Beyonce's Dad Ordered to Pay Child Support

Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles, has just been ordered to support baby Nixon, at least temporarily ... TMZ has learned.

Mathew Knowles

An L.A. judge just ordered Knowles to pay $8,200 a month in child support, retroactive to February 1. Knowles must also pay 100% of uninsured medical costs.

Alexsandra Wright claims she had an 18-month relationship with Knowles and he's the baby daddy of Nixon -- born February 4.

Wright's lawyer, Neal Hersh, went to court today asking for support and the judge granted it.

But Knowles will take a DNA test March 1 ... and the long-term support issues hinge on the outcome.

It's interesting -- Knowles has not flat out denied he's the daddy. And in fact, he gave Alexsandra $10,000 in January to cover uninsured medical costs and baby stuff.

UPDATE: The Judge ordered Knowles to pay Wright $20,750 for the month of January.

An earlier article TMZ carried about this, had this to say:

"For his part, Mathew has skirted the issue, telling TMZ, "We are not aware of the birth of a child. Mr. Knowles has never had a DNA test. These rumors are untrue."

He didn't know about the birth of a child, but he paid the mother for "uninsured medical costs and baby stuff".

Right.

Liar.

8,000 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! our justice system is so messed up... this is a great example of how our elected officials fail to amend laws. how can anyone justify 8,000+ dollars per month for a child ( a new born)

and i thought i had problems.

First..How can a judge rule for child support before the DNA test? Question for me to ask Harvey tomorrow..
But $8,200 a month..Why would a child need that much a month. My mother got like $200 a month for my brother and I. I know it goes by how much you make and alot of other things but you know damn well that money won't go all to that child..especially since she's already taking him to court 2 weeks after the baby was born. I think she just wants his $$$$$$$$.
He could have paid her the $10,000 for a bill and maybe to keep her mouth shut. If it's true...She's in the money!
