JMO-Sleeping with someone to get compensated for it (as it appears with this case) is also known as a gold-digger.Was he a big NBA star when he fathered all these babies, or flipping burgers at McD’S? Would these women have given him a second thought HAD he been flipping burgers instead of slam dunking balls? Basketballs,that is. If you don’t want to be a baby momma, don’t mess with a daddy donor. And yes, he should support the kids (IF they are his).But you know the joke about Father’s Day in Prichard,right? Enough said.

After reading a more complete version of this story,I’m left with the impression this woman had already been awarded an $80,000 award from this joker.I believe I would take the money left after deducking the $57,000,if she has already recieved it,and run.With that many kids and mothers after him I imagine his piggy bank is gonna be gone shortly.The reason she was found in fault was because the judge who gave her the judgement failed to sign the award until after he applied for the Bankrupcy.

Also sleeping around and getting compensated for it is called prostitution and has nothing to do with raising a child and asking for the law- which is the issue of this story- to be enforced.  Child support guidelines do not differentiate between married parents and those in relationships whether for one night or 3 years….doesn’t matter.  A childs’ upbringing was made necessary by 2 people- not one.

Wow some people also think that every comment on comments reflects on them…never singled out anyone here- just kinda taken aback by people attacking this womans character for trying to make the father do his part and it gets so twisted….guess thats in ones perception- just amusing.  Suppose some people really take these comments personally and run with their version and it’s no other way.  If you reread and comprehend what I said, then makes perfect sense.  Facts are all that I take from these stories not possible agendas.  This woman was just trying to enforce a child support order and btw, I was married for 8 years and he stopped paying child support when he felt like it and I had to bear the burden of taking money from my children and paying attorneys to return to court over and over just to have him told what he was supposed to do.  It is simple to put a check in the mail- try raising one as a single parent and truly being involved in a childs upbringing…not judging a mother for simply asking for support for a child she didn’t make alone that has needs and maybe find another hobby besides insulting people you don’t know at all and making assumptions as to their motives in life and that every story on here directly effects you personally cause that isn’t reality.  It doesn’t matter how sinister you think a child came in to this world really- at all- what matters is the law is there to protect the child and custodial parent and in this case it was a true travesty.

And I don’t think anyone has said he shouldn’t support the child (if it’s his),he should man up if he can man it out. BUT,if a woman is dumb enough to get herself knocked up without a “ring on it,” (marriage)-then she accepts that risk of going it alone. Sad,but true.

No Jlynnsmom-I think if you would read the comments, she allowed herself to be taken advantage of by HIM.Or she wanted to be. If she was so fascinated by him,then why not step into a permanent commitment?  She could have taken a pill(though that would have taken a month to start effectively working-and who has time for that with one night flings), used a condom, checked her dates-and btw-it is a 5-6 day window of opportunity,2 weeks past the first day-so keep a calendar. It sounds like she wanted to get laid by big pimp daddy player, and got burned when she couldn’t collect. As to my education, I am a highly educated RN,who has seen my fair share of girls wanting to latch on to that man and think getting knocked up is the way to do it. Oh yeah,and I believe in doing the moral things in life. Which is not screwing around. Any more questions?

Hmmm- seems lots of folks on here have strange opinions of justice and equality.  So don’t ya think the mother has been supporting this child?  Yeah I’d bet so and wants some reimbursement.  The law says both are responsible for supporting the child and apparently it wasn’t starved or homeless so looks to me like she is doing her part.  So exactly how did this woman know she would get pregnant at that particular time?  If you do a little research then you will see only a few days per month that that can even happen.  Child support is based on your income and this jerk was making millions yet some commentators on here make it sound like she was taking advantage of him???  K- don’t get that but don’t get most of the off the wall comments anyhow.  Guess it is also education level and common sense to figure life issues out though so feel sorry for those with one track minds.  Oh, by the way- she had one child with him—-he had the several.  Also, no, child support is not absolved in any court- just a stay put on collection of it til the court decides how to divide the assets.  Hope she wins on appeal and if not then files for bankruptcy in Ms Mahoneys’ courtroom.  That works too.    Such a travesty of justice.  Seems also she was bright not to marry this pimp.

rmseek…I understand…..I guess I didnt read your comment right…lol….story of my life…I just re-read your comment…..

Citronellemomma-I hope you understand when I was referring to a “paycheck,” that it was meant about women who ARE NOT married to the baby daddy. It is a different story if you are married,divorce and then are not getting child support.jmo It irks me to no end the women who “sleep around” and then expect to get compensated for it. I think Caring said it pretty well, as to the WOMEN being just as responsible to bringing children into the world out of wedlock. Take a pill, take a shot, or keep your legs closed if you don’t want to take responsibility for your actions. JMHO

And come on-10 kids by 8 different women? Hello???That should be a wake-up to future flings!

I don’t know why it is even referenced in this article about his NBA days.  I do not have a high opinion of anyone who brings children into this world and do not take care of their responsibility as a parent. And the women are just as responsible as the men for all these children that are born out of wedlock or more so.  Our government is going broke trying to feed all the children that are being brought into this world by individuals that are to sorry to take responsiblity for their own doings.
