The father of the children makes $1 million a month, but a judge cut his child support payments down to $5,000/month and cited the mother's frivolous spending and unemployment. She's filing to raise it back to $28,000/month.
He's a high-powered lawyer who makes $1,000,000 each month in high-profile cases and even teaming up with Johnnie Cochran to sue Disney for $240 million. She's a once-Olympic hopeful who was seeking sponsorship and instead wound up pregnant with twins. Now the twins are 6 and his $28,000/month child support payments have apparently been going towards her $600,000 home in south Atlanta, splurging on designer clothes, cruises without the kids and a tummy tuck. She also spent thousands of his money on a Steinway piano, as well as private school tuition and diamonds for her oldest child, a teenage daughter from a previous relationship.
A judge heard both sides of the argument, and agreed with Willie Gary, cutting his monthly payments down to $5,000 a month. Diana Gowins, obviously not pleased with this detriment to her lifestyle, is filing to raise it back up.
For the children...
The 6-year-old twins, Tahj and Tajiah Gowins, are a perfect example of... well, horrible parenting skills right off the bat. I mean seriously, Tahj and Tajiah? That's like naming twins Victor and Victoria, or Daniel and Danielle, or another pair of names that are barely dissimilar due to being male/female analogs of the same freakin' name! What kind of mother would DO that to children??
Oh right, a mother who uses child support money to pay for cruises and a tummy tuck - while not having a job.
Of course, Diana Gowins claims she DOES have a job - it's called being a "stay-at-home-mom". Well listen, Diana - without a WORKING parent, the term "stay-at-home parent" means NOTHING. Just because you stay at home instead of getting a job to help support your children or your own life or pay some bills - that does not give you the right to claim that particular job title.
A stay-at-home parent is indeed in charge of the house and the children, and other household duties - but is in charge of them because the other parent is WORKING. And just because a guy got you knocked up - that's no reason to make him support YOU and your OTHER DAUGHTER. That makes him responsible for his own children. You don't get rewarded for getting knocked up by a married man and having his babies. You're lucky to be getting $5,000/month FOR HIS KIDS - I barely make that much in half a year, and I HAVE A JOB.
This woman is making a mockery of the child support system. This is a man who makes enough money to pay child support, and enough to not only have his children get by, but live comfortably. Just because it's a rarity, that doesn't mean YOU should get to profit from it and milk it for everything you can. $5,000/month is more than most people CAN make in a month - but he isn't paying that money for you to have cruises and plastic surgery and buy a freakin' piano. It's to make sure that his offspring are taken care of and will grow up respectably.
Of course, if that's still too much money to do that - I'm sure a judge would be willing to cut it back even further.
Get a job, woman.
