He's an overpaid ball thrower in the worst sport to ever damage brains across this country. From what I gather of this trash excuse of a sport is that the Pistons are the Buffalo Sabers of basketball.

She has the dirt in Griffen. This is not child support, this is Blackmail that only the FBI can do better.

Suspect her evidence is quite damming and the fact she is still alive means she's powerful within the Satanist Cabal.

Child support is a percentage. His $34 million salary would calculate out to a little over $200,000 for 2 kids per month in California if you assume 50/50 custody (doubtful in his case) and about $260K if you do the normal 20/80. So $250K is within a range. Were it a lot higher I would suspect there were more to it but not in this case.

Now, if you ask me how fucking ridiculous it is to always use percentages we could have another discussion.

It is more ridiculous to use a percentage for a sports star. This isn’t a career they can do until they are 65 so the money is up front. What happens to his child support payment if he retires?

Yeah that seems about right. In theory the U.S. (it varies some state to state but is generally the same) child support is designed so that the child doesn't have a disproportionate lifestyle with one parent as with the other. In practice at some point that becomes ridiculous. In this guy's case the reality is even if sounding like blatant robbery (and in some ways it is) a couple mil per year from his big contract isn't really hurting him. The ones that suffer are the guy who makes a solid but not amazing income, like $75k-100k who has an ex-wife who does nothing. The couple thou a month or so he'll end up paying is a very feel-able step down in lifestyle for him. Meanwhile the ex-wife is incentivized to not seek her own work and change that, since the numbers are based off of difference in income. She could go get a $50k a year job and take responsibility for herself like she should. But where's her motivation? His child support would drop dramatically and she'd give up a plethora of "struggling single mother" benefits. It's all a wash for her even though it hurts him a lot. Terrible system.

The biggest thing is let's say our guy making $100k / yr hates his job. Maybe he took the job cause they were offering more money than anyone else, and he learns after taking it that that's because it sucks. He would like to quit and would happily take less money to work for someone else. He legally can't, at least not without still paying as though he makes the hundy thou. The court is going to say he voluntarily took less money so he's still on the hook for the same rate as the big salary. His life sucks at that job? Too fucking bad.

Even more so, let's say they have an 80-20 share instead of 50-50. She decides to move across the country. She probably can cause she has the 80. He decides he wants to move too so he can still go to little league, know teachers, etc even if he still only has a 20 share. The job he gets following his kids to stay max involved in their lives pays less than his current. He's still potentially liable for "voluntarily" taking less money.

It's all such garbage, and everyone involved is basically exploiting children for money. Sick fucks.

This same thing is why Robin Williams really suicided. He was so broke he couldn't afford a thing, because of ex wives.
