The rapper Gucci Mane may be facing tough times with the law due to a sentence for battery, as noted by FindLaw's Celebrity Justice, but that did not prevent him from coming through on his child support.
Gucci Mane -- whose real name is Radric Davis -- recently entered into a child support agreement with his baby mama Sheena Evans in a Georgia court, reports TMZ. Gucci Mane will be paying $2,026 a month to help pay for his 4-year-old son.
It was reported that Gucci makes $24,908 a month.
Reports the website:
It was pretty amicable all around — both sides also agreed to let Sheena take primary physical custody … giving Gucci visitation as his schedule permits.
This is positive news for Gucci and his fans, even though Gucci is facing a civil suit separately, reports 11 Alive. That suit arises from the same incident that got him incarcerated. Allegedly, Gucci picked up a woman at a mall and now stands accused of battering her.
If the civil suit and the incarceration has a negative effect on Gucci’s earning powers and he starts making less than then five-figures he’s making per month currently, then he might feel inclined to try and modify his child support obligations.
In tough financial situations, it is good policy to act quickly and seek out an attorney experienced in engaging in child support modifications. One important element of adjusting child support, is to continue paying as much as you can in the meantime, so you can show the court that you maded an effort.
Gucci Mane may be familiar with a criminal law attorney; but he should be more familiar with family law attorneys in the area.
