Lamar Odom told his baby mama to get a job after she complained about him not paying child support, but the court system was not on his side.
The former NBA player has been ordered to shell out nearly $400,000 to his “Basketball Wives” ex-girlfriend after he allegedly stopped paying her child support as well as other costs related to the children. Liza Morales sued the ex-Los Angeles Lakers star back in May as she claimed he wasn’t honoring their 2015 settlement agreement over their now-adult children since June 2020.
Morales alleged that Odom was behind on child support, college costs and tuition, as well as rent for the Lower Manhattan apartment where she lives with their kids.
At a court hearing last month, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper granted Morales’ request for a default judgment against Odom since he failed to appear in the case to defend himself against the claims. Because of that, Odom has to pay $380,549 in child support, rent arrears, college costs and her legal fees in the case.
On top of that news, he also has to fund a life insurance policy worth $1 million and name his ex as the beneficiary.
Odom and Morales dated for years in the early 2000s.
