It’s About Time! Tami Roman Finally Settles Child Support Suit

September 3rd, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

It took nine years, i.e. too freaking long, but “Basketball Wives” star Tami Roman and her ex-husband have finally settled their child support drama.

According to TMZ:

Roman filed a lawsuit in New Jersey way back in 2005 against her ex, retired NBA star Kenny Anderson. Roman claimed he had stopped paying the court-ordered $8,500/month in child support for their two daughters — totaling $800k in missed payments.

Sources close to Tami tell TMZ … the two recently settled the case out of court. We’re told Tami received just south of what she was owed and will be paid incrementally through Kenny’s NBA retirement fund.

We’re told in return, all the warrants issued against Anderson for his unpaid child support were dropped.

It’s a shame Tami even had to file the lawsuit, which it looks like from TMZ’s timeline, it took her two years to even go through with. Apparently aside from taking care of his financial fatherly duties, Kenny is also coming around his two dauthers more and actually being an active parent in their lives. Maybe she can talk to “Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” Sheree about how to get those child support dollars out of Bob Whitfield.

    Not to completely go off-topic, but this is the only picture I’ve seen of Tami where she looks absolutely beautiful and I (almost) forget how crazy she is.

    And I don’t have ALL name brands, hate shopping, and never, ever waste money on expensive clothes, purses ( Coach, etc). I like ” Ross” and ” Macy’s sale rack. But if i want to I could. Well, I do have a pair of ” Prada ” transition lens glasses that My ex-husband bought for me when we were married…..I rarely wear them. * shrug*

    • MzSinCity513

      Ok lady…enjoy life :-)

  • MLS2698

    Ladies, DO NOT let these men get away without paying for THEIR children. I remember being separated, going to school full time, and working a part-time job, when my soon-to-be ex-husband had started not giving me the child support that the courts ordered. Let me tell you, things got real tough trying to pay the bills, and provide for OUR son. I got fed up one day when I had to buy one too many packages of 99 cent cookies for my son, when my baby was used to ” Nabisco!” and ” Keeblers!” I was even on the verge of applying for food stamps. But I went back to the courts, and had them take the funds out of my ex’s check without him even seeing it. And today, I tell women about the process and how to get their support. Never, ever trust a man to put child support payments in your hand, cause you will only look like a street beggar holding your hand out waiting for them to act!

    • MzSinCity513

      What’s wrong with 99 cent cookies? There are two parent families that can’t afford Nabisco and Keeblers….

      • MLS2698

        Oh, goodness! I knew someone would say that. Look, 99 cent cookies are alright, but if you have ever had a brand that uses better products, like real butter, and real flavoring, you can only take so much of the non-brand that just says “cookies.” It’s not like you are buying cookies every day, and sometimes you have to splurge. If we could afford the cookies before the divorce, we/my baby should be able to have them afterwards! And this really isn’t about cookies, but MY MONEY, and to buy what I WANT and need! * on the way to buy vanilla Oreos *

        • Yep

          Wow… “MY MONEY and to buy what I WANT and need!”… Hope the kids also benefit from the money too and you’re not walking around looking fly, why the kids look homeless… The most important thing is that both parents are involved, PHYSICALLY, with the kids and not just financially. Kids are not just another form of a paycheck… When my parents were divorced, I have no idea how much he paid in child support, but I do remember all the time he spent with us.

          • MLS2698

            Actually, my son is grown now. And ” fly” is not even in my vocab. My ex-husband was off into his mistress, and trying to get her to move into his new apartment with him, so seeing OUR son was not a priority. And no, kids are not a paycheck, but my alimony IS. I had a mortgage to pay also, which was the home me and my son lived in. Please don’t assume every poster is a money hungry, acrylic nail wearing, weave rocking, gotta have some
            Gucci to keep me fly woman. Thanks for your input, though.

        Nothing wrong with 99 cent cookies, but if he’s eating oreos then his kids should be able to eat them too!

        • MLS2698

          Yes! Everyone was all on Chris Bosh about his child outside of marriage not having the same lifestyle as the child with his wife, and I couldn’t have cookies for my son ????? Um, no! We gettin’ some Oreos!

          • MzSinCity513

            You’re bitter that he had a mistress and left you…again..I’m not saying he shouldn’t equally help provide for your child, but if a woman is upset about the situation that she has found herself in and tries to get back at a man with child support i.e.800K..I’m too good for 99 cent cookies aka why are you comparing your lifestyle with anyone else’s??? You’re SALTY him and wifey live good? You’re right…you deserve Oreos…but why stop there get some PeppeRidge Farms lol

            • MLS2698

              What are you talking about? Let me clarify things: I will have been divorced for 5 years next month, and my son is 21, so I no longer get payments for child support. I currently get alimony, and my ex-husband is NOT currently married. My lawyers, who only represent women, are the ones who drew up the separation agreement based on my ex-husbands salary as an electrician, so I wasn’t foaming at the mouth with dollar signs in my eyes. When these types of post come up, I usually speak in a manner to which I can help other women who are PRESENTLY going through the same situation; and I WILL help Clarkj90. These post, except for this one, really do not parallel my life 100%. I WAS WIFE for 17 years, but nothing can compare to the peace of mind from being drama free/STD/HIV/AIDS FREE. And I have absolutely no regrets ( not salty) about filing for divorce. I had the PeppeRidge Farm chocolate chip with coconut two weeks ago ( thought they were soft, but dunking them in milk solved the problem). Stop making things up for posters you know nothing about. Oh, you gon’ learn today!

              • MzSinCity513

                The fact that you just ran down your resume to a stranger confirms what I was saying about you. Shout out to the Moderators for deleting my other comment! It was CLEARLY only about the money for you and Tami for that manner thats why she got her 800K. You got your cookies and she got her money but I hope the kids got more…And oh…you ain’t taught me nothin.

                • MLS2698

                  You must be a baby mama. And I’m still a stranger to you. Do you know my name? Who’s salty now?

                  • MzSinCity513

                    See…that’s where you’re wrong…I’m married..I work for a billion dollar company and I have TWO Bachelor Degrees…I simply asked YOU why you mentioned 99 cent cookies…then as you continued to type and it became more and more clear. I’ve never been a baby mama…but YOU’RE one…as I dust my shirt off

                    • MLS2698

                      Don’t think you can’t find your self in divorce court with your two degrees and your billion dollar company because YOUR husband gets a mistress ( happens all the time) Who is posting resume-like words, now? I never mentioned degrees and jobs, so I wasn’t sure where you go resume from, but I did mention experiences that could help other women.

                    • MzSinCity513

                      I hope you found a man..because if not you need to find one…and if you do have one…well…you believe in God, so just KEEP praying for him. SMH…ok lady.

                    • MLS2698

                      Nope. Haven’t been looking. Sorry to have bothered you with all those post, but I just realized that maybe your husband is paying child support, or alimony and it may have struck a nerve. I’m on break from school until Wednesday, so after that, I won’t have time to chat ( bored). No hard feelings because I am an advocate for women, and the last thing I try to do is demean. You want a cookie?

                    • MzSinCity513

                      sheesh! You just don’t get it…my REAL life situation DOES NOT relate to YOU or TAMI AT ALL!! I read the article, your comments, and I see I pissed on your favorite cookies when I asked you a question…I’m enjoying my Labor Day off work..after I close my laptop I won’t have time for your problems or Tami’s….I got my own cookies…but thanks!

                    • MLS2698

                      No, you don’t get it. A separation agreement is a binding contract, and my ex signed it. HE STILL HAS TO PAY ME, AND THAT’S CALLED TCB! Happy Labor Day. Are you cooking out?

                    • MzSinCity513

                      You’re talking about alimony and this article is about child support…you already admitted you no longer receive child support so whats your purpose at this point? To encourage women….I don’t need it but I’ll remember your @ss if I get in your situation…Hurricane Isaac messed up the bbq plans..

                    • MLS2698

                      Child support and alimony come hand in hand ( the same agency collects both), and I’ve gotten both. I’m glad you see that you CAN be in that situation. And just to make a note: my alimony was more than my sons child support. Most women don’t know about either, so that’s why they get attitudes. We’ll see if you have the same story in 7 years. That’s too bad about the BBQ, Stay safe.

                    • MzSinCity513

                      Yup…you right

                • MLS2698

                  You’re three kinds of strange. When I first met my ex-husband, he didn’t have a car, couldn’t drive, and didn’t know how to write checks (he was from the hood). He was NO NBA player.

              • MLS2698

                Oh, I forgot to add, since you know about how my ex is living: on my way to school, I was riding the light-rail in my city, I saw my ex standing at the bus stop like a sucker, on his way to work ( something he has never had to do since he was a teen, because we always had nice cars when married), so I don’t know how that is a come up.

                • MzSinCity513

                  Be better not bitter…lol…this article isn’t about you at the end of the day. You laughing at that man because he’s on the bus? Smh…hope you stay on top forever

                  • MLS2698

                    I believe in God, but for someone like you, I will use the word Karma to describe why I parked the car that used to be OURS at the lot where I rode the light-rail free, which my school provides a year-round pass for, so that I can keep the miles and gas bill down on MY car. So, I wasn’t laughing, just pointing out the facts. And those who strive to do right can always stay on top of evil.

                    • MzSinCity513

                      THIS ARTICLE ISN’T ABOUT YOU!!! Tami didn’t need to collect 800K from HER ex husband! But in your case, if you got $800 and spent $700 on COOKIES..YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED…right? I was just saying the KIDS are the true victims and these high settlements cost CHILDREN their FATHERS. I watched Tami on tv and I’m watching your @ss right now…both are hilarious!!

                    • MLS2698

                      Didn’t one of Tami’s daughter’s just graduate high school or something? So do you think she should not get money that wasn’t paid all of those years? Her daughter is grown, but the debt is still there. And the only thing that cost children their fathers are ignorant fathers who don’t pay support, or see their children.

    • clarkj90

      MLS2698…Please share with me the “process”. I have five year old twins and their dad pays when he chooses to. And yes, his child support is court ordered. Please meail me at clarkj90@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance.

      • MLS2698

        Situations vary, but the first thing you need is to get TOUGH, and keep your emotions out of it; this is about money, not love, hate, or the past. Will email you soon.

  • toasty

    I hope I marry the right man and will never have to go through this, I can only imagine how difficult it must be to be a single mother doing everything on your own. Divorce is a truly bitter pill to swallow, glad its finally over with for her and she can now turn a new page in her life. All the best Tami
