The retired football star won the latest round in his lengthy divorce case when a state appeals court reversed a lower court's awarding of about $18,000 per month in child support to his twin 3-year-old daughters.
A three-judge panel found a lower court didn't adequately review the claims by Strahan's ex-wife, Jean, about their girls' needs.
Among the listed expenses were a 10-day vacation to Jamaica for the girls' nanny and her family, allegedly as a gift from the children, and diamond jewelry given to their grandmother.
Strahan's wife also claimed the toddlers needed $27,000 per year for clothing because she dressed them in a new outfit each time they saw their father.
"Some of the expenses claimed by the defendant clearly should have been deleted by the court," the appeals court concluded.
"Mr Strahan is gratified with the result and feels his legal position has been vindicated," Strahan's lawyer, Angelo Genova, said Tuesday. "He hopes the matter an be resolved amicably going forward in the interests of his children."
The Strahans married in 1999, but went through a bitter public divorce in 2005 and 2006 that included allegations by Jean Strahan that her husband physiclally abused her.
