Chris Bosh and Allison Matthis
*Earlier we reported that NBA/Miami Heat star Chris Bosh was denied by a Florida judge from taking his 3-year-old daughter, Trinity, out of the country to the Olympics in London in July.
Now comes word via Jose Lambiet’s Gossip Extra that Trinity’s mother, Allison Matthis, has applied for food stamps and is on the verge of losing her home to foreclosure. She recently lost her job at a construction company in the Orlando, Fl. area.
Matthis’ lawyer, Jane Carey, is now speaking out about the situation.
Carey talked publicly about the case for the first time today because, she says, she’s tired of the 28-year-old Bosh — who got married last year to Adrienne Bosh and recently celebrated the birth of their son.
For two years, the ball player has been battling Matthis in courts in Orange County (Florida), California and Texas on anything from child support to banning her appearance from VH-1’s Basketball Wives to how much time he spends with the child.
Things, however, have changed since Matthis lost her job.
Believe it or not, says Carey, Bosh pays her a mere $2,600-a-month in child support!
According to state guidelines, someone like Bosh whose yearly salary is in the $18 million-range should be paying about $30,000-a-month. So Carey asked a judge to adjust the child support.
Meanwhile, she says, Bosh shouldn’t be allowed to take a three-year-old to London for three weeks.
“My client just lost her job and applied for food stamps for her and Mr. Bosh’s daughter. She’s about to be foreclosed on, he won’t help her and all he wants to do is go to London with his daughter. Are (you) kidding?”

So she wants to live off od Bosh’s money? It’s child support, not baby momma salary. If she can’t keep a roof over the child’s head then she should give the child to the father who can.
His child should live just as comfortable as the father. Child support is always based on salary and the fittest parent isn’t based on who’s the richest and keep in mind that he travels a lot.
So he should give up more of his money to the baby mother? They were never married and why should the child live as comfortable as the father if he isn’t living with the father? That makes no sense. The child doesn’t have to have all the things the father has. It’s called child support not child equality.
So, you think him paying her more child support means she’ll live as comfortable as him?!
You’re really are ignorant!!!
What he makes and what he’ll be paying in child support aren’t anywhere near the same thing. What he makes in NBA salary isn’t his only income either.
Now, I don’t know why it is that Black men think that the families they make (doesn’t matter whether or not he married the momma) is not entitled to live well, especially if he’s wealthy. Living well and living as well as you do are entirely different.
If annoys the hell out of me to hear broke Black mofos talk about being a playa. Their broke ass, what they think is a Black version of a rich white PLAYBOY. White men understand for the most part that you have to pay the cost to be the boss. They set their chicks up in houses, buy them cars, jewlery, etc., for the most part. When they leave you, you’re usually set. You’ve either got money in the bank, thanks to their generosity for you playing your part and staying in your lane and/or you’ve moved in their circles often/well enough to snag another just like or better than him.
The broke ass Black PLAYA has notthing to offer or nothing along lines of the mega rich white guys. They’re looking for chicks to live off of (usually with kids because they’re the easiest targets and if they’re on the dole almost always have paid rent and food) and to dog out. The well off (notice I didn’t say rich because most of you don’t even realize what rich truly is nowadays and it ain’t a few million) Black playa is only looking for as many pretty women to hit as he can because if his ugly ass didn’t have some change in his pocket, he’d never stand a chance with that mug. Then, if he has kids expects that he shouldn’t have to take care of them or should give just enough for some of the food that he thinks the kid may eat per month.
If you’re well off, why shouldn’t you give the kids that your dumb ass spawns, a better life?!!! Why shouldn’t your kids live better than you did? Why shouldn’t your kids have more than you did (not everything)? Why shouldn’t your kids be better schooled? Properly prepared and given a headstart in life?
Why do you feel that they should be taken away from their mother in order to do that?!!! Especially, when someone other than your travelling ass will be raising them?!!! What is the Black man’s problem with the Black women getting ahead especially if you were stupid enough to imprenate her? She bore your children and now you’re trying to punish her for it. IT TOOK TWO! She used you?!!! Really?!!! Looked like a two way street to me!
Couldn’t have said it better, brooklynbabe!
@brooklynbabe,You should get the facts before staunchly defending something or someone.This woman refuses, it has been documented to speak to Chris, without her lawyers or even refuses to let him see his child when is he supposed to and for how long he is supposed to,he has been fighting her for years and the child is only 3.
Last year she wouldn’t allow Chris to have his daughter during the nba finals.She seems to be vindictive and now he is too.She is also suing Chris because she said he ruined a $250,000 deal she had to be in basketball wives ,so again after all this he should help her,no the gloves are off and you would probably feel that way if someone came at you and was making life tedious, MISS BROOKLYN.
So maybe the karma is her losing her job and now maybe her home, for not allowing him to see his daughter without having to go to court.You eloquently and correctly wrote about men who don’t want to do right by their children,how about the woman who use the child as a payday and if they don’t get what they want(the man or money),don’t let the father in the child’s life?
You also assume if I’m reading correctly that he only gives her what the court appointed.We don’t know.Should he give her more money probably,but sorry if she’s not letting him even see his daughter w/out him going to court,why should he help her?He is now trying to prove she can’t take care of her like he can and is probably going to try and get her through the court to live with him.
These two need to stop going to court and handle their business as parents,doing what’s best for the child and not as spurned lovers.She was paying for a lawyer just to allow Chris to talk with her,wasting what little money she had .Too many children being born to single parents which is the fault of men and women.Since she is doing bad,she should want her daughter to live with her dad,but you know why she won’t $$$$$$$$
You are the ignorant one, you arew bringing up a lot of b.s. and trying to attribute it to me. He is giving what the court says he should and you want him to give MORE? Really??? You sure are generous with other mofos money!!
Brooklynbabe, you are 100% CORRECT! I am so sick and tired of these men whining about paying child support. They need to PAY UP AND STFU. They are all so worried that the child’s mother, the legal guardian and protector of the child, will benefit. I am GLAD, GLAD, GLAD that the law is what it is and that child support is based on the combined income of the mother AND the father.
ok, so maybe the child should live with the parent who has the most comfortable lifestyle if the idea is that the child should live as comfortable as the father. Maybe the child should live that comfortable, but why should the person who pays for those comforts have to pay for the comforts of a grown-ass woman who can/should be able to provide for themselves as well as their part for the child? $30,000 per month is a ridiculous/unnecessary amount for child support because in most cases the child doesn’t need that. If someone is ordered to pay that amount I think that a reasonable amount should be taken out for the actual amount that is needed for the child and the rest should be placed into an account that cannot be touched by neither parent or the child until he’s 18 or unless the court orders that the funds are released. That money maybe needed if a time comes wherein he’s not able to pay. That ensures that the childs lifestyle won’t change. Give that chick 30k per month and 25k of it will be spent on her and some other dude!
18 mil a year and he won’t help his child’s mother? . . . I’d love to hear that my father wouldn’t help my mother, the mother of his child, the woman who, at one time put up with his bullshit . . . . . . Soop, she had a job and a roof over the child’s head, She’s lost her job and NOW may lose her home? c’mon, you’re like that?
That’s not his ex wife. If she can’t provide for the child then the child should be with the father.
It doesn’t matter that she isn’t his ex wife. She is the mother of his child. No matter how he feels about her, he shouldn’t let it interfere with him taking care of his daughter. And taking care of his daughter includes making sure she has a roof over her head and food to eat.
Soooooo the child should be with him because she can’t provide for the child. RIGHT??? right???
I agree with nylaconnect. Tell it!!
I agree, its not baby mama support. Maybe she should consider allowing him to care for the child until she gets on her feet…He shouldn’t feel obligated to help her meet her needs…but the child’s needs is all he should care about. Ppl get 500 or less in child support and they make it do what it do…she may need to live within her means and down size…As for his wife she deserve what his income has to offer because he chose to marry her…ppl should wise up and stop living like husband and wife until you are husband and wife, that includes having kids until marriage
You know damn well men that marry women tend to try to do all they can to screw them in the divorce.
Every state needs to change over to community property status and all of this shit will stop.
Unbelievable Chris Bosh would ever let an article of this nature to get out in the media. This really says a lot about his outlook and character when it comes to his child and mother of his child who’s the primary caretaker. First of all, I do applaud him for paying child support to begin with. Apparently once upon a time he was ordered to pay the amount of $2,600 or lesser a month in child support. He’s fulfilling the requirement, while living far wealthier and better than the child. In addition to that I also applaud his daughter’s mom for working on her own to support her daughter and self. She doesn’t seem to have been living off Chris’s money and fame. Unfortunately she has lost her job, and now on the verge of losing her home to foreclosure. This is a regrettable situation that she could not help and it’s a hardship. Too bad Chris does not see, or care that his child’s mother is in a emergency and financial crisis. In spite of it all she has to survive, care & provide for this child. When a rich man has an annual salary of 18 million dollar that could last beyond life, you mean to tell me he can’t assure a reasonable steady place for the sake of his child to live in? The child’s mom is down on her luck and needs to be able to continue caring for their daughter etc. Chris all of a sudden wants to take the daughter to the Olympics in London for 3 weeks, but was denied by a judge in Florida. He claims to love and care so much about his daughter, but he as an millionaire would rather see his child & her mother go on food stamps to supplement income.
Chris’ concern is for the child and the child only. She needs to let the child live with Chris until she gets herself together,not expect money for herself from a man who was never her husband.
I’ll bet you make less than $75,000 a year, way less, and are a few missed paychecks from being on the street your damn self. It’s always the ones that don’t have or who were dirt poor growing up that yell the loudest and don’t have a clue about how it’s really done. They look from the outside in and think they have it all worked out.
The child mother is low-in-funds, not a low life mother. I think Chris wants to use this as a bargaining chip to wrest custody from the mother permanently.
And not because he so desparately wants his child but, because he thinks it’ll be cheaper to have the child in his household rather than letting her stay with her mother.
Chris won’t have good luck with that mentality. Karma is a b*tch. Look how how many Black athletes end up with virtually nothing by the age of 40. His day is coming. The child has been with the mother since birth and the thought of delivering her to a different household is unthinkable.
Maybe this is karma hitting her azz. You ever think of that? Chris didn’t make her lose her job.
HAHAHAHAHAHA You have no point so you attack me. What a joke you are.
Hmmm… how can anyone with a $18 million dollar NBA contract justify allowing their child to live on welfare? Regardless of how much he hate and despies the mother if he mistreats her – he is in turn mistreating his child. She has custody. She is the caregiver. Is Mr. Bosh so blinded by his hatred that he can’t see how this will affect his child? Just because she doesn’t make a lot of money doesn’t mean she is an unfit mother. So she lost her job? Not surprising in this economy at all; it’s happening everyday to the best of us. I just can’t believe he’s only paying $2600 a month – which is NOTHING when you’re taking care of a child, paying a mortgage, buying food, paying insurance, etc. The more I think about it it’s kinda evil. Chis better get over himself quick or pay for this later in Karma. *smh*
He hasn’t allowed her to live on welfare, where did you get that from? If she can’t do her part in providing for the child then she is NOT A FIT MOTHER.
I agree with the people who understand that she is a babay mama, not ex-wife. Chris is not responsible for her housing situation. If anything, his daughter should go to London for 3 weeks, so that his baby mama can find a job and handle her foreclosure business. It is supposed to be the best interest of the child, not the baby mama. If you choose to be a baby mama, you still have to get your own job separate from the child support.
I reluctantly agree. You certainly can care for a child with 2500.00 a month, so the well being of the child should not be interrupted either way. Many people lose there jobs and get NO income coming in, so she will have to adjust until she get her ISH back in order. Chris is not obligated to rescue her home and living expenses, would it be nice, absolutely, should he be paying more, legally, I don’t know how he got out of paying what the guidelines are, which is a certain percentage of your income, which even at 1% would be MORE than 2500.00, however, that may be a testament to the baby momma’s character, who up until now, did not go after it long before. She was never a wife, so she is not entitled to live within HIS means. And the child SHOULD be allowed to go to London.
She would not be living up to his means. What don’t you people get about that?
And, what does her being only the mother of his children have to do with anything? He made a family regardless. She may not be able to get half but, she is due something whether fools want to admit it or not. He could have wore a condom or gotten a vasectomy.
If you don’t want to care for a family, don’t make one damn it.
And, I wholeheartedly believe that there ought to be consequences for dumb ass actions. We have far to many hellions running around that fools did not, have not and will not, if they have their way, take care of or take care of properly.
How do you think this child will feel growing up in small house in a subpar neighborhood while her siblings grow up in a mansion, go to an exprensive private school, etc.? It is not right to penalize the children for your stupid mistakes and arrogance.
It is not right to penalize the children for your stupid mistakes and arrogance.
And that’s the inherent problem w/your logic. A child is not penalized by NOT growing up in a frkn mansion. A child is NOT penalized by living in a smaller house. A child is not ENTITLED to anything but food, clothing and shelter. We have seen zero evidence to suggest that this child is in danger of being poor.
The mother is the issue and that’s her fault. She seems (and many of you cosign) to want to attach herself to Bosh’s nutsack ad infinitum. Get yo trifling ass a better job and act like the rest of the “REAL” women who don’t get shyt from their baby’s dadddy but still are able to stay above water.
This whore gets 2600/month. Please.
It reminds me of the foolishness from Diddy’s baby mamma Misa, who was upset that she didn’t get the same money for Justin that Kim Porter did.
Low class golddigers!
I’m with you Musbdherbs. Tell it!
What don’t you get? She should think about the child. She doesn’t sound all that innocent to me.
Common sense Chris should be a man that’s very concerned about his child as well as the primary caretaker that cares for the child when he’s not present caring for the child himself. Recently Chris Bosh was denied by a Florida judge from taking his 3-year-old daughter out of the country for 3 weeks in July to the Olympics in London. So why should his daughter’s mother give the child to him on a permanent basis especially when It’s on record that Chris only requested to keep this child 3 weeks, and nothing more? It clearly shows that his daughter’s mom had a job and was doing all she can to support her daughter and self. She had not been demanding, or expecting money from him. This child was born, It does not even matter whether Chris & the woman had been married or not. It’s typical ignorance to come off as if the child shouldn’t live as comfortable as the father. He as a multi millionaire should want the very best life style for his child as he lives. If Chris daughter’s mom was being represented by Gloria Allred, this case would be a done deal where no food stamps would be involved.
He should be embarrased as hell that this is out in the public. Do Black men have any idea how bad white men in general talk about them when crap like this continually hits the fan and the media? I do! And, I am sick of hearing it. Y’all look like straight fools and the talk is continually about how ignorant you are, trying to imitate, don’t know how and can’t handle your “business”. Look like straight fools having all of these children and not wanting to take care of them or your women properly.
Look up Steven Speilberg and other rich and famous men to see how it’s properly done.
I have to agree… Gloria Allred would have had his butt writing a check so fast he would have broker his finger trying to do it. I, personally, don’t agree with the argument that it’s only about the child and not the mother. This is how I see it – if my child’s mother is doing a good job raising him/her then I am equally concerned about her well being as well – it just makes sense. Regardless how I may personally feel about her… Anyone who says think $2500.00 is enough to raise a child is crazy. It’s good supplement income if you already have a good paying job, but you can’t live off it alone. Again I ask how can anyone justify making $18 millions dollars annually knowing their child is somewhere living in poverty. *smh*
Gloria Allred??? HAHAHAHAHA Are you serious?? She is nothing but a headline seeking whore that does nothing for her clients.
As a matter of fact I am! You are entitled to your opinion just as I and others are.
Let’s just see if Chris will step up to the plate and request to care for the child temporary until his child’s mother can get back on her feet with a job and place to live. Rather than requesting to take the child only 3 weeks to the Olympics and then return the child back to the mom in present condition after the Olympics ends. With the mindset of Chris, I hope that he does not fall in this category of athletes that went for broke such as Warren Sapp, Dennis Rodman, Terrell Owens, Mike Tyson, Latrell Sprewell, Kenny Anderson, Allen Iverson, Michael Vick, Lawrence Taylor, Derrick Coleman, Scottie Pippen, and Antoine Walker. What’s up with all these black athletes going for broke, or from riches back to rags as most came from in the beginning? This does not seem much of a problem from non black athletes, unless it kept well under wrap.
Bosh is similar in character to Karl Malone. They’ll both lay up in luxury while the kids they had out of wedlock suffer. The bottom line is they have no conscience and will do anything to destroy the mothers of these children.
And why should she give up her child to a man and ‘another’ woman who probably do not want her anyway especially since they started their own family??
“Look up Steven Speilberg and other rich and famous men to see how it’s properly done.”
@ Brooklynbabe,
That’s right! Linda Evangelista just went to court with her baby daddy who is now married to Selma Hayak. These women want ‘their’ children to be treated and accorded the same priveleges as those in the same home with their wealthy daddies. Black men do not feel full Black children are as worthy as their others.
Am I mistaken or did you just generalize all Black Fathers. You sound like a scorned woman. Black men do not feel full Black children are as worthy as their others. What does that even mean?
The child is 3 years old…not 13 or 23 for those commenting she should go with him to London for 3 weeks. C’mon…this is a baby who be left in the care of his strange ‘handlers’ for the most part. Then he might try to hang on to her and wrench the child completely away from the mothers just to prove he has the means to do it, and bring the mother to her knees.
My thoughts exactly MC!
You right again Melody.
Now even though I perfectly understand where Chris is coming from. Who wouldn’t want their kid to share in a moment like that? But even though I don’t know exactly what went down between he and his ex, folks got to understand that that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Dumping a black woman for a whitey?! Please.
She going to do everything she can to spite him, even though she is taking an opportunity from her daughter. And at a time like this, that could also be a costly mistake as far as custody.
That is utterly ridiculous. Without even knowing the man you assume he will be neglectfucl of his daughter. How dare you.
I’m confused. Did this article say that the child was destitute?
The woman was fired from her job and assuming she’ll get unemployment, that income plus the additional 30k p/year leaves her in such a state that she’s forced to apply for welfare?
GTFOH! It is NOT his responsibility to make sure his baby’s mamma lives high on the hog. This is nothing but a ploy. If you just lost your job and gets 30k and your FIRST thought is to apply for food stamps, then it shows how much of a waste of parenthood you are.
To make matters worse, he can’t take his own child out of the country? Oh please! She’s a fkn loser plain and simple.
She’s not currently getting $30K a year from him. She lost her job, unemployment isn’t a given. She is, however, at the point of having to apply for food stamps to try to make ends meet.
I think it’s funny that people here think she is ENTITLED to a 328,000 come-up simply because he is busting his butt to get his paper. I’m quite sure he won’t even be spending that kind of money on the son that’s living with him. 30000 per month? Please! There are families the survive on that much in a year. Don’t feel too sorry for her though because while she’s looking for another job, Mr. Bosh would probably be all too happy to have his daughter living with him. I mean really, what does it say about this woman that she is denying her child a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to the Olympics with her father? Maybe she should see her daughter as a person and not as a pawn for getting paid. Under those circumstances he would probably help her without being forced to do so. SHE should think of her child. It seems like Mr. Bosh has been.
It’s a sad but almost typical story. There are plenty of basketball player-baby mamas out there. I agree, he should take care of his child.but so should the mother. Doing right b his child also does not mean she should be rocking expensive bags and sitting in a lavish house either. It means the needs of the child are taken care of. If he isn’t doing that, then its a problem. However, she is going through what a lot of people are going through and can’t fall back on the fact that her baby’s daddy is a millionaire. I get the sentiment that many have about him, but why is no one looking at the fact that she has her hand held out for money..but he has to jump through hoops to see his child. Being a parent is more than just money. Or, is he only her dad when it’s convenient. Also, $30,000 a month. Uhm, I get the fact that child support is calculated by a formula. But really….. There are people who support an entire family on less than that a month. But one child needs $30,000? I’m surprised that can be said with a straight face.
Well, if she had to apply for food stamps which I think is probably B.S. and a ploy her attorney came up to get a major increase in support, then maybe she should give him physical custody until she’s able to take care of the child. I think its a bunch of crap that he couldn’t take his daughter to London…
Wow people have some strong opinions on this subject matter. But some opinions seem so over the top like she is a fkn loser plain and simple and she is preventing a 3 year old the opportunity of a life time from denying him to take the child to the Olympics. What do we know about her to even call her a loser? What would a 3 year old remember about going to the Olympics? I have no opinion on the situation overall but $2,600 a month seems low for his salary unless he is planning to pay for her medical cost, day care and set aside a college fund. I thought child support is normally based on a % of the person’s income. And last I dont think it is fair for tax payers having to pay for her to go on food stamps when the father makes $18 million a year.
No what’s unfair is a woman raking in 30k for her child…to then turn around and ask the taxpayers to give her more. Yet, you think it’s unfair for us to pay for her? We don’t have to.
Frankly, considering the circumstances, I will be surprised as hell if the state grants her request for food stamps.
This poor excuse for a woman, not a REAL woman, is trying to run a game. But instead of leaving the blame at her feet, people (most exclusively women) are making her baby’s daddy the issue.
Yeah wutever.
She’s a golddigging loser.
She’s not currently getting $30K a month from. It says she should be getting that much. RIF!
You might want to take off you manhater shades and read what I wrote. She’s raking in over 30k per year. Now what’s your silly point again?
“What do we know about her to even call her a loser? What would a 3 year old remember about going to the Olympics?”
@ music,
The mother isn’t a loser unless that’s what some call a person who is presently unemployed through no fault of their own. It would be hard sending a 3 year old to another state for three weeks let alone to a foreign country even if it is the Olympics. Let Chris pay for her to attend the Olympics when she’s of age and can experience the excitement of it. Who knows…he daughter might end up representing in the Olympics. It not unusual for the one who receives less to excel in the end. Karl Malone’s daughter is a prime examplle of that.
Oh puhleeze!
How do you know why she no longer has a job? You don’t know if she was quit, let go, or was fired w/cause.
Sure it would be hard sending a 3yr old but I imagine that it wouldn’t be a problem for the sorry mother had SHE (as the other parent) been going as well. Here, she’s not allowing “the other parent” to do it because she’s salty.
ANY parent who averages 30+/yr and likely has the opp to file for unemployment and needs the state to help her out…is indeed a loser.
Ask your mom if she would have let you leave the country at 3 yrs old for 3 weeks in the care of strange handlers while daddy did his thing.
Ask my mom whether she would allow me to go out of the country w/my rich dad whose “thing” is what made her want 30k per month from him?
I believe this has zero to do w/her being concerned about the child’s well-being. This is about her being the devious woman she apparently is.
Not suprising that you would characterize his “work” as “daddy doing his thing.” The same “thing” that brings him made guap you feel should be given to his bmama.
Yeah wutver.
Just do me that favor and ask if she would have let your bad azz go at 3 yrs old.
Melody u and others keep saying the daughter will be in the hands of strange handlers and u know this how?
First off they only play every other day and they don’t practice that much.
Also you are assuming that his wife is not going,his parents aren’t going,or other family members or friends aren’t going,which he can afford to pay for, if they can’t.Again we don’t know.
Where did you get that they don’t practice that much from? What is not that much by your standards?
Oh, and you’re also forgetting that they are there as NBA players/representatives as well. They have press to do, stores to visit, other player appearances, etc. That child WILL be left to the care of others for the majority of that three week period.
@brooklynbabe ,I got the they don’t practice much and play that much from sports reporters,who were talking about the whole experience .
BTW if the mother is working and when she was,who was watching the child,your same others.It happens with most children who have parents that have a job or career,so your point is weak,imo.
When you sleep with someone so that you can get pregnant and get paid for the next 18 or 21 years this is what you get and I do not feel sorry for you. Condoms are free and contraceptives cost less than $6. If one construction job closes then look for another one. Obama said the stimulus money has provided thousands of construction jobs then I would send an email to Michelle, Barack or Valarie and ask them where the jobs are. In the meantime if you can’t find a construction job then look elsewhere. Don’t expect Chris or some other man to take care of you. Apart of being an adult is to provide for yourself. Having said that , Chris should pay child support not baby mama support. He should take care of his child and you should be ashamed of yourself for playing this pity party. Get off your rusty dusty and take care of your child. Stop teaching this little girl that her father doesn’t care about her and in order to get something from him that you must go to the media.
Newflash!
When this child sees how she’s living compared to her other siblings, she’ll come to the conclusion all on her own that her father doesn’t care about her. You don’t have to bad mouth a father whether rich or poor, just let his actions be his children’s guide. All you have to do when your child starts asking questions is shrug and send them off in his direction. Contrary to what’s out there, most women don’t bad mouth the father of their children like that. They just sit back and let you observe your father’s actions and let you come to your own conclusions and decide how you want to deal with him if at all.
as Eddie implied I’m blown away that a person able to profit $7977 in four weeks on the internet. did you look at this site N u tt y R i c h D ot c om
I know $2600 per month sounds like a small amount and with his salary it really is, BUT…..that is more than enough support for THE CHILD! Let’s look at this realistically; if we are dealing with 50% of expenses from each parent then we are looking at $5200 per month that should be going towards the child. This whole mess about child support should be based on a person’s income has be horribly abused. If she doesn’t want to allow him to raise the child then no one should expect that he should provide a mansion for her and the child to live in. She needs to find another job and quit trying to get into his pockets. He should increase what he pays on his own, but not by court order. And she has the balls to try to make him look bad by applying for food stamps. She needs food stamps, but the kid get more than enough from her father to eat off of!
Who said anything about his providing 50% toward the expenses of the child?
The child’s standard of living should be based off of the parent with the best income. Period. If it’s the woman, fine. In this case, it’s the man.
And, who said anything about providing her with a mansion? $30,000 a month doesn’t maintain a mansion. It’s 2012. Chris Bosh ain’t even rich people. He’s well off. To rich, is to never be able to spend all of the money you have people! If you’re truly rich, you can’t go broke! Chris Bosh can and most likely will, wind up broke. Too many people on here are talking and don’t have a damn clue. Due some research first people. Bunch a damn cracker jack box getting diploma mofos, if that. I hate damn near broke and stupid people. You can tell the ones that’ll never get there either mentally or financially. Think they own a little house and/or a car with some rims and they think they got money, Dumb asses!
Let me say this, if you are that dumb that making 360k/yr can’t afford you a mansion (if you chose to buy one) then you don’t need to live in the first place. a 10-15k mortgage can buy you a mansion.
You need to do some research and stop being so damn angry because you’ve truly shown yourself to be the stereotypical angry black women who walks around w/a chip on your clit.
brooklynbabe sounds like an angry black women who has chosen the wrong black men time and time again and now they all are sorry and should have to pay in ever situation regardless. This man has an obligation only to that child and regardless of how anyone cuts it, a person should damn-well be able to feed, clothe, and provide shelter for a child off of $5200 per month. That’s right $5200 per month, because she should have another $2600 to pitch-in with supporting the child. Now how she manages for herself is her damn business. brooklynbabe has the audacity to speak on how broke this black man. playa, etc. is and she bets that they don’t even make $75k per year and all this shit, well most of these black women are just as broke as hell too. Stop placing all the ills with the world on the shoulders of black men. SOME black women are equally fckd-up, broke, lazy, etc.!
Amen!!!!!! Amen! And Amen again!
How do I sound angry?
I am so tired of that punk ass move that some weak Black men try to use to shut Black women down. You got the wrong one son!
A man doesn’t complete me or complement me. I don’t buy into that often spouted b.s. Yes, it is lovley to have someone in your life but, it is not the be all and end of my life. And, I certainly don’t blame Black men for all of world’s woes! I am responsible for me, thank you very much.
Not angry and I don’t hate Black men. I do pity a lot of you fools though!
Sorry dude. You sound like the average broke Black man, never had nothing of any real value and never will. Yet, you’re always crying about someone trying to steal your cheddar. PLEASE!
Uhm, you’re the railing about black men…specifically what Bosh should do. Nothing in any of your posts suggests that you are open to anything but castrating Bosh. And you wonder why you sound angry?
And to make matters more foolish. You’re now going in talking about someone’s crying over money that has nothing to do w/them?
You may not be angry. But you are a damn fool of the worst female kind.
musb, please,
You seriously sound like one of those little boys who whines whenever a sista says the slightest thing they don’t like. WAH WAH WAH!
And, if you were paying attention, you’d see I wasn’t railing about all Black men. Might I be railing about you?! Hmmm…. Guilty conscience maybe?!
And this is coming from the “lady” who asked What is the Black man’s problem with the Black women getting ahead especially if you were stupid enough to imprenate her?
Now that foolishness is your response to someone who felt as if she isn’t “entitled” to the money you think she deserves. You see black women as golddiggers looking to “getting ahead.”
Don’t blame us here for the fact that all 8 of your baby daddies don’t pay child support. Blame that on your decision to use your body as a receptacle for semen.
You should already know my history…I go in
“When this child sees how she’s living compared to her other siblings, she’ll come to the conclusion all on her own that her father doesn’t care about her. You don’t have to bad mouth a father whether rich or poor, just let his actions be his children’s guide.”
@ Brooklynbabe,
No doubt his daughter will begin to notice and this is why many judges sign off on higher support payments to bolster the child’s self-esteem and well-being. Michael Strahan behaved exactly as Bosh towards his Black children by his first wife but tried to repair his image a bit once the news hit and their faces were shown. Quite frankly, I do not see how Bosh’s wife could live with the treatment he metes out to his daughter now that she’s a new mother.
I concur my sista.
I find it interesting the number of brothas that will leave their offspring out there like that. It pains me to see the number of brothas that think they should just do the bare minimum and that the child’s mother should make due while he’s on the the next woman. And, most likely on to creating yet another family that he will not properly care for.
What these fools continuing to talk shit still don’t get is that they’ve created a family whether they choose to be there and a part of it or not. Until they understand the gravity of what has been done and the complete consequences of what they’ve done when they’ve completed that family, they’ll be no getting through to them.
I see a lot of fatherless little boys and girls on this board. Daddy wasn’t there and didn’t do what he was supposed to do and they’re just perpetuating the cycle. So sad.
@brooklynbabe I ask you respectively,how come our women continue to let our men impregnate them,when we know unfortunately how this usually turns out?
Supposedly 72% of Black children grow up in single parent,women led households? When do women say enough,knowing these guys are irresponsible?When do they demand men wear protection,not just for birth control,but for protection against diseases such as HIV,which our women supposedly have more than any other race of women?
Both sides are wrong,not just the man that has children all over the place but the woman who has more than one child with a different father( I hate the term baby momma/daddy). The cycle continues.
The question is why far too many of our men won’t marry and make proper families. Why the need to go from woman to woman to woman?
If a brotha doesn’t want to be tied to a particular woman for life, he shouldn’t make a baby. Guys know when they get with a woman whether or not she’s looking to marry them. They are too busy trying to hit it and not thinking of the consequences. She looks at you and sees a family. If you don’t remain zipped and keep it moving. Y’all should know that old saying about long eyes. Stop being greedy when you already know the score.
And, please don’t start that shit about I didn’t want it so, I shouldn’t have to pay for it.
I’m a little confused by some of the comments under this article. The article does not state that Carey is getting 30K a month. This is what it stated:
“According to state guidelines, someone like Bosh whose yearly salary is in the $18 million-range should be paying about $30,000-a-month. So Carey asked a judge to adjust the child support.”
Carey only asked for the adjustment according to what the state dictates on how much percentage a parent with a higher income should pay out. The state explicitly states that someone in Bosh’s income bracket, should pay higher child support. I don’t understand all derogatory comments towards the mother. Blame the state for setting the guidelines, not the mother.
Just saying.
The mother should be blamed because she’s trifling and relying on her wealthy baby daddy to give her the lifestyle she feels “entitled” to.
she’s a sorry excuse for a black woman, that’s exactly what she is.
Bangkok WHORE!
I feel sorry for your kids!
So do I…especially if he has girls. They really do not value children who reflect their image…that’s it in a nutshell.
Why? I’m old and wise enough to make great decisions on whom I choose to father a child w/. The writings were likely on the wall in this case but Bosh clearly made a dumb, stupid decision.
That doesn’t stop the mother from being an opportunistic trifling black women.
In fact, any women who’ll do fake PR and have people believing she needs food stamps is a skank.
Now that I think about it. Does she have other kdis?
Weren’t you talking differently about the woman who bore 3 kids for Stoudemire just because he finally decided to marry her after whoring his way through a number of other women in the meantime?? At least Bosh’s ex stopped with 1 child. From the bottom of my heart, I feel so sorry for those who can’t stop giving a damn about weak, selfish, hateful SOBs no matter what they know about them.
No you don’t. you feel sorry for any black women who’re unable to exact what they want from a black man.
From the bottom of you heart…lies a deposit slip.
Let’s keep it real.
Ummm, why is she a ‘whore’? I really don’t get why you are calling this woman all sorts of names. She is trifling because she is asking what the states mandates she should ask for? Mus, it seems anytime a situation like this with rich athlete or entertainer comes up regarding some kind child support, you automatically take the side of the man and start degrading the woman. It’s like you lump all child support situations as gold digging opportunities for the mother. At least this woman was working before applying for food stamps. Bosh made the decision to sleep with this woman so he bares some of the responsiblity, too. Anybody who knows a woman collects child support (and I have friends who do) know that raising a child is expensive. It’s not simply just trying to live the high life off a child or getting ‘paid’ off the child. That’s too simplistic a reasoning to say that that’s the only reason why a woman wants an increase in child support. So if Bosh wasn’t who he was and wasn’t working and she was working, she would still be ‘trifling’ just because she chose to have a child with him? I have a hard time following why men seem hell bent on punishing the parent whom they choose to sleep with by nickeling and diming their child.
It’s funny that you mentioned Misha Hilton’s issues with support with Puff Daddy when she demanded more money from him for his son. Yet, there was Puff Daddy fawning on Justin’s football scholarship, front and center with the same child that he didn’t want to pay the same amount of support that he was paying for his other children. Let the woman do the hard work in the raising the child but the man should laud in all the glory when the child excels. Interesting!
@NYCsoul, I asked that same question yesterday and I see this argument has continued today. Regardless of the mother being a sorry excuse for a black woman (musbdherbs) the state determine the guidelines for the amount of child support a person pays. And again $2,600 seems low unless Bosh is paying for other expenses. Britney Spears had to pay Kelvin Federline $20,000 a month in child support so regardless of whatever opinion you may have about the mother the amount of child support Bosh is paying seems low.
@Music, not only that. Linda Evangelista is back in court with Selma Hayek’s hubby on getting increase child support payments because she states that her modeling days are over and she wants her child to get the same standard of living as Selma’s child does. Ok? Linda was a supermodel and nobody’s telling her to get a job or calling her names. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20593472,00.html
Linda asked and probably got 46K in child support from her billionaire ex-boyfriend. Yet, some people here are attacking Bosh’s ex, who at least, accepted lousy 2600 a month that he was giving her while she was employed. I really don’t get the attacks on this woman.
Clarification: Linda settled her child support payments with the ex-boyfriend. So guess what she is probably getting?
Yes, Linda settled and ain’t squawking either because everyone can understand her out of wedlock kid ‘still’ deserves equal to Selma Hayak’s. Also, Tom Brady dumped his longtime girlfriend Bridget Moynahan while she was pregnant and you don’t hear a peep out of her because he is probably paying what he should. The only ones that deserve the bare ‘minimum’ are Black women and their offspring in the minds of some folks.
Exactly NYCsoul, I am sure she is getting more than $46K a month!!!
“You seriously sound like one of those little boys who whines whenever a sista says the slightest thing they don’t like. WAH WAH WAH!”
@ brooklynbabe,
This is why I made a ‘conscious’ decision NOT to give a flying fcuk! You will never reach them on a certain level or tap into anything you’d want so it’s best to come to grips with that reality…sooner rather than later. They will only grow progressively weaker and even more vicious and uncaring at time passes…and soon they’ll all be humping their teddy bears in alleys which is actually a damn good solution since it takes the issue of child support etc off the table.
“Let the woman do the hard work in the raising the child but the man should laud in all the glory when the child excels. Interesting!”
@NYCsoul, and if the child doesn’t excel (during the father’s usual absence) they really do not want to claim them. ‘herbs, is the perfect embodiment of the type of man Black women need to ‘remember’ at all times and pray some hapless non-Black woman crosses his path and catches his fancy…at least for a minute. This type of ‘conditioning’ is bedrock and here to stay and is also being unleashed on non-Blacks as well.
“I have a hard time following why men seem hell bent on punishing the parent whom they choose to sleep with by nickeling and diming their child.”
@ NYCsoul, IMO the guys who behave like this are punishing the woman for one reason only. They feel undeserving and guilty that these women care about them and they are bent of teaching them a harsh lesson for doing so.
