Former Saints fan favorite Robert Meachem began serving a 30-day jail sentence Monday, having failed to pay nearly $400,000 in child support and alimony owed to his ex-wife.

A local domestic court hearing officer in November calculated that Meachem owed about $588,000 to Rhodes in alimony and child support, of which he had only paid about $200,000.

It takes 600K to raise a child?

Is this just because of the fact he was making an NFL salary?

Almost 600,000 in child support? How many children over how many years? That seems excessive. Does the kid eat gold?

His wife has a lifestyle she had grown accustomed to and has a God-given right to maintain, you misogynistic a-hole.

Im sure he plays a part in his own problems here, however it seems like he really got screwed in family court.

Jesus... some laws are out of control in this country.

This same chick would be living on 25k a year if she hadn't popped out a kid by an NFL player. Why does she suddenly get 600k?

I always had a problem with laws like this. People I know get 3k a month, their kids are fed, has clothes, shelter, and goes to school perfectly fine. The hell you need 600k for..

The idea that a child has the right to the same lifestyle as their parent is ridiculous. If that kid is fed, clothed, and given reasonable opportunities thats all thats required. You dont get to be rich cause daddy fast.

Still can't take away one of the greatest plays ever in which he stripped the INT against skins to keep the streak alive.

22M less the 50% in taxes and 3% management fee. Add in the money that was wasted and this is why these guys are all broke. It's the same story, once done playing they have zero earning ability. To put the cherry on top they also marry women who have zero ability to make a living but need to drive a benz, take trips and live in a huge house.

I never understand how fathers would be better equipped to fulfill their financial obligations following a stint in jail

I bet 1/4 of that $400,000 goes to his kid. The ex pockets the rest.

Yeah the problem with the whole child support thing is that there is no outline on how you spend the money.
It's basically "here ya go" and then the child may not reap the benefit.

Why don't they just make the gold diggers keep receipts for products spent on the child then make him pay for that.

If only it was that easy and reasonable. She needs that lobster, steak, LV diaper bag, escalade to drive the kid, etc.
