Bobby Brown ordered to pay $63,000
in child support or face jail time
CANTON, Mass.- A family court judge ordered singer Bobby Brown jailed for 90
days or until he can come up $63,000 in child support payments he owes the
mother of two children he fathered.
Brown, who was temporarily released from a Georgia jail so he could attend
the contempt hearing at Norfolk Probate and Family Court, was crying as he
was led from the courtroom. He was to be taken to Norfolk County House of
Correction in Dedham.
Judge Paula Carey issued the ruling after Brown testified that he was unable
to pay the child support he owes. He allegedly owes the back child support
for two children, now 12 and 14, that he fathered with Kim Ward, of
Stoughton.
The singer was released from a Georgia
jail Monday to attend Wednesday's hearing. He likely didn't help his case
when he showed up four hours late.
