Baby Mama Forcing QB Out of the Pocket?

Matt LeinartHe's taken on some of the biggest, baddest men on the planet, but it's his baby mama who's hitting football stud Matt Leinart where it hurts the most -- his wallet!

TMZ has learned that the NFL pretty boy is locked in a raging legal fight with his ex-girlfriend, Brynn Cameron, over the couple's 9-month-old son Cole. According to sources close to the case, Brynn wants Matt to hand over more than $30,000 per month! That's a ton of jack for a 21-year-old living with her parents! According to sources close to the case, Leinart's pissed -- having already bought her a car, as well as voluntarily giving her around six grand a month. Leinart signed a six-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals in 2006 -- reportedly worth around $51 million.

We're told Leinart's also waging a "gung-ho" battle for custody, and recently filed a petition to establish paternity. Sources tell TMZ that the former USC star already "comes back to L.A. once a week, every week, to see the baby," but he wants a schedule where he can see the kid in Arizona as well. Unlike most pro athlete dads who have kids out of wedlock, we're told Matt is an engaged father who wants to be in his son's life.

But Cameron claims she's doing all the hard work when it comes to parenting, telling the Ventura County Star that Leinart "comes and goes whenever he wants ... he likes that Hollywood stuff and I don't like that."

The two are scheduled to hammer it out in court on August 13. Attempts to contact Cameron were unsuccessful.

61. One more time for those of you that seem to be a little slow... Child support is calculated based on the non-custodial parent's income. That means him and his millions. Legally the idea is that the baby is entitled to live the life it would have if the parent's were married. The baby is not penalized financially for the actions of the parents. Newsflash: 6K a month in L.A. is NOT anywhere close to living as a millionaire would!!!

63. Simple legal issue. He makes X. He the baby daddy. He pays X according to the child support laws of that state, including the case law for weenies who make incredible amounts but whine instead, when they should have been covering their weenie. Doesn't matter where she lives. If he wants to give her a car, that car's not child support...although he seems to think the child can be pampered with a car instead of Pampers.

Baby daddy is an ass.

65. what the hell ppl.. stop and think for a minute.. she opened up her legs does she not bear some of the responsibility for the baby being made as well.. everyone wants to blame the father automatically.. what if she told him "i am on birth control we don't need any more protection' duhhhh.. I think he is doing the honerable (sp) thing by buying her a new car and $6000.00 a month is more than enough for someone to live a comfortable life..

66. Its not like the slacker daddy can't afford it. He needs to take care of his child. He is an arrogant, dead-beat a$$hole......

67. Get a grip people. How in the hell does she need that much. Don't forget, he earns it, it's not free money. And giving her 30 grand a month to do nothing is rediculous. This is why we lose respect for women. Yes it's his, and he should take care of it, but just because they BOTH, remember that, BOTH, did not protect themselves does not mean she deserves that obsurd number. And by the way, i'm pretty sure she knew what lied ahead when she voluntarily allowed him to nut inside her. No big suprise he was going to get rich in the NFL, since it was only a few months before his pro career started. Wake up idiots.

68. Matt Leinart is making about $700k a month. He should be *ashamed* of himself for only shelling out $6k for his child and the child's mother. What a selfish ass! I think Brynn Cameron should have gotten a lawyer a long time ago.

71. #56: It must be the name. We're on the same legal wavelength. :-)

72. Remember, there's two people involved here, not just pretty boy Matt and his $51M. She was just as irresponsible as he was for getting knocked up in the first place. And call her a gold digger? - YES WAY! Ain't no chance that it costs $30G a month to raise a kid. No way in hell. The kid might see a couple hundred bucks a month; that filthy pig of a mother deposits the rest into her bank account. She who owns the kid has the power.

73. It is very apparent , the golddigger even tried to cover herself by saying I dont like that hollywood stuff. Liar.. Im sure the p** wasn't that good or he would still be with her.

74. Maybe she should have had an abortion instead of having a child out of wedlock!

75. Gold digging whores like Brynn and Michelle make me sick!
