Court hearing set in Terrell Owens' child support case
For the AJC
ATLANTA — Authorities say a court hearing has been set for later this month after the mother of NFL star Terrell Owens' child accused him of not paying all of the child support owed to her family.
A Fulton County Superior Court judge set a July 26 hearing to consider Melanie Paige Smith's request that Owens be held in contempt of court.
Smith's Atlanta lawyer Randall Kessler said in court papers that Owens has refused to pay his full $5,000 monthly payment.
Kessler said Friday that he's hoping to hear from Owens or his representatives to clear up the matter.
Owens, a free agent, is recovering from knee surgery and can't sign with a team until the NFL lockout is resolved. Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, didn't return messages seeking comment.
