Yep, then there's the bad apple's like your friends Ex- who give all single parent fathers a bad rap. Its unfortunate. Hopefully what he doesnt give in money he makes up for in time, if not he is truly an ass-hole!
Cant blame the guys for everything. Its not always one sided. There are some women who have a pattern of going into bad relationships. always complaining that all dudes are jerks. but when you look at who they dated before, its the SAME PERSONALITY. Flip the coin on this one. Vernon is having relationships with bad women. I dont know for sure, but I think women who go after NBA players and are no celebrities or high society themselves are looking out for them. $5000 /month for child support? Is this Master P's kid?
this isn't about the woman. forget the woman. the child's rights to support are independent of the mother in every state in the union. NEWSFLASH: if you have sex, you might have a child. it's not a goldfish. it's a child. you have a responsibility under the law and otherwise.
Well this is a really freaking ignorant and stupid argument.. I'm sure the woman hogtied him, forced him to have sex without protection and then went laughing to the bank.. riiight..
i remember maxwell quitting on the team, but i can't even picture in my mind him playing with clyde. it seems like when we traded for drexler we essentially traded maxwell away as well. did he have any productive games after the trade? maxwell was and always probably will be one of my favorite players. his attitude off the court pretty much speaks for itself though. not a great guy. didn't he throw a dumbell at gary payton or something like that? might not have been his fault though.
Don't you remember? He threw the dumbell at Payton (number one Rocket killer in the day) and missed and took out Horace Grant. See, still a Rocket at heart.
Keep in mind, this woman was not his wife. How do you know she lied about "being on the pill"? Apparently the 16yr old of the 'Baby's Momma' is a pretty good basketball player.
The Court couldn't consider the argument, because it is legally irrelevant. Child support is for the child, and the child cannot be faulted for any actions of the mother. Becker settled when the paternity tests came back positive. Here's an interesting read from a website posting a Playboy article mentioning the Becker case and other cases involving other failed defenses men have raised pertaining to how the mother was impregnated: http://www.shatterdmen.com/Who owns your sperm.htm I'm not saying its right or wrong - again, you can't fault the child. However, if strict liability applies, if you donate to a sperm bank, and it successfully impregnates a recipient, does that make you a dead-beat dad? Just because the records on your donation are kept anonymous or confidential? Consider this: If Monica Lewinsky had been a little more shrewd, she would have used the dress for something other than just a keepsake!
Vernon is more of a humanitarian then the entire UN. He's Nelson Mandela, who looks like Tupac and plays MJ.
