PARENT'S RIGHTS NOW!

The Philadelphia Inquirer has reported that “Sixers star Andre Iguodala is being sued for child support by a South Jersey woman.” The mother of the child is seeking temporary support of $12,000 to $15,000 a month. Mr. Iguodala’s attorneys have reportedly stated, "We have made all reasonable efforts . . . to resolve this matter without litigation. In spite of those efforts, the demands that were made were beyond what is reasonable." However, the paper provides no information on what Mr. Iguodala’s attorneys consider a "reasonable amount of support" to expect from a man who’s reported income is approximately $1,000,000 a month.

In a related story, The New York Times reports that Dallas Mavericks player Dirk Nowitzki “has filed court papers seeking sole custody of his former girlfriend's unborn child should genetic testing proves he's the father.” There is no word yet on how much Mr. Nowitski may be willing to pay for child support in the event that he proves to be the father and does not obtain custody. Nor is there any report on whether he is willing to pay maternity medical bills for his former fiancée. It is apparent, however, that this multimillionaire would rather let his child’s putative mother sit in jail than pay her dental bills.
