In recent court filings, Hill claims his estranged wife is using visits with their daughter to bring up reconciliation and push for financial support. He says those conversations are adding tension to an already difficult situation.

The legal battle between the two has shown little sign of slowing down. Hill is asking the court to change who supervises his time with their child, arguing the current setup is distracting and uncomfortable.

Claims About Parenting Time Began Surfacing As The Split Turned More Contentious

Hill alleges that during scheduled visits with his daughter, Vaccaro repeatedly tries to reopen conversations about getting back together, according to filings first reported by TMZ. According to his filing, she is attempting to “reconcile with the husband” and has also made “requests for additional money,” as outlined by Hill’s attorney, Gary Frederick Jr.

“The wife’s incessant efforts to discuss the foregoing topics during timesharing not only places the husband in an uncomfortable position but more importantly significantly interferes with the husband’s quality timesharing with the parties (sic) daughter,” the filing states.

Hill argues that these interactions shift the focus away from parenting and make it harder for him to have meaningful, uninterrupted time with his daughter, turning routine visits into tense and emotional moments. Because of this, he has asked the court to allow his grandmother to oversee timesharing, saying the change would ease personal pressure and create a calmer, more neutral environment for visits.

The divorce followed an incident at their Miami-area home that involved law enforcement, though no charges were filed. Financially, the split is significant. According to the Daily Mail, Hill’s 17-month marriage is expected to come at a steep cost, with payments between $20,000 and $50,000 per month in temporary support, along with a one-time $500,000 payment.

Both sides continue to dispute the claims, with Hill’s legal team citing disrupted parenting time and Vaccaro’s representatives denying the accusations and emphasizing her focus on their daughter’s well-being.

As the divorce has dragged on, Vaccaro’s legal team has strongly pushed back against Hill’s latest filing. Her attorney, Evan R. Marks, dismissed Hill’s claims outright, saying, “The lies in his latest filing, like those in his prior filings, are simply untrue.”

Marks told TMZ Sports that Vaccaro has no interest in reconciling with Hill. “Ms. Vaccaro has no desire to reconcile with Mr. Hill, a man whom she has alleged in eight separate tort counts has caused her physical and emotional injury in an effort to coerce her to sign a blatantly unfair post-nuptial agreement without the benefit of counsel,” he said.

According to her legal team, Vaccaro has tried to keep things civil despite the accusations flying back and forth. Marks added that she has worked to maintain a cordial relationship with the father of her child and has focused on keeping their daughter safe throughout the proceedings.

The statement also addressed the broader legal picture still unfolding. “Currently, Ms. Vaccaro has cooperated with the separate NFL investigation and is awaiting a court ruling from Judge Multack on her motion for temporary spousal support and child support,” Marks said.

Looking ahead, the case is far from resolved. Marks noted that a jury will eventually be empaneled to determine potential monetary damages, stating it will decide what Vaccaro is entitled to “as a result of Mr. Hill’s violent acts.” As the legal process continues, the dispute shows no signs of cooling off anytime soon.

For now, the court will be left to sort through two sharply different versions of the same marriage. With parenting time, finances, and serious allegations all in play, the outcome will likely have lasting implications not just for Hill and Vaccaro, but for how their daughter’s future is shaped amid an increasingly public legal fight.
