Georgia woman must repay support payments to ex-NBA player
For The AJC
MOBILE, Ala. -- A Georgia woman is personally liable to seeking child support payments from former pro basketball player Jason Caffey after he had filed for bankruptcy protection.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Margaret A. Mahoney ordered Karen Russell to pay Caffey $57,470.50 after determining that an arrest warrant issued against the former Davidson High School standout violated rules prohibiting creditors from seeking debt collection during bankruptcy proceedings.
Russell's attorney, Penny Douglas Furr, says she plans an appeal.
Caffey once starred at the University of Alabama before playing seven years in the NBA. Lately, he's known more for fathering 10 children by eight different women. Many of those women — including Russell — have sued for child support, which prompted him to file for Chapter 11 protection in August 2007.
