Father of Nine: "Hep Me, Hep Me, Please!"
Travis Henry, right.
Former professional football player Travis Henry, who fathered nine children by nine women, returned to DeKalb County Superior Court on Wednesday to try to reduce child support payments for one son.
Henry, who also faces federal drug charges, wants to modify an order to pay $3,000 a month to the mother, Jameshia Beacham. His lawyer said the amount should be reduced now that Henry is unemployed — and likely out of the National Football League for good.
Atlanta attorney Randall M. Kessler said Henry didn’t get rehired by the Denver Broncos because of his age — he’s 30 — and because of an injury.
“He’s got child support obligations across the country, and he’s got zero income,” Kessler told Judge Clarence Seeliger.
Seeliger set the monthly payment amount last year, when Henry was working as a running back. The judge also ordered Henry to establish a $250,000 trust fund by last spring. The judge’s order noted that Henry had squandered money, spending $100,000 for a car and $146,000 for jewelry, and said the fund was required as backup should Henry fail to make payments.
Henry appealed that order, and the Georgia Court of Appeals recently agreed to hear the case.
Robert Wellon, the lawyer for the mother, argued against reducing the monthly payments. He asked for documentation about how much Henry has spent from a $3 million payment the player received this year. He also asked the judge for time to determine whether Henry’s dismissal from the Broncos was involuntary or whether he precipitated it by his own actions.
Seeliger agreed to Wellon’s request. The next hearing has not been scheduled.
Following his release by the Broncos, Henry was arrested last month in an alleged cocaine deal. He was released on $400,000 bond.
