Back in February, former NBA MVP Allen Iverson was ordered by a judge to
pay his ex-wife, Tawanna, $8,000 a month in child
support. However, Iverson hasn’t paid a single dime since they left court months ago, and
she’s not too pleased about it.
According to TMZ,
Tawanna and Allen are due in court this week for a progress update.
While there, Tawania would reportedly like the judge to not only
order her ex-husband to pay the $40,000 debt he has accrued but also be
sent to jail for his reckless disregard for both the court order and his
children’s wellbeing.
Right now, the whole jail element to her request
seems a little far-fetched, but it’s certainly not out of the question
given he allegedly hasn’t put any effort into paying.
Child support battles are major issues for many former couples/ spouses, but it’s especially a problem for many athletes and former athletes. With huge amounts of money streaming in for a short amount of time, players are often hit with child support bills, and if they don’t save properly, it can become very difficult to keep up with those agreements.
That’s why some players choose to go with large lump sum payments rather than smaller, long-term arrangements.
