Dover, NH (AHN) - Rocker/hunter Ted Nugent is ordered to pay child support to a woman he had a brief affair with in 1995.
Nugent will $3,500.00 a month to Karen Gutowski, who is the mother of the now 10-year old boy.
According to the Foster's Daily Democrat Newspaper in New Hampshire, Nugent was originally served with papers regarding the lawsuit while playing a show with ZZ Top at the Meadowbrook Amphitheater.
Gutowski will have sole custodial rights to the child, but no visitation rights for Nugent have been ordered as of yet.
Oddly enough, on Nugent's own website, it states the guitarist was named "Father of The Year". He has been married to his wife, Shemane, since 1989. they have four children together.

USA: Bruce Springsteen's new album banned by Starbucks
Because Bruce Springsteen describes an explicit encounter with a prostitute in his song Reno, the US coffee shop chain Starbucks has banned the sale of his new album, 'Devils & Dust'.
Ya know, I jumoed the gun with what i said and I apologize. I just hate it when someone starts questioning if the child support my son gets is fair or what led to my son being without mom and dad together. So, if I came off a bit harsh I'm sorry.
I just aplologized to you and than I see you say I'm guiltly and that is why I'm defensive. I'm not the least bit guilty, thanks! But I think you saying that shows how you assume a women must be at fault unless they prove to you that they aren't.
Not to mention 'malignant.'
Not very 'bee-9.'
It's okay. I understand. This is probably the most emotional issue any parent will ever face. I apologize if I came off with an attitude.
First of all, if you make 50 K then you are paying 11,400 to support your son, which is less than one quarter of your earnings. You would have to support him if he was with you, so why regret supporting him if he is not with you?
The system of child support largely IS against men, but that is because the majority of men who have to be taken to court are deabeats and selfish, irresponsible men who do NOT provide for thier children and have to be forced and compelled by the legal system to do so.
What your wife did to you is unfortunate but providing for your child is the right thing no matter what. The court determines the amount you pay based on both partner incomes, lifestyle, and so forth. Let go and be glad you have a child to support at all.
Truce than. We were both defensive and that gets us nowhere but in a rediculous argument for no reason.
...bringing new meaning to the lyrics, "...when in doubt, I'll whip it out--I got me a rock 'n' roll band...."
Charming little ditty.
I wouldn't expect a blue comment to come from someone with a Freeper name like that.

Thats not true. The vast majority do pay child support. The problem is when courts tell a man he can only see the children he loves every other weekend and then his ex screws with that time. Many "deadbeats" are actually devestated dads. (not all)
The love of their life has asked for a divorce because she wants to move on and she has the home, the kids, his paycheck, and a new man living in the house. He has to support himself on whats left of his check and in the cae of many like construction workers it does not matter that he was laid off when the job was done, Rain days or delays on the jobsite for other reasons are things the black robed little god doesnt want to hear about.
The system is unfair and women get treated better for the most part. Women dont have to pay near as much in support if at all. And last there is as large a percentage of deadbeat moms as there is dads if not larger.

Thank you for posting the first comment on this thread that I can agree with.
I do not think you are right about deadbeat moms. The women are the ones who are stuck with abandoned children, victims of abuse, fathers who run off with their own lives, etc. I think your view is clouded by the pain of your own situation.
As far as the majority of dads paying support, perhaps that is true for the ones that don't have to go to court because they are deadbeats. It is possible to work out an arrangement between the parents, and avoid a detemination by the black-robed god, as you put it. But most cannot agree amicably on an amount, so the god takes over.
It sounds like you have a lot of hurt and bitterness and I only hope in time you can have peace over your situation and accept the things you cannot change. I wish the best for you and your child and a good relationship in the years to come with him/her.
Very well stated, DT.
He was/is as bad as Clinton when it comes to women. Especially young women.
But this was stupid. I would never cheat on Shemane.
LOL I knew would say that. My situation is not like that at all. I think you are the one with the clouded judgement or the bad experiance that you keep telling others they have.
