chrisbosh 500x500 Chris Bosh Claims Texas As His State of Residency to Avoid Increase In Child Support

Back in June, Allison Mathis (the mother of Chris Bosh’s daughter), came forward with allegations that Bosh refused to pay her anything over $2,600 a month in child support, forcing her to apply for food stamps and government assistance, while Bosh racks up more than $18 million a year and lives in a 12,000 sq. foot Florida mansion (worth $12 million) with his wife, Adrienne.

Mathis has applied for an increase in child support, because in the state of Florida he would be forced to pay her 3% of his take home pay (around $30,000 a month), where as in Texas, a judge is willing to let him slide paying $2,600.

Bosh and his lawyers have filed court documents in Orlando, fighting hard to keep Texas as his legal state of residency. Claiming a 1,900 sq. foot home he owns in Dallas (worth around $73,000) as his residence (meanwhile, living and working in Florida with his wife and newborn child), just to avoid an increase in his responsibilities.

Do you think these judges give athletes a pass, just because of their notoriety or do you think he’s justified in not wanting to pay more child support? Post your thoughts!
