Lawrence Taylor Misses Court and Avoids Child Support
It is being reported that Lawrence Taylor is attempting to cut child support for his daughter, who is afflicated with an intestinal disease that has no cure. Ebony Washington, mother of Erielle, Taylor's 12-year old daughter, filed a motion in Bergen County Superior Court in New Jersey to increase the $1,825 monthly child support payment. In response, Taylor filed a cross motion to reduce the child support payment by $500. Without reviewing the motion itself, we do not know the circumstances, but generally child support orders may be modified based upon "changed circumstances."
Taylor did not help himself by failing to appear in Court yesterday. It was reported that Taylor had his doctor send a last-minute email to the Court claiming that Taylor had a medical condition that prevented him from flying. This did not make Judge Melchionne happy, and he threatened issuing a bench warrant, even though Taylor's attorney did appear. Judge Melchionne nevertheless set a February trial date.
