Antonio Cromartie Accused Baby Mama Of Not Telling Him She Was Headed To Jail
Baby Mama Wants Player Barred From Moving Assets In Child Support Case
Antonio Cromartie and his first baby mama custody and support battle over this son is turning nasty.
The NFL free agent has accused his child’s mother of failing to tell him she would be incarcerated, and she’s demanded an injunction barring him from transferring or selling off his assets before the case was resolved.
Cromartie and his baby mama Rosemita Pierre have battled it out for years over his first child Alonzo. He now has 13 children in total.
The NFL star’s rep has stated that Cromartie was awarded custody of their son in 2009. In 2012, Pierre blasted Cromartie in the press saying, “He’s supposedly a role model, but he’s not doing what he should be doing as a father, or as a man.”
She claimed the NFL star had been trying to gain custody of their son Alonzo and said he interfered with her communicating with their kid.
In January, the judge in their custody battle determined the mother was fit to resume taking care of their kid and awarded her child support, makeup time and custody. Cromartie was also ordered to pay the baby mama $4,000 a month in child support but he appealed the judge’s decision he did not make the payments. The court then issued a warrant for his failure to pay the support.
Months later, he reportedly used a portion of his new $3 million deal with the Colts to pay off a child support dispute with Pierre and a court ordered warrant was withdrawn as a result.
The battle between the NFL and his baby mama is much nastier than reported, revealed in court docs filed recently by the parties.
Earlier this year, Cromartie filed docs explaining Pierre didn’t bother telling him she was going to be incarcerated despite them sharing custody of their son.
The NFL star blasted Pierre for not informing him and for her continued criminal behavior.
Pierre fired back demanding the court order Cromartie to pay $26,395.50 in temporary appellate fees.
Things got so bad that Pierre filed a motion for a temporary injunction against Cromartie pointing out his continued attempts to delay the case or refusal to pay court ordered fees or costs.
She explained at the time he had $5.6 million in a brokerage account, $40,000 in bank accounts, $500,000 in retirement accounts and $1.2 million in real estate assets. Pierre also said her baby’s father was earning $466,255 monthly income and no evidence of debt.
Pierre demanded the judge order Cromartie not be allowed to make any substantial withdrawals from his bank accounts or incur any additional debt, along with an order banning him from destroying or altering any financial records in his possession.
Late last year, Cromartie filed his financial information explaining his monthly income is $416,666 with $166,666 in bonuses. He pays $194,088 in taxes per month and $9,000 for Medicare along with $21,800 in child support, leaving him with $356,151.
The legal battle – which Cromartie filed in 2005 – is still raging on in Florida Court and the two will face off soon in court.
