The Perks of being a Basketball Wife
via the Miami Herald
As Chris Bosh prepares for the Miami Heat's third game in the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, his baby mama.... has applied for food stamps..
In her first interview about the legal battle that Bosh and former live-in galpal Allison Matthishave been waging in three states, Matthis' lawyer says Orlando resident Matthis was laid off from her gig as a secretary in a construction company and this week applied for federal food assistance.
Mathis is also expecting to see her home go into foreclosure because the child support Bosh is paying doesn’t cover her mortgage!
What’s more, the tall-head’s request to take his and Mathis’ three-year-old daughter to London this summer to watch him play in the Olympics has been denied by an Orlando judge.
But if you believe Mathis’ lawyer, there’s a good reason for the denial.
“He wants to take his daughter across the world for a photo op,” said Orlando family law attorney Jane E. Carey. “It’s just for a photo op. He doesn’t care. He hasn’t been decent to my client and his daughter.”
Carey talked publicly about the case for the first time today because, she says, she’s tired of the 28-year-old Bosh — who got married last year to Adrienne Bosh and recently celebrated the birth of their son.
For two years, the ball player has been battling Mathis in courts in Orange County (Florida), California and Texas on anything from child support to banning her appearance from VH-1’s Basketball Wives to how much time he spends with the child.
Things, however, have changed since Mathis lost her job.
Believe it or not, says Carey, Bosh pays her a mere $2,600-a-month in child support!
According to state guidelines, someone like Bosh whose yearly salary is in the $18 million-range should be paying about $30,000-a-month. So Carey asked a judge to adjust the child support.
Meanwhile, she says, Bosh shouldn’t be allowed to take a three-year-old to London for three weeks.
“My client just lost her job and applied for food stamps for her and Mr. Bosh’s daughter. She’s about to be foreclosed on, he won’t help her and all he wants to do is go to London with his daughter. Are you kidding?”
Two lawyers in Orlando who rep Bosh did not return calls and emails requesting comment.

Child Support is just that. Support. If you are worth $18 Mil annually, you need to be more responsible with your body due to outcomes like these. They are both at fault for several things. But the FAIL card goes to Bosh because he's doesn't want to support his child outside of legal involvement. It shouldn't be stories like these if you are worth so much. If he truly LOVED his child, he would fight for custody and continue on with his celebrity lifestyle if he could prove she was trying to live off of the MONEY he supports his child with.

$2600 a month anit NO MONEY. That does Not pay for school, food, childcare, clothes, books. Please, he needs to pay according to his income....like every other Dad in America. And I'm sure that's not ALL of her income.

I am sorry. I think that if she is making $2600 tax free a month, she should be able to live comfortably. I mean you can't have a lavish lifestyle, but if you didn't have it before him, then you should have that just the same after him. That's what happens when you try to ride on the coat tails of somebody else's money. She should have had her own to begin with and if he was paying all the bills while they were shacking, then she should have put all her money away. Save yours, spend his.

I thought child support was for the expenses of the child not the mortgage & Utilities. I'm pretty sure it was the judge who set the monthly amount $2,600 not. Bosh. If she can get the $30,000 then good for her but he wants to take his daughter to London he should be able to take her. Its not cool to hold the child back from seeing the world just because she's having issues with the dad. She pulled that same mess last year during playOff's...smh. That's what happens when you shack up & have kids instead of getting married.

Wow. Chris Bosh should be ashamed of himself. What man does this to the mother of his child? Especially one you had a long term relationship with. Where are the men telling Chris his behavior is not cool?
