Financial issues and divorce settlement
Over the years, Dave has spoken about the financial nightmare that resulted from his first divorce. Foley was married to humor columnist Tabatha Southey from 1991 to 1997. They have two children together, Edmund (born 1991) and Basil (born 1995). When they broke up, Dave was at the top of his career, earning about $1 million a year. During their separation and divorce, his income dropped dramatically, mainly because “NewsRadio” had been canceled. Subsequently, Foley was unable to secure another steady network TV job for the next decade.
Despite his income dropping by 90%, a Canadian judge ruled that Dave was still required to maintain his children and ex-wife at the previous level they were used to.

For Dave, $10,700 was about four times what he earned. each month at that time. To make matters worse, in order to have that monthly amount after taxes and fees, Foley technically had to make about $40,000 a month.
