TMZ<\/em> reports<\/a> that Tristan Thompson and Maralee Nichols have reached an accord.<\/p>\nTristan already confessed to having fathered Theo \u2014 despite previously fighting the claim in court.<\/p>\n
Now, instead of settling the matter of paternity, the matter was a paternity settlement.<\/p>\nPhoto via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAccording to the report \u2014 and this is TMZ<\/em>, which makes it pretty darn credible \u2014 Tristan will pay a tremendous amount each month.<\/p>\nSpecifically, he will send $9,500 a month in child support. That amounts to more than $100,000 a year.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Tristan has agreed to cover some of Maralee\u2019s legal fees. Attorneys do not come cheap.<\/p>\nKeeping Up With The Kardashians Season 19 star Tristan Thompson hears a blunt concern from his (second) baby mama.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOn the one hand, $9,500 a month is \u201clow\u201d given Tristan\u2019s spectacular earnings.<\/p>\n
Tristan\u2019s NBA contracts have added up to around $100 million during his high profile career.<\/p>\n
A six-figure annual sum is not that much by those standards.<\/p>\nBut we are talking about child support for just one kid \u2014 Theo is currently one, and has limited needs at present.<\/p>\n
Also, Tristan is not actually playing on a team right now. That means that he does not currently have any income.<\/p>\n
There are exceptions (some famous), but income is generally a major factor in determining child support.<\/p>\nTristan Thompson may be the horniest athlete in all of sports. And that\u2019s saying a lot!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTristan and Maralee worked out more than just that financial arrangement.<\/p>\n
Maralee will have sole custody of Theo.<\/p>\n
Tristan has multiple children by nearly as many mothers, so that seems sensible.<\/p>\nTristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian\u2019s relationship has under a great deal of strain lately. Fortunately, Tristan knows how to take the edge off.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe two will work out a formal visitation plan \u2014 not now, but in the near future.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Maralee will now list Tristan as the father on Theo\u2019s birth certificate.<\/p>\n
Unless anything went awry, they filed the paternity settlement in Los Angeles County Superior Court late this week.<\/p>\nMaralee Nichols is one month postpartum in this photo. And looking great!!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTwelve months ago, Maralee gave birth to Theo.<\/p>\n
She had already notified Tristan. He had had months and months to inform Khloe that he had a child on the way.<\/p>\n
Instead, he kept Maralee\u2019s pregnancy and the cheating that led to it a secret. Oh, and he went through with IVF to bring a child into the world with Khloe.<\/p>\nReports have said that Tristan offered to bribe Maralee to terminate her pregnancy and to keep it secret.<\/p>\n
Allegedly, he offered to pay her $75,000.<\/p>\n
We won\u2019t boil down Maralee\u2019s decision to a financial one. But \u2026 at $9,500 a month, she\u2019ll have more than that in 8 months. Again, it\u2019s not that simple, but it\u2019s something to consider.<\/p>\nTristan Thompson instagram \u2013 https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CQok4UlLuzJ\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt was only in January that Tristan publicly confessed to having fathered Maralee\u2019s baby.<\/p>\n
Then, in July, Khloe\u2019s gestational carrier gave birth to her and Tristan\u2019s second child.<\/p>\n
The two are now co-parents to True and to their son. The awkwardness will seemingly never end.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
