If he doesn't want to pay, then he should have never slept with her.
I agree with you in principle, but in reality, Ted got away CHEAP. I make 52k, ex-wife makes 40k and I pay $910 a month.
Welcome to Amerika, land of the free...
My professor in family law has a cousin who plays for the MN. Twins. He had a child out of wedlock and paid child support for 12 years. He has since married another and landed a major, multi-million dollar contract. When the mama heard about his contract she proceeded to take him back to court to increase the child support payments. Her request was so outlandish that the judge ordered DNA tests since they were never married and the amount was so high. Well, lo and behold...the boy wasn't his.
This gold-diggin' rag managed to destroy a few peoples lives for the sake of the almighty dollar.
The Nuge should've kept it in his pants but ANY woman that gets pregnant these days without being married first, [and even back 10 years ago when this affair took place] is looking for a husband or a bundle of money. Especially when the man is famous.
Do you have children?
Nobody's perfect.
Of course not. What's your point?
What i guess Ted was supposed to be Perfect ?
NOT
It's possible he has some good points. We all make mistakes.
RuhRoh! Too bad he couldn't be faithful to his wife. What is it with rockers?
Tell that to the tramp who was screwing a married man. Once she kicks in her portion of $, the kid will be fine.
You judge a person by the totality of his or her life and not just one mistake.
Real Americans make real mistakes. It looks like Ted did.
There is a story here that has not come out yet and I reserve judgement until I hear the full story from both sides, not just the "celebrity justice" snap shot.
Yes. I have an eight year old son I see only four days a month. The ex cheated, filed for divorce, and hit the jackpot. I pay $910 a month. I continue to fight for custody, but it's throwing money down a rathole. Better than spending it on drugs or cheap booze, though.
Who is more trampy? A single woman sleeping around or a married man cheating on his wife? Why are you defending his actions? Because he says he's patriotic? Please.
Wow. You got robbed big time.
Lets see she had the kid in 85 he didnt get married till 89 to his currant wife.
Whats the big deal if he knew the kid was his then hes a cad but if she with held the kid from him for 10 years like mine was held from me for 17 years that falls on her shoulders not teds
This stuff comes out of the blue sometimes and lands right in your lap
Guess ya'll better be checking that closet i hear skeltons rattlin'
Exactly what are those good points? Do they make up for the fact that he committed adultery and had a child with a woman while he was married to another?
Yup. But it's typical. I work with guys who pay roughly the same percentage. Men (especially fathers) in today's American society are expendable (except for forking over the cash.) Divorce is truly an industry unto itself, complete with lobbyists.
Never mind i misread that completely
