Usher Asks Judge To Lower Child Support Payments

Usher took away the kids and now he’s trying to take away the child support.

Usher Asks Judge To Lower Child Support Payments

Poor Tameka. We know she is ready to pop a vein. Only $8,000 though?

According to TMZ

Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Raymond were on the brink of war BEFORE their son almost drowned in a pool … and it was all over child support payments, TMZ has learned.

Usher filed legal docs earlier this month asking a judge to lower his child support payment to Tameka. As it stood, Usher was shelling out $8,000 / month for the couple’s 2 sons … which he claims is BS.

Here’s why … Usher says that child support amount is from an old agreement and hasn’t been changed since he was granted PRIMARY custody last year. He says he’s been overpaying the last 7 months and wants a judge to remedy the situation.

Usher requested a hearing on the matter — but so far, no date has been set.

TMZ broke the story … Tameka and Usher were ALREADY in court this week, battling over custody. Tameka asked a judge to grant her MORE custody — claiming Usher’s to blame for their son’s pool accident — but she was shot down.

Technically, Usher does have primary custody so he shouldn’t be paying that much child support. Do you think Usher’s request is reasonable?
