T.I. Ordered To Pay Additional Child Support
The Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting rapper T.I. (aka Clifford Harris) has been ordered to pay more child support. The mother of his two sons, LaShon Dixon, claimed she was not getting enough support and a Superior Court judge agreed. Dixon will now receive $5,000 a month instead of the $3,000 she was previously awarded. However, T.I. will no longer be financially responsible for the children’s private school education. The parties will continue to have joint legal custody of the children with T.I. having visitation with the children every other weekend.
Clearly there was a trade off with the child support being increased, but the payment for private school tuition being eliminated. T.I. may actually wind up paying less child support than he was under the previous order, given the cost of private school tuition for two children. Presumably if Dixon enrolls the children in private school, she will now be solely responsible for the cost.
