Game Over? Leinart Settles Child Support Fight

46. Brynn asked for $30,000 so she'd get $15,000. For all you who say, "I survive on way less'" good for you. However, your child's father doesn't make 51 million in 6 years.

Matt will get plenty of visitation. Brynn is breasfeeding now, and breastfeeding babies should spend most of their time with their mommy's. After one year of age, most babies are weaned. Matt will have plenty of time.

47. Why would he need a crystal ball? Weren't they a couple long before his status as a pro?

You go Doesn't Matter! She deserves all she gets. It takes 2 to tango!

48. [[[[[Stan, didn't you once write that you were in arrears on child support? Because baby's mama can't be paying for things for the child on IOUs when baby's daddy didn't pay the court-ordered support on time. Oops...you forgot to explain that part.]]]]]

No I am not and never have been in arrears. Mostly I have averaged about one year paid in advance and everyone knows it. That is deliberate. I don't care to be arrested on the say-so of my ex. That has happened to two of my friends. Then they are taken from jail to the court after a few days where it is found that everything was okay after all and then the Mom is not penalizes at all. It's cheaper to prepay in advance if you can so that you can sleep at night. I also have prepaid college from my son's age of about 9 but would have preferred to be able to buy a house with that, rather than being in an apartment now. My ex is looking at buying a horse farms with her spare cash and has a large home.

I cannot count on being able to see my son according to our schedule...it keeps getting cancelled by my ex. So I just lost a few weekends recently and just heard that my Tuesday dinner with my son is now cancelled. Altogether I have lost the visitation in about 3 1/2 months of time in the last year. Nothing seems to be doable to fix that. I just heard from my son that he has called his attorney asking for help with this stuff. Well so far the guy seems to be ineffective in being able to help the child see the father. My son is now limping after having been intimidated into wearing shoes way too small a few years back. We found out that my ex is a NARCISSIST which explains a great deal. Look it up and read about what they are like to deal with - they are the hardest of all the different types of people.

Thanks for asking.

49. [[[Thanks Stan]]]

You're welcome. Honestly...had I not seen some of this mess in our family courts, I never would have believed it. It's like you are in the twilight zone or in a Franz Kafka novel.

That's a shame since every study shows that kids do their best and have the strongest odds for a bright future when both parents are in their lives.

50. Who is still unclear about the $15K in child support?

The amount the father pays is based on his income, so if he makes a lot of money, HE PAYS A LOT OF CHILD SUPPORT!

That child is ENTITLED TO HIS FATHER'S MONEY.

51. You have got to be kidding me! I had to battle my son's father to get him to pay $506 per month for 1 child. What in the hell kind of diapers is she going to buy??? This kind of crap is ridiculous and it pisses me off just hearing it. These judges let the rest of us mothers struggle while this woman will be shopping on Rodeo! She should be ashamed of herself.

52. It's amazing to me reading the more than igorant comments about child support, starting with TMZ itself. Cameron NEVER "demanded" that amount, it's what the state formulated guideline system calls for based upon Leinart's earnings. Each child support case is different. If these two remained a couple he'd be supporting that child in a manner similar to the amount itself. Educate yourselves, people.

53. amy, sorry that you have a dead beat baby dady, but if he made 51 million in 6 years you'd be in better shape!!!!! Why should she be ashamed? You should be ashamed for your idiotic comment. Some men ,not unlike yours, don't want to pay for child care. He apparantly was forced to pay this.GOOD! I am thankful for these laws as you should be. Don't hate on her because the baby dady RICH!

54. Why is Leinart's PR firm fighting this battle through TMZ and People Magazine? Brynn Cameron made a brief mention of Leinart's lack of parenting involvement to an obscure paper in Ventura and Leinart's people went into full attack mode.

Maybe if he would spend more time with his child and less time trying to be a Hollywood celebrity, he wouldn't look like such a douche bag.

TMZ is buying all the BS that Leinart's PR firm is dishing out about Brynn.

55. Holy christ almighty, that's a lot of money! I hope she spends a few of those dollars on the kid.

56. A reader said it the best when they stated something about how much Matt makes. That's not the point. The point is how much it truly costs to care for Cole. Sheis showing her true colors by asking for so much. In AZ the court can take up to 49% of the fathers income. Now seriously, is that really needed? Give him credit fo actually stepping up to take care of the baby. Didn't he buy her a car already? That was going above and beyond than he needed too!! She can tell her lawyer what she "needs" and not just a figure. I'm glad she's only getting the $15k. It should be less!!

57. i don't know either..but someone that would go with Paris and etc(I don't know)...some women would go with a toad if they have money(have seen a few with young wives out there)...give the guy looks and money..they come at them from all direction.....I think i read ...that he said Brynn..wasn't like that....he said she wasn't aware of his statis....i know she is from a sports family...(like her younger brother is doing well in football).....in Calif...if you have money you pay...and he should have been smart enough to know that...with his millions..he could have bought protection...the very best....so anyway...those rich...party guys....should be careful how they spread their seed...if they don't want them to take root

58. Jeez!! What a blood sucker. I bet she handed him a condom she poked a hole in with a needle too. Its not enough that women can trick a guy to pay for a kid they obviously did not want but they can screw them for 18 years.

There needs to be some real reform in this country around having a woman sign an agreement that if they do not get an abortion (of course paided for by the so called father or use the morning after pill) they are solely responsible for the child.

There are soooo many old laws on the books that need reform!! this is of course one of them!!

I hope they gave Matt a kiss cause he is getting screwed!

59. Why does the amount that Matt makes a year have any relationship to the amount of money it takes to raise a baby. The last I checked, these two met at USC. She got the same education that he did, is/was a student athlete, and it is worth noting, she comes from a family of means.

This is not a divorce settlement and this is not alimony, this is a child support payment and there are Saudi Princes that don't require $15k a month to keep them in the "good life."

Those of you who are comparing Matt's salary to the amount being paid are looking at this as if it is a punishment and that he should make some payment as a form of penance. Don't forget, the mom is responsible for the kids' upkeep and the payment thereof.

60. You all need to realize that its not Brynn asking for a certian amount, its the LAW.. Child support is 10% of the fathers income unless he or she makes over a million dollars then it is different. Matt pays a friend to live at his house around 5 thousand or so a month just so he does not get lonely. I think 12,500 is not going to hurt matt at all when he makes close to 700,000 a MONTH. Its both there fault for having this kid but know its Matt's turn to stop being immautre and realize he has a kid that will soon want a father to look up to not a father who is in love with one night stands with girls such as Paris and Brittany. Brynn is not a whore she was with him almost 2 years who does not have sex these days he obviously went in her knowin there was a chance so now the chance is here for him to stop being stupid and be a good father like he should be.
