my bet is he pays that level for a few years at most while he hides his assets. Then he will go back to court and ask for a reduction based on reduced assets/income. |

Child support is a separate issue from alimony.
I don't even like Fisher anymore, but who cares if he's going out with someone else? That's what everyone does after breaking up with someone. You move on to someone else. In principle why should he be charged for it? |
I dont follow Fishes personal life and wont pretend to know all the facts but his divorce didnt seem like it was just a mutual breakup where he then moved on with someone else... it looked like straight abandonment where he dumped his family to go chase younger chicks. That is a jerk move. |
People break up every day with one person being the bad guy. I don't see how one being the scumbag justifies monetary compensation. |

| Alimony is dumb, you don't deserve financial compensation for not being married to someone anymore. |

the monetary compensation is going to happen regardless. It just makes me feel much less sympathy towards Fisher on him having to pay up. |

Never got a good vibe from Fish's wife. She always looked angry. Athletes who get married young and during their early playing days bother me. The women who know the lifestyle and still marry bother me even more.
Fisher probably had tail chasing him nightly. Especially with the Lakers and all the pub. He is not a bad looking guy which adds to it.

Fisher wasn't that young that being said yeah I wouldn't feel that bad for Candace either she's not exactly naive. She was with Marshall Faulk for years have a kid together(which Fisher pretty much raised)
She knows how this all works. |

Its a big reason why a lot of people don't want to get hitched anymore. Why get married when your significant other can take you to the cleaners? |

| Didn't she have possession of frozen embryos? If so, I guess she could have spawned a school of Fish and left him penniless. |

| Do it the Jeter way and you probably won't have an issue. Dude comes off as a classy player who was actually a straight up pimp. Stay single and ball out. |

If one spouse gave up their career to take care of their home, that wouldn't be fair for the other spouse to just stand up and leave them out in the cold. That's what alimony is for, but it does come out a little lopsided in the case of celebrities. |

Oh, I get it. Double entendre. Triangle offense and the triangle of life; two triangles, one of pleasure, one of pain (the offense). I must've been witty that day.

| So did he have his daughter with a previous wife? They only mentioned his two twin sons. Or is she too old to receive child support? |
