Child support will end once my sister graduates this summer. My mom just told me that an she says she's going to have to start looking for a job.........that pissed me off an that's why child support is ridiculous most of the time.

How can your mother not work if she's getting only $640 a month in child support? Or is that $1280 a month?

Re: Terrell Owens is Broke

Very interesting conversation about athletes and child support here but 100K a year is not why TO's going broke. From what I can tell, he's been going above and beyond for family and friends like the money was never ending. In his defense, it's very possible he had no problem paying the child support and gave even more in other ways. Just saying, we shouldn't tie him to that stereotype just bc he's an athlete with kids out of wedlock. Now lumping him with athletes that didn't manage insane amounts of money is perfectly fine imo.

Nobody is defending it. I'm just arguing that Owens is using this **** as a red herring. His 400k a year in child support isn't the reason he's broke. The guy made 80 mil (45-50 after taxes) (not counting endorsements) and has only been paying this much for 5 years or so. ****, at most he's lost 3-6 million from child support.

Lets break it down to simple math. The average cost of raising a child 230k from birth to 18 (not even counting costs of college) (averages out to about a grand a month). TO's kids if they continue to get the same amount of child support (which they won't) through 18 will get 2.1 mil. Thats 10 times the average cost. Sounds like a lot right?

The average household income in America is 45k. TO's last major contract was 1 yr 6.5 million. TO made over 100% more than the average american family.

Y'all are actually trying to make the argument that TO (who made 100 times more than the average person) should pay the same as the average person? Thats fair to that kid? TO pays $500 bucks a month?

I was thinking that too. I don't know many people who can live off of 15k a year and not work.

Do we actually know who these women are? I'm sure some are hood rats but how do we know these chicks could be upstanding women with careers. ****, I've known a few girls who've dated Owens and they weren't groupies or hood rats. Two of them graduated from two of the top law schools in America and are pretty well off. Mess around 1 or 2 of those chicks are decent upstanding women who just got knocked up. That does happen/

Okay. Basic life necessities. I thought it was implied but I apologize for not being specific enough.

Also, I will state that it is not why he's broke. I just think he should not have to pay for more than the basic needs of the child. If he wants to, good for him. But it isn't the courts place to tell him to.

I know what you are saying we are pretty much agree on child support.

Nor do I. I pretty much stated his ignorance and reliance on others to manage his money is the bigger issue here.

Re: Terrell Owens is Broke

What more does a 2 year old kid who can't even spell their own name need besides food, shelter, clothes and health care? Seriously, that stuff costs nowhere near 120k per year to provide. I know couples who bring in less than a third of that and their kids have plenty of clothes, toys, food to eat and are quite happy and healthy. This child support system is absurd.

These "baby mommas" make me sick. It takes two to tango, you know? Spin it any way you want, but a mature young lady with a decent head on her shoulders doesn't get knocked up "by accident" by these pro athletes. As soon as they meet them all they see is dollar signs and they do their damnedest to cash in any chance they can get. If that wasn't the case then why don't these broads make the men use protection, or take birth control pills, or better yet not even have sex with them at all? It's not like having an abortion isn't an option either (I am NOT trying to start a debate about that, just stating the obvious) but why figuratively rip up the lottery ticket in your body right?

Now, that's not to say that Owens (or any other pro athlete for that matter) is the victim here. He was also an idiot for getting involved with chicks like those and fooling around with them so irresponsibly when he has no intentions of having serious, meaningful relationships with any of them. He needs to be on guard about stuff like that and learn from the past mistakes of guys in similar situations like Shawn Kemp, Travis Henry, etc. etc.

In conclusion, while some of these pro athletes are completely careless when it comes to fooling around with these women, in no way should any of these women be entitled to 2 million dollars just because they had consensual sex with them and happened to become pregnant.
