Child support deals usually make headlines for the money, but this one comes with a travel credit. According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, Terrell Owens reached an arrangement with Melanie, one of the mothers of his four children, that ties part of his payment to time spent with their daughter.
Per the documents, Owens pays $2,250 per month in child support. If he flies to Georgia and spends at least six hours with his daughter, he can deduct the cost of the flight, up to $250, from the following month’s payment. The credit can be used up to three times a year and no more than once a month.
TMZ Sports did not include a statement from Owens or his representatives, and we have not heard from them either. The arrangement is described as a way to make visits easier for both sides.
Whatever the reason behind it, the deal puts a clear incentive on one thing: more time together for a father and his daughter. We will update you if Owens or his team responds.
