*Now that Carlos Boozer is no longer receiving NBA checks, the former two-time NBA all-star has negotiated a dramatic reduction in child support payments for his three children.
According to The Blast, Boozer made around $146 million during his NBA career – which included stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers before playing pro ball overseas. But with that money now gone, Boozer could no longer afford the $8000 monthly payments sent to his ex-wife, Cindy Boozer.
Boozer reportedly asked the court earlier this year to decrease the amount from $8,000 to a mere $380 a month for his three children.
Via The Blast:
When he agreed to pay the $8k, he was playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and he expected to continue his career but did not get any offers. He ended up playing in China in 2016 but announced his retirement in December of 2017.
The original agreement had a provision that allowed him to ask for a decrease if his income dropped and he moved back to Florida. Cindy originally demanded his motion be dismissed and support not be modified.
But Carlos and Cindy attended mediation where they were ultimately able to settle their issues. Per their new deal, they will now split custody 50/50 and Carlos will only pay a total of $382 a month in support for the kids.
The amount is based on Carlos’ income of $19k a month and Cindy ballin’ herself with $15k a month in income. He will also pay his ex-wife $10,000 to cover arrearages owed for other child expenses.
The entire case was resolved and closed following the settlement.
The couple’s messy divorce came after Carlos had an affair with a contestant from “The Bachelor.” He and Cindy remarried briefly before he filed for divorce for good in 2012.
