Terrell Owens Catches Up

 
Terrell Owens and his child support issues are common knowledge on Rhymes with Snitch [click here and here if you missed that], but now those issues are a thing of the past. At least for now...

From The AJC
Terrell Owens, facing jail time after falling behind a second time on child support payments, has fulfilled his financial obligations, the attorney for his daughter's mother told the AJC.

Owens was due in court Tuesday on a contempt charge after falling behind two months and $10,000, said Randy Kessler, Melanie Paige Smith's lawyer. It was the second time this summer Owens was late with his $5,000 monthly payment.

In July, the 37-year-old former wide receiver blamed the NFL lockout in claiming financial hardship, saying he would only be able to afford $2,500 a month. His request was denied and he settled by paying the $10,000 owed for June and July, along with attorney fees, Kessler said.

Owens, a Fulton County resident, has not been signed by an NFL team. He played for the Cincinnati Bengals last season.
