Ex-NBA Earl Watson: I Shouldn’t Pay in Divorce Cause Wife is Failed Actress by Robert Littal | Posted on Sunday, March 1st, 2015
It had been a long time since I thought about the show “My Wife and Kids” with Damon Wayans, but according to Ex-NBA point guard Earl Watson, he shouldn’t have to pay his wife a bunch of money because she couldn’t find jobs after the show.
Watson has gone to battle with Jennifer Freeman — who starred as Claire Kyle on “My Wife and Kids” back in the early 2000s. They have a 5-year-old daughter together.
The two are warring over cash — she claims she deserves way more than the court-ordered $2,500-per-month in child support since he’s rich. He claims he’s not as ballin’ as he used to be … because he’s retired from the NBA and only making $30k per year as a coach in the NBA’s D-league.
But in new court docs filed in L.A County Superior Court, Watson also included a few digs at Freeman’s acting career … saying, “She has not been employed on a full-time basis since appearing in the early 2000s on the television show ‘My Wife and Kids.'”
“She has secured sporadic acting roles for which she has received nominal remuneration. Her last paying job was in Nov. 2014 when she appeared on the Real Husbands of Hollywood.”
Watson also said she attacked him with an iron back in 2010.
Good luck with all that.

ENCINO HOME INVASION: 4 MEN IN SKI MASKS HOLD ELDERLY COUPLE AT GUNPOINT
Tuesday, February 24, 2015 12:42PM ENCINO, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles police were searching Tuesday for four men who wore ski masks and held an elderly couple at gunpoint during a home invasion in Encino.
The suspects broke in through the back door of a home in the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue at about 10:30 p.m. Monday. They allegedly detained the owner and his wife with handcuffs, police said.
Authorities believe that one suspect brandished a handgun, while another had a screwdriver. All four were wearing ski masks.
The homeowners were not injured. The suspects, however, fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of jewelry and cash.
The property belongs to former UCLA and NBA basketball player Earl Watson, who was renting out the home to the couple. It was unclear if he was the target of the burglary.
Police were investigating surveillance videos that may have caught the suspects leave the scene.

he made 42 million over a 15 yr career and with get a 200k pension when he hits retirement age if he wants to be nice he should probably offer to pay for private school or something but 30k a year + insurance is not bad at all
8. "That ain't a lot of money, off top over half of that 42 mil went to taxe..." In response to Reply # 6
agent/account/attorney fees.
So he probably had like 20 mil over 14 years to play with, if he was dating and marrying actresses in LA he probably tricked most of that off, lol...

11. "yea that's why i think the judgement is reasonable" In response to Reply # 8
the judge didn't get gassed up off the fact he made x amount in x year and seemingly looked at his potential earnings/standard of living here on out and gave a proper judgement

and actually how this works is if she has custody her career wouldn't actually be taking off he should make a case for custody then he might be onto something in a few years if then her career doesn't take off ~~~~ When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices.

The most expensive school in LA on that list is about $30k/year. Will the kid burst into flames if it goes to a $8k/yr school?
I hat this argument because all of a sudden, because of divorce the kid needs $30k schooling, $12k worth of clothes a year (including $600 baby Uggs), and $40k of transportation expenses.
Meanwhile, 95% of America's kids get by with far FAR less (I just made that % up, btw). Expecting THE BEST (AKA the most expensive) just because sounds frivolous and is probably the wrapping for a bunch of ulterior motives.

haha, maybe not as an actor because that doesn't seem to be going very well. but i'm sure she can gain employment and an additional 2500 a month would be like having 2 jobs.
21. "The WORST part of this logic is that it assumes the dude ain't shit..." In response to Reply # 18 Mon Mar-02-15 02:07 PM by 8-bit
Like he's just forking over 2.5k per month and not doing shit else with his child. He could have his kid 4 days a week, paying for all of his/her shit and STILL have to pay child support.
This is one reason why the child support system is fucked-up. No credit for the father handling his business outside of the courts, and no oversight on how the money he does pay is spent. It's automatically assumed that he's the "bad guy."

honestly though 2500 a month ain't *that* bad all things considered. they are obviously basing that award off some compromise between recent and current earnings. he should whittle it down and take it. imagine if he succeeds in the d league and gets a head coaching job. then he will be pulling in a lot of money again
