KATE GOSSELIN slams ex-hubby JON GOSSELIN’s claims of poverty – well, d’oh, says her att’y!
Jon’s claims that he can’t pay his rent because of child support has Kate’s legal rep in a huff.
Cheryl Young who repp’ed Kate in her ongoing legal battle with her ex-husband, asays Jon no longer has to pay a penny to Katie G, 37, for their eight children.
"I read Jon’s statement on RadarOnline.com and was quite surprised to read that he claims to be struggling to keep his child support payments current. As of April 27, 2012, Kate voluntarily relieved Jon of all current and future child support obligations for their eight children," she said.
The former reality hunk claimed that he is cash strapped and fearful of his ability to pay Kate for their children."I can't afford to pay my rent and the domestic-relations staff tells me they will put me in jail unless I pay child support.
"I am a single father who’s trying to make ends meet during a recession. What do I do — pay child support or rent? I need to support my kids, but I could lose my house, and I need my home to continue to have custody."
Kate's attorney disagrees with his claims, telling RadarOnline.com that “Kate and Jon talked and worked through all of these issues and she withdrew the child support.”
As for Jon’s claims that he is “going to end up in jail because I can't afford to pay child support to Kate who has plenty of money,” Cheryl Young explained that he still must pay any amount left over from prior to April 27.
“Currently, he is only paying a small amount of arrears for support that was not paid prior to the April date when she dropped support. Those payments will soon end meaning that Kate is the sole supporter of the parties’ children.”
