Former Pro Athlete 'owes $725K in Child Support'

[NavyOneKC]

Texas needs Equal Parenting and do away with the Child Support/Welfare tax free incentive. The state receives a Federal matching contribution for child support they COLLECT which makes it difficult get rid of. I say balance the state budget in some other way then to destroy families.

[GrapeXsoda]

the child support deparment force the men to remove themselfs from the economy ..impossible to have a ex, child and decent job.....

[buddahsmokers8988]

the government is stupid when it comes to child support...they thank a nigga rich so a nigga can afford dat shit...if a lil kid needs 5 stacks a month to live off of he betta be a special ed ridn da skool bus dats short helmet wearing mother fucka cuz i wudnt pay a damn dime an i wudnt of ran to a country like dat i woulda went to mexico an paid da amigos not to tell where i wuz at...lol

[wihargo]

HAHAHA. The guy didn't even make 725,000 in his MLB career.

[POKERPRONJWSOP]

What Kid Needs $5,000 Per Month? There Should Be A Cap On Child Support. So If I Make 5.2 Millione As A Pro Player And Retire But I Get Divorced They Still Use My 5.2 Millione As My Earning Potential??? Crazy World We Live In..Unless The Child Has Severe Special Needs I Think $5,000 Per Month For 2 Children Is Crazy Thats $60,000 Per Year...

[langox510x]

@POKERPRONJWSOP Absolutely. I mean they don't even consider whats best for the child. If anything they should start calling it baby mama support.

[jrmetmoi]

Dead wrong!

[480VIP]

he spent dat paper all ready he broke but at least he didnt give that gold digger any of it.

[Horrowfilmfan]

Next time try St Maarten, they can give a shit less about US laws

[Horrowfilmfan]

What child on the planet needs five thousand a month to live ? Sure lock the guy up, that would solve everything. The childsupport system is real dumb. Lose your job, you can't afford to pay and they want to lock you up, real DUMD SYSTEM!

[linfinster]

@Horrowfilmfan well you can thank the thousands of men and women out there that don't step up to their responsibilities and force the government and anyone else to support those kids. There's a guy who came into our office here in Maine, paid off a $50,000 debt to the government just so he could get the coveted moose hunting license he won in the lottery, or the guy who had his friend cash a $10K lotto ticket & forgot to ask the friend if HE owes child support ... lol. Selfish idiots!

[Skyhighblu]

he should've made sure that passport didn't expire

[One5thOfWhiskey]

Children.. a woman's "choice", but a man's "responsibility".

[linfinster]

@One5thOfWhiskey yeah have some more whiskey to smarten that brain up. The woman also has a responsibility too .. when the child is born and abortion is wrong.

[David913962]

Fucked!

[retrogaming]

Use comdoms next time.

[nationawakening]

Child support is slavery!

[1CJ420]

All the money he spent running off to the Pacific Islands & Austrailia could've been used to pay the doggone child support! Word to the wise: child support, student loans & taxes are three things you can never run away from.

[Xenoocean]

That's some BS. If you have something against your child's bio-parent, that's one thing but don't let the kids suffer because of it. Take care of fucking kids asshole

[pixelella]

blah

[youngturksarmy]

Dump the mainstream media!!! For real and honest news listen to The Young Turks at theyoungturks . com

[philblunt420]

Neel was a scrub hack player and is a douchebag

[linfinster]

My son's father owes me $35,000 ish for 12 yrs, I got zero for the first 6 yrs. He's had a Hummer and Mercedes, a house .. how shameful. I earned my house by working hard, 2 jobs in the winter to pay for heat and necessities of raising a great son! Few regrets, but that money really would have made a big difference! What a loser!

[linfinster]

.. yeah, that's zero awarded for the first 6 yrs and less than 1 yr of actual pymts, then zip and now owes the $35,000. How does he look at himself in the mirror??

[Xenoocean]

By looking in a mirror (DUH)

[guitarobsessed85]

@linfinster You shouldn't look at it as he owes you, but that he owes your children that money. You should only be thinking about that money as theirs and whatever you would spend it on should directly benefit only them. If you got the money you could let's say, set up a college fund by putting them into bonds until they reach college age.

[langox510x]

@guitarobsessed85 But if that was the case then why does the money go directly into the mothers pocket no questions asked? Also, why are their fines that don't go to the child, but to the state? The system is heavily flawed, and doesn't even begin to look for whats the best interest of the child. It's not about a pay check, if anything whats best for my daughter is that I'm there. Forcing me to pay an irresponsible woman who can't even support herself let alone our daughter is not the answer.

[guitarobsessed85]

@langox510x My mother spent the child support she got on drugs. As a result I was malnourished and 40 pounds underweight until I was taken from my mother at the age of 14. Being malnourished caused me to be in poor health for a long while and I fell under my growth curve. I think the money given should be monitored.

[linfinster]

@guitarobsessed85 I appreciate your point of view and agree that support should be for the child when received timely. My son is 23, A Real Estate agent with his own business. That money you say is owed to him will never be paid. I was the one who paid out his fathers portion of expenses when raising him. I would have no problem keeping that money for myself and should my son ever be in need, it will be ME that is there, not his father, unfortunately.

[guitarobsessed85]

@linfinster i agree that since he is now an adult that backpay would be owed to you

[timg455]

A dead beat who was doing pretty damn well for himself.

[MorNin88]

Shoulda Wore A Condom ;)

[Warnomore50]

I live in Texas and send 176 dollars a month to a crack head that abandoned my child at 13. Maybe he had a reason, maybe not.

[68NYC]

Tsk,Tsk,Tsk...

Glad they found him-

Yes...

Chase after these runners.

Kids don't deserve that foolishness!!!!!!!!!!!

[marshal1973]

Cheaper to keeper!!

[Fastgt2003]

Im pretty sure it wouldnt be

[redeyeramblin]

Yeah these guys make millions and it sucks and everyone gets pissed about it, but when put into perspective they are the BEST in the world at their chosen profession. It is a job. The best at almost any profession in the world will probably make similar money. Plus they are away from their family for 9 months out of the year. With that being said this fuck needs to pay up!

[littleoutrage]

Wow. Who runs away from their kids like that? What a jerk.

[cj3022yugioh]

Dang...Who needs 725k to take care of kids?

[CMK144]

i know, goddam

only 2 kids too...

[Gina2NYC]

dang? RU from the south?

[cdltpx]

Who needs millions to play a game? CEO making hundreds of millions while the workers are loosing their homes for medical bills companies use to be rich men made 3 million a year max if they made any more the taxes would make it not worth the greed. Now they want all of it for what all many of these people are is well-educated gamblers.

[ZoomBFX]

Thats what I was thinking haha
