Damn... who needs $258k a month for child support? That's like more than 3 millions a year. That's just insane!

So she has 2 kids with Blake, and 1 with Leinart.

That's like signing an 18 year, 3m/year contract. Clear winner in free agency (don't know how much she gets from Leinart).

Leinart apparently pays $15k/month. Wow. So for 3 kids, getting $273k a month.

Wouldn't surprise me if BG ends up being another financial cautionary tale for former athletes. His endorsements seem to have dried up over the last few years because of all the injuries and playoff failures.

Nor surprised one of the Kardashian clan is mixed up in this. I am surprised someone else beat them to the money. Some day, someone should do a 30 for 30 documentary on the Kardashian effect on professional sports.

What??

How is he supposed to cover that? Are those things adjustable for when an athlete flops?

The dudes that wind up with those "ladies" deserve everything they have coming to them.

Yes, change of financial circumstances will do that. But that'll be years away when their financial situation has deteriorated.

Would be cheaper just to move some family into his house and fight to keep his kids. Oh well. He’s a piece of (bleep) that thinks being a father is beneath him. Good for Brynn

She mastered the system. Unfortunately, these athletes don't learn. After his career is over, he'll still be paying child support.

Isn't his career already over?

I don’t understand how this works in California. I can’t imagine how a court could order that much in child support. I understand the high income level, but it’s still child support. How does it take $258k per month to support a child? I suspect that there is more to this story than just court-ordered child support.

I read somewhere that this is not true, that it is actually 32k per month.

Looks like you're right.

Even 32k a month for child support is extremely ridiculous.

Shows you how stupid and flawed some celebrities are, Griffin for making bad decisions off the court and maybe thinking he's invincible, and Cameron for being greedy and possibly having an agenda when she hooked up with him.

Money, fame and power is such a double edged sword.

Yeah the initial report wasn't accurate. 32k per month seems more reasonable. Just wondering if she really spends all the money on the kids.

I would just inject that the primary purpose of determining an amount for child support is to protect the child from the economic impact associated with a divorce or separation of parents. Therefore in theory, if the child is use to living a particular lifestyle, and after the separation one parent can continue to provide that lifestyle while the other is unable...the courts will attempt to close that gap in lifestyle as much as possible. So if one parent is earning over $30 Million a year, and the other is earning less than $100K annually.....it is going to take a large number to provide that child a similar lifestyle with the lower income parent. The court is not overly concerned if one parent appears to significantly benefit as long as the child is protected. That is why we see these cases that seem crazy on the surface where a parent learns they are not even the biological parent, but are forced to pay child support.

Half a million a year between Blake and Leinart for child support.

Scary how a working class girl can become a groupie, follow these guys around with the agenda of marrying one and then getting a divorce/making him pay child support.

Hey, it's more realistic for them than winning the lottery!

The primary purpose of child support is providing for the needs of the child. Child support is not permissible to subsidize the lifestyle of the lower income parent. Most states have some sort of cap on the amount of child support that can awarded. The courts usually have flexibility to exceed that amount in rare cases, but child support is not alimony.
