Sean “P. Diddy”
Combs lost his court battle with the mother of his first child, fashion stylist
Misa Brim and has been ordered to pay $35,000 a month in child support.
The decision was
released in a 13-page decision by a Westchester County, New York Family Court
judge yesterday (October 5th).
The ruling is based
on Combs’ yearly income of almost $50 million dollars. Additionally, Combs
must pay more than $398,000 in retroactive support and all medical, dental and
educational expenses for Justin.
The monthly payments that
Combs pays to his children are believed to be the highest amount of child support
paid out in the entire country.
Combs’ lawyer
labeled the decision a “gross abuse of discretion by the court,”
and vowed to appeal the case.
Last month Combs spoke about
Brim and questioned her motivations for requesting an increase in her child
support.
Combs said that Brim wanted
the same amount that he pays to his current love interest Kim Porter, who bore
his second son Christian.
He added that Brim
wanted more money because she was going through a divorce and labeled the payments
“adult support.”
Combs added that it was
not realistic for anyone to think any of his children would ever want or need
for anything.
