Football star accused of handing over just £8 a month in child maintenance to struggling ex-girlfriend

A football star has reportedly been accused of handing over just 8 a month to his ex-girlfriend in child maintenance.  The former player said to be a regular on TV and radio, allegedly hid his assets so that he would only have to pay the minimum amount in child support.   His struggling ex-girlfriend claims he owes her hundreds of thousands of pounds for supporting the 14-year-old son they share together.  She told The Sun: ‘My son has had to eat 1.80 packet noodles for dinner on really hard days. It broke my heart’.   ‘Anything I earn goes towards him and my house,’ she added.   According to the newspaper, the couple dated for two years before she became pregnant. He spent part of his 20-year career in the Championship.   When she revealed the news about her pregnancy, he revealed he was actually married.  She said she foolishly accepted the former footballer’s offer of 10,000 not to take their financial row to a tribunal. But admitted she expected the basic child maintenance payments to continue.  The girlfriend added: ‘Officials tell me their records show he is earning less than 7 a week, so he can send what he wants.  ‘He comes across as a jovial guy. His hypocrisy is jaw-dropping.’  The post Football star accused of handing over just 8 a month in child maintenance to struggling ex-girlfriend appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
