Support Services Department alleges that Madsen owed $1,267,573.49 to Jeannine
Bisignano, stemming from obligations tied to their divorce settlement dating
back to 1995. The claim also reportedly includes a share of payments from his
Screen Actors Guild pension.
Madsen, known for roles in films such as “Reservoir Dogs”
and “Kill Bill,” died in July 2025 from cardiac arrest. Since his death, a
dispute has developed over who should manage his estate.
Bisignano is seeking control of the estate in order to
recover the outstanding payments she claims are owed. However, the actor’s
sons, Christian and Max, have filed a petition to take over administration of
the estate themselves.
