Deion Sanders ordered to pay $14K a month to wife

Deion Sanders has been ordered to pay $14,000 a month to his estranged wife, USA Today reports.

The former Atlanta Falcons star is embroiled in a nasty divorce with Pilar Sanders, and a Texas judge has ordered him to pay $10,500 a month in child support along with $3,500 a month in mortgage payments, the newspaper reported. On top of that, he has to pay her $275,000 in legal expenses.

Deion will retain custody of the couples' son, while the daughter remains with Pilar, USA Today said. The final custody agreement will be worked out later.

Pilar was forced to move out of Deion's mansion after a judge imposed a 500-foot restraining order on her following a domestic incident. Until then, the entire family had been living in different parts of the mansion during the divorce proceedings.
