Lamar Odom says he shouldn’t have to pay child support anymore because all his kids are over the age of 18.
He might have had a case, but he didn’t show up in court, so the judge had no sympathy for him.
A Manhattan judge on Tuesday ripped Lamar Odom for failing to pony up on child support payments — after participating in a celebrity boxing match that his ex claims netted him a $40,000 paycheck.
“If Mr. Odom is in good enough shape to participate in a boxing match, he’s certainly in good enough shape to abide by his obligations to support his children as set forth in the settlement agreement,” Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Matthew Cooper said during a video hearing — which the former Los Angeles Laker did not attend.
Morales’ lawyer, Abraham Borenstein, told the judge that Odom hasn’t been paying child support and he owes her over $91,000 through July.
Since Odom didn’t appear in court to defend against the claims, the judge granted a default judgement against him for all the money Morales says she’s owed including for attorney fees.
“If Mr. Odom received money from his celebrity match, I’m sure you’d want to get a judgement so you can take action as soon as possible,” Cooper said encouraging Borenstein to file a judgment for him to sign as quickly as possible.
According to Morales, Odom was only paid $40k for his celebrity boxing match (which he won by the way).
She wants it all though.
