Travis Henry just got tackled by a $3,000-a-month child support judgment.
Sure, the Denver Broncos running back has a $25 million contract and a base monthly salary approaching $50,000, but that kind of bill can still crimp your style when you're accustomed to expensive cars and fancy jewelry — and lots of other child support payments.
Henry, 28, has fathered nine children by nine women in at least four Southern states and has been ordered by various judges to provide child support for seven of them, according to court records involving one child living in DeKalb County.
Henry isn't the most thrifty guy, according to court records, so the judge wants to ensure payment by establishing an unusual $250,000 trust that Henry must fund by next spring.
Seeliger wrote that the football player displayed "bad judgment in his spending habits," dropping $100,000 for a car and $146,000 for jewelry. Meanwhile, Henry fell behind on support payments for his child with Beacham that were mandated by a previous order. Threatened with jail, he borrowed $9,800 from his former team, the Tennessee Titans, to pay the bill, according to court records.
The trust ensures Beacham will get timely payment if the pro player falls behind on his installments again. Yet the trust could be a sticking point for Henry, who could appeal.
Beacham could not be reached for comment. Her lawyer, Robert Wellon, said he asked that the trust be set up because Henry rarely made the payments mandated by an earlier order, though they were $800 less a month. Wellon said there was testimony establishing that Henry received a $1 million bonus earlier this year but quickly spent most of it, buying, among other things, a Mercedes and gold jewelry.

No sympathy here!
Pay up, male slut.
No sympathy for the 28-year-old with nine children by nine different women who makes $25m a year, not being able to afford all his child support payments? aww. Have a heart.
/sarc
His bad judgment extends far beyond his spending habits.
Shaking my head here again. He should have his child support payments taken directly out of his pay. That way he doesn’t have any excuses for not paying. Guys like this truly disgust me & the women who have children with this man are fools.
He needs to tie it in a knot.
$10 worth of condoms vs. $250,000 trust...
Tie it forever. Nine kids, and I’ll assume fatherless, that will get raised by their slut mom that will no doubt have the same attitude to their unearned money. (And yes, I imagine that this young football player with $25 million views it as found money and not earned - hence his squandering of it).
It’s just the culture...
no, it’s just a “mistake” and he is “immature” .....and he probably has found “Jesus” today...
Is he related to Shawn Kemp??
The NFL is a big turn-off.
This bum should have his...money confiscated.
Does’nt say much for these 9 women. No father.
Well, the guy does not disgust me at all... he is a young male after all.
The women are young too.
Gee, lets make a program to help male sluts & stupid women /s.
Did you ever know that your my heeeeerooooo......
Youre everything I wished I could beeeeeeee.....
And I .... I could fly higher than an eagle....
You are the wind beneath my wings....
;)
wow....that is so great
another wothless black nondaddy
just what the black community needs
let’s see....9 kids in 15 years that will be the first of 9 more and so forth
I got this guy having over 100 fatherless black great grandchildren by the time he’s 70 and by stats over half will be in prison, on parole or probation
ok....that’s 50 at a cost of 30K/year today to keep in jail...ok 1.5 million for each year in today’s dollars for all the future convicts he’s creating
he should start paying us now....like an installment plan
oh I forgot..he’s a stud athlete...he can get away with anything but dogfighting
even murder
geez....I wonder why I now longer watch the NFL or NBA
Turn in your man card. I don't care who you are.

It's not just disgusting, it's tragic.
You know what freak me out is that we only hear about "the tip of the iceberg". The problem is far, far more serious.
The socialists have made tremendous progress in damaging the future of our nation by creating an underclass that has no moral concept of the major societal construct of Western Civilization after Judeo/Christian beliefs: The Family.
Unless the "culture" within poorer black communities change from embracing this behavior, they are doomed as a people. Eventually everyone else is going to shrug and tell them all to fend for themselves.
Quite seriously, if the socialist policies strangling our government's ability to function continue, eventually "the state" will be bankrupt. The flow of "gubmint cheeze" won't last forever. That will be a very harsh reality to impact such communities.
