Babies momma in the money
Judge orders NBA star to pay $7,000 in monthly child support

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.

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.
