Mathew Knowles, father and manager of singer Beyonce Knowles (and father-in-law of rapper Jay-Z), has been ordered to pay Alexsandra Wright $8,200 a month in child support for her son Nixon Wright. Little Nixon was born on February 4, 2010. The child support order is a temporary one though.

Earlier this week, a Los Angeles judge issued the support order, retroactive to February 1. Knowles must also pay 100% of uninsured medical costs related to Wright’s pregnancy and childbirth as well as other baby-related expenses, setting the figure at $20,750 for the month of January. Knowles reportedly already paid about $10,000 for hospital bills.

Wright claims she had an 18-month relationship with Knowles and he is Nixon’s father. Knowles has not denied paternity (but has not admitted it either). A DNA test is scheduled for March 1.

Wright is represented by family law attorney Neal Hersh. Knowles’ attorney is celebrity lawyer Lance Spiegel.

Mathew Knowles is currently involved in another family law matter as well – a divorce from his wife of many years, Tina Knowles.
