Clay Aiken isn’t the only one smarting over his failed attempt to become a congressman in North Carolina. RadarOnline.com has learned that the 35-year-old former American Idol contestant’s baby mama, Jaymes Foster, 50, is also deeply disappointed he lost. According to a source, a win would have meant she could have petitioned for a reduction in the $7,500 child support payment she must give Aiken every month.

That’s one high maintenance baby. Most people don’t even gross $7,500.00 a month, that’s $90,000.00 a year. North Carolina is not exactly a high cost of living state. That sort of income would support an entire family pretty well here, mortgage, cars, utilities, insurance, groceries and all. Does Clay Aiken not have any income at all? That’s just usurious.
Knowing that the idiot Woman Voted for Obama TWICE makes me feel warm and fuzzy. LOL
Now, why didn’t the fact that this Idiot Woman is being forced to hand over $90,000 a Year to Aiken come out during his Campaign?
I’m sure it would have cost him a lot more Votes.
A family of 12. Receipts to prove it.
I’d say a family of 12 would take serious management and smart shopping on that income. Doable, but a thin margin of error, lol.
My parents have money.
Ah, a safety net for emergencies. Very helpful.
Well done!
Many, many years ago when I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law and really changed my life
For now my daughter was my mother, ‘cause she was my father’s wife
And to complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad
For if he were my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow’s grownup daughter, who was of course my step-mother
Father’s wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter’s son
My wife is now my mother’s mother and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife, she’s my grandmother too
Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I’m her grandchild
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
‘Cause now I have become the strangest ‘case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa
I’m my own grandpa, I’m my own grandpa
It sounds funny, I know but it really is so
I’m my own grandpa

Wouldn’t she be just a ‘surrogate mother?’ Or was having the child her idea? Seems odd that HE would be raising the child.
hang on..... whut??
That is a lot of child support, does this kid have a drug habit or something?
and she was 50 when she had the baby?
Anyone would get upset if they had to pay an exorbitant amount though
If I have a baby when I’m 50, I’ll remember to (virtually) kick all the nay-sayers in the knee.
Re the child support amount, it’s probably based on Aiken’s and the mother’s incomes at the time the child was born and he took custody. He had a successful career for a short time: he was even (animated) in an episode of “Phineas and Ferb,” which is the only time I’ve ever seen him or heard him.
As I was telling RC above, my whole family lives on less than $7,500/month net.
If she’s the biological mother, she’s the mother, regardless of the details of conception or the arrangements agreed before the parents fell out.
“Wrong and stupid, stupid and wrong,” as I often tell my teenagers.
It is a lot. Half of Americans make less than $30K a year right?
It reduces the anxiety level. My parents have money because of Habits of Economy, and if it was just up to me, we’d be completely secure on the available income ... but when you’ve got two adults in a family, there are variables.
My mother won’t let me spend my old age in the street.
It’s hard to get a real view of actual household disposable income, because the stats are rigged to hide income transfers. Rent subsidies, for example, aren’t considered “income.”
I don’t suppose most of the money is being socked away in a trust for the boy, but it would be the right thing to do.
“A woman was inseminated with Aiken’s semen. She gave birth to their child. Aiken has custody. Because she’s the non-custodial parent, she has to pay child support.”
Any guy who donates semen or a woman who acts as a surrogate should have an iron-clad agreement that they can’t be sued for child support. And even then they’re nuts for doing it.
Courts are knocking down the “iron-clad agreements” as being inimical to the best interest of the child. The only smart (as well as only right) choice is just not to do it.
