Babies momma in the money


Judge orders NBA star to pay $7,000 in monthly child support

Associated Press

SAGINAW, Mich. - A judge on Thursday ordered NBA star Jason Richardson to pay $7,000 in monthly child support for his 5-year-old daughter. The girl's mother had sought an increase from $4,000 to $45,426 a month.

Judge Patrick J. McGraw of Saginaw County Circuit Court's Family Division also ordered the four-year veteran of the Golden State Warriors to place $1,000 per month in a conservatorship account until the girl turns 18 or graduates from high school.

Richardson, 24, also must place $100,000 in a trust for his daughter at the beginning of each contract year, continuing to the end of the Saginaw native's six-year NBA contract. The money will be available to the girl when she turns 18 to a maximum age of 30.

Richardson's former girlfriend, Roshonda Jacqmain of Saginaw, requested the elevenfold increase in tax-free support last week. Her attorney, Brian Makaric of Saginaw Township, said Thursday evening that he had not seen McGraw's order and could not comment.

"We are very pleased with the judge's opinion," Richardson's lawyer, Bloomfield Hills attorney Richard S. Victor, told The Saginaw News. "The judge followed the law, and he protected the child. That's all Mr. Richardson wanted."

McGraw originally ordered Richardson to pay $8 in weekly support for his daughter in 2000, when he was enrolled at Michigan State University. The judge raised the payment to $2,000 a month in August 2001, shortly after the Warriors took Richardson in the first round of the NBA draft with the fifth overall pick, and later set it at $4,000 plus a $1,000 monthly payment to a conservatorship.

"This child's well being and future should be the No. 1 priority for each parent," McGraw wrote, "and both parents should realize that they are blessed to have a child who can be provided for without hardship."

Richardson, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard, tied for 16th in the NBA in scoring last season, averaging 21.7 points per game.


End of Article.

Lets do the math here. He was paying her $4,000 a month before. Lets say he had to pay that till she was 18 (age he will stop paying)-5 (age she is now)=13 (years he will be paying). 13 *12 (months in a year) * 4000 = 624,000 bucks he would had paid in child support to the daughter *cough* babies mommas leather couches and jacuzzis *cough* *cough*.

What th babies momma WANTED was...45,000 a MONTH. ok more math. using the same formula

18-5 = 13 * 12 * 45000 = OVER 7 million bucks. 7 MILLION dollars the babies momma wanted.

MIND, this money is suppose to be FOR THE KID, not the momma.

Alright, well lets see what she is getting instead.

18-5=13*12*7000 = 1,092,000 million bucks instead. For the baby right?

Ahhh theres more. The kid is also getting 1000 bucks a month, essentiall into a savings account. 1000 * 13*12 = $156,000.

Add that to the 100,000 he has to pay each year into a seperate account until his contract with the warriors expires (it's a 6 year contract). 100,000 * 6 = 600,000.

1,092,000 + 156,000 + 600,000 = $1,848,000 dollars that his *kid* is getting and that the mommy cannot *touch*.

Aren't we all wishing mommy got knocked up by an NBA star instead? Hell, I would be a lot taller than I am now!

Atleast this guy isn't Shawn Kemp.

[TristanDSP]

WTF is Shawn Kemp when you need him?

LMAO @ Unfaithful porn clips...that was PORN?

Umm, when child support is set, it is set for the person's salary at the time. Since he will not make that amount of money for the rest of the baby's life (or even until it is 18), then it will be reduced again (possibly even to 0) when he retires or is injured. This way, the baby will have enough to live a lifestyle similar to his until her 18th birthday. What is wrong with that? At one time, he was paying $8 a month. Was that fair? Of course, because he had little to no income. Now that he has huge income, he has a responsibility to pay a portion of it to his daughter. Wouldn't you want your child to live according to the same standard of living that you are? And ensure that they can college? And make sure they are taken care of for life is something happens to you?

If I won the lottery, I sure wouldn't leave my kids in my lil 3 bedroom ranch and move into a multimillion dollar mansion without them. They would live the lifestyle I do.

What is wrong with that?

[valkyrie]

Agreed, AGDee. And you know, he's a big boy who was fully capable of keeping it in his pants or using birth control.

The fundamental flaw in this motif is that only the child is entitled to any sort of monetary share of the father's wealth, and the father is only required to care for the CHILD in a manner commensurate with his earnings capability.

The child is, obviously, under the care of the mother, meaning the mother is in control of the cash flow. This leads to a situation where the father may or may not be funding a lifestyle not for the child, but for the mother.

It is child support, not alimony.

Yeah seriously, what's wrong with having a child with someone with inflated earnings potential, then reaping the benefit to the tune of . . . $45k/month?

I see no problems with comparisons between children and lottery tickets.

[RedVelvet]

Let the wealthy dad file for and gain custody of the child. Then he can control how his money is spent.

[BobbyTheDon]

ok well since I obviously can't get knocked up by an NBA player, here is my plan.

Lisa Leslie is my target (or insert highest paid WNBA player).

I knock HER up. She has our kid. Our kid grows up to be 3 feet taller than me, because really now its not that hard to be 3 feet taller than me.

Ok, so then obviously things don't work out with us and since she is so busy I take custody of the kid.

Now SHE is paying OUR kid 50,000 g's a month. Oh yeah, I don't have a job because I just went back to "school". Yeah...thats what I'll call it. School...

Meanwhile I now drive a Benz, I got dubs, I bought Ireland and my kid is taller than me. And my Posse which includes Kig RC, Rudey, KSigKid, ShaedyKD, and HottyToddy are all smokin cigars because we are G's like that.

While SUgar and Spice boozes it up with OTW because they are boozers like that.

While we watch Valkyrie do the Super bowl shuffle.

Who wants to help me?

[AGDee]

I should add, having experience with the Friend of the Court in Michigan that they use a formula to determine the support and I don't know of any cases where they vary from that formula. That's why she only got $7000 instead of the $45K that she requested. The formula is strictly based on income and the number of days each year that you have custody of the child. If you have an extremely high income, then the child support will be extremely high. If you have a low income, then it will be very low. If he takes full custody (and surely he could afford an expensive lawyer who could get it for him), he doesn't have to pay a dime.

My bringing up the lottery was because that's the only way I'd ever make a large amount of money. Since my ex-husband and I have 50-50 joint custody, I would have to give him a huge chunk of my lottery earnings too. He then would also live the same lifestyle that I do, so that the kids are always living the same lifestyle.

You help produce a child, you are responsible for said child.

Works for me- we can roll like that.

If he was forced to pay the $45,000 a month or whatever, can he request a detailed summary of how that money was being used? I mean, I know children are expensive, but to the tune of $45,000? I'd want to know that the money was being spent on the child, and not the mother.

I'm also wondering what his involvement in the child's life is. Does he have any, or is he simply paying the child support?

[BobbyTheDon]

Well according to HIM, he is a pretty big part of her life when he isn't playing bball. He pays for most of her clothes (which supposedly she is decked out), takes her theme parks during the summer, buys her expensive toys. I'm not sure what else a 5 year old needs. Maybe instead of getting her micomachines, he got her POW POW POWER WHEELS.

ofcourse with Dubs homie. You know we DO IT. Shiet.

Daddy thinks he paying too much... shut up rich boy!



Child support bid tops $45K
Thursday, August 04, 2005

THE SAGINAW NEWS

Pro basketball player Jason Richardson is claiming that the new child support request his former girlfriend is lobbing at him is out of bounds.

Way out of bounds.

Roshonda Jacqmain of Saginaw is seeking monthly support payments of $45,426 -- a 10-fold increase over what she now receives for their 5-year-old daughter, Jaela T. Jacqmain.


Richardson, a Saginaw native and guard/forward for the Oakland-based Golden State Warriors, was in Saginaw County Probate Court this week to fight the request.

"It's totally outrageous," said Richard S. Victor, Richardson's Bloomfield Hills-based attorney. "What is she going to do with the money? Jason Richardson is taking care of the child's needs and then some.

"A mother should not be taking advantage of the fact that she has a child ... and make money from it."

Brian S. Makaric, Roshonda Jacqmain's Saginaw Township-based attorney, strongly denied any inference that his client is seeking too much money.

"They were boyfriend and girlfriend for five years. It hurts her," Makaric said of the inference. "They still have a relationship to the extent that they share a child together and they interact on a continual basis."

Serving as referee is Judge Patrick J. McGraw. He said he may issue a ruling in the case as early as next week.

The News was unable to reach Richardson or Jacqmain for comment.

Makaric said Jacqmain simply wants McGraw to follow a state formula in allocating child support; Makaric said it calls for $45,426 monthly payments.

The recent child support request was prompted partly by Richardson's signing of a six-year contract with his team, boosting his salary next season to $8.9 million, court records say.

That salary rises annually to $14.4 million in 2010, records indicate. Citing the increase, Jacqmain is seeking $73,048 in monthly child support payments that year.

"I'm not saying the child needs to ride in a luxury automobile or live in a (luxurious) home," Makaric said. "But the child should have advantages similar to a wealthy parent."

Victor, however, argues that state child support laws are designed only to meet the financial needs of the children. He said Richardson's monthly payment of $4,000 now provides for Jaela's living expenses, which are no more than $3,400 per month.

In addition, Richardson, 24, pays a court-ordered monthly amount of $1,000, which is set aside in a conservatorship for the child.

Victor said Richardson bestows many gifts on his child beyond the support payments, including furniture and, some months, $2,000 in clothing.

Victor said Richardson spends the summer and holidays with her, taking her to Disneyland and other places.

"This is a hands-on dad who takes her shopping for her school supplies," Victor said. "This is an actively involved dad who has not skirted his responsibility."

Jacqmain has disputed the amount of clothing bought for her child. Her attorney says Richardson sees his daughter periodically through the year when he is not playing but does not spend the whole summer with her.

Victor said that state case laws support his argument that the child's needs -- not a rigid child support formula -- set the standard for support in high-income cases.

But Makaric argues that Michigan judges routinely use the state formula to establish relatively high child support payments in high-income cases.

Jacqmain now resides in a "modest" home in Saginaw with her daughter and is unemployed, Makaric said. She is a year from finishing a bachelor's degree at Davenport University with a focus on health information technology.

Jaela will attend St. Stephen Elementary School in Saginaw in the fall, court records say.

"It would put them on more of a level where there is not a disparity," Makaric said. "It's not a healthy environment for the child to live in -- to live one way with Dad and to live in a different economic-social environment with Mom."

Even though Jacqmain is seeking a higher payment now, Makaric said, her life has vastly improved only in recent years.

"She lived in a women's homeless shelter for almost two years, raising the child on her own while (Richardson) was still in college," Makaric said. "The child took her first steps in a homeless shelter. (Jacqmain) is now managing to get by."

In 2000, McGraw ordered Richardson to pay $8 a week in child support for his daughter, and a year later, he signed a contract with the Golden State Warriors, starting with an annual salary of $2.4 million.

In August 2001, McGraw increased the support payment to $2,000 monthly, and later set it at $4,000, plus the $1,000 monthly payment to a conservatorship, court records say. v

For $45,000 a month, maybe a Power Wheels Escalade, complete with DVD player, navigation and a great sound system? She'll be the most popular kid on the block.

Maybe she should get a JOB. They're out there- I promise.

I don't know anything about the formula for calculating child support- but to me, saying that you NEED more thant $45,000 a month to raise your child screams exploitation.

No matter how much money he makes, it sounds to me like she is trying to keep herself in a "comfortable" lifestyle. Not just her daughter.

[valkyrie]

But isn't it better for the child to have a stay at home mom who is there to take care of her?

I don't even believe that, but I can't understand why mom should live in a modest house and be expected to work (while she's in school, mind you) while dad is making tons of money.

Right now she's getting $4,000 a month, right? That's not so out of line. She may ASK for more than $45,000, but that doesn't mean she's ever going to get it. People often seek more than is realistic in court.

Anyway, why is everyone slamming her for looking for more money but nobody is slamming him for paying $8 a week earlier? Why didn't he get a job then?

I just don't understand why if a parent is stupid rich, his or her kid shouldn't be stupid rich too. So the mom will benefit from that as well. Who cares. If your dad is a millionaire baller, you should get the benefit of that. If he didn't want to have the kid, he could've kept it in his pants back in the day.
