How's he supposed to make money to pay his debt if he's in jail?

You don't have to pay child support when you're in jail.

Wish these guys could learn to take care of their money better. An NFL career can end before you know it.

$400k is a lot for even a full time player, much less a retired player.

Don't you think you're being a bit insensitive about this?

I have a friend who has true 50/50 split with her ex and there's no child support either way. Then again she's also a Tenn fan in Alabama so just may be getting screwed by the courts.

Mine is 50/50. Neither of us pay child support.

dang super sad situation. They need to require every Professional athlete to attend some kind of financial management class. Finances can ruin lives no matter the individual.

Most of them will say that rather have it blow it then never have it at all

Sorry not one bit of piddy here. My mom worked two jobs to take care of me and my bro. Men take care of your children. #be a man...

Yeah right, go on and take the bait, then get slammed by all the pansies we got posting on here. I have my popcorn, I'll just watch!

$200k is all the man any woman should need. I bet your mom would've done back flips if someone gave her $200k over a 3 year period.

He knew what the rules were (and likely signed them) but decided not to follow them. Being "not enough" is subjective and not actually relevant to the issue

Didn't she divorce him? Not the other way around?

Soon as he got his last NFL check, she pulled the pin. What happened to "for richer or for poorer"?

The rules are the problem. What kind of nonsense justifies throwing someone in jail for after paying someone $200k?

You don't find that unjust? Was justice served by sending him to jail?

I don't know anything about their divorce or marriage vows since none of that is included in the article. Pretty sure mine did not include that phrase

Already addressed that if you scroll up. However he is in the hook for what was agreed upon in court. If he needs an adjustment he can apply for one with the court. Might want a new lawyer though

Pj, I'm sorry, but there shouldn't be any reason for a man to go to jail because he can't pay an egregious child support/alimony bill. $200k over 3 years is just short of $70k a year. You have families of 4 that live on less than $70k per year.

I don't care if he had Perry Mason or my cousin Vinny as a lawyer, no reason what so ever for this to be happening. And sadly, this goes on daily with regular men making modest wages... just thrown in jail.

But as you said, they knew what they were getting into, so that makes it alright I guess.

My son, pay attention to my wisdom,
turn your ear to my words of insight,
that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.
For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;
but in the end she is bitter as gall,
sharp as a double-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.
She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.
Now then, my sons, listen to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house,
lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity[a] to one who is cruel,
lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.
At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!
I would not obey my teachers
or turn my ear to my instructors.
And I was soon in serious trouble ...
- Proverbs 5

... snap out of it Robert!

Poverty is $24,250 for a family of four; $20,090 for a family of 3.

I have never said he should be in jail. Like I said, scroll up if you're interested but if not just stop assigning things to my posts that aren't there

Plenty of families live on lots more than $70k. The poor little multimillionaire athlete routine is tiring. They get taken advantage of because they're stupid. Happens every single day all across the world. Hell, look what happened in Nov....
