In July 2008, Parker filed a motion to modify the child support judgment because the original, in place since 1996, covered just two of their three children. (Not sure if Parker also mentioned the fact that 14 years have passed and Flav achieved new fame and earning-potential after becoming a VH1 “reality” show spectacle.) She won an appeal in January increasing Flav’s payments from $117 to $837.72 a week for child support, plus tuition for the kids’ private school, retroactive to the 2008 filing.

“The judgment is recent as I was just made aware of it,” Flav said, adding, “I’ll certainly be addressing it. However, I’ve made payments on my children’s tuition, and have made direct payment to the mother outside of the court order.”

Although the $63,000 figure does make Flav sound like a pretty serious deadbeat, his statement actually has the ring of truth. $837.72 a week over the course of a year and a half totals just over $65,000. So, the retroactive nature of the new child support order automatically created the delinquency.

Not sure what Flav’s status is with his other child support orders. He has seven kids (including the three with Parker) by three different women. The youngest is three years old. The oldest, who is in her 20s, has two children of her own – making Flav (age 50) a grandfather.
