wow. rielle hunter is one seriously greedy pos

[cali]

Rielle Hunter wants John Edwards to pay $17,910 a month in child support for her daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, according to the National Enquirer. Private financial negotiations between Hunter and Edwards reportedly broke down last week when her demands for the 22-month-old child were more than the former senator and presidential candidate was willing to pay.

Edwards has never publicly acknowledged that he is the girl's father, but did admit to an affair with Hunter at a time when his wife, Elizabeth, was battling cancer.

Now, legal documents obtained by Radaronline.com appear to show communication between Hunter and her attorney, Frank Louis, preparing to sue Edwards for $214,920 in annual child support.

The documents indicate Hunter is not employed -- and do not factor in any income from her -- but say she spends $2,100 a month on babysitting and will pay $1,500 a month for private preschool.

It is unclear how Hunter now affords her $11,560 in monthly expenses, but it has been speculated that she is living off a temporary financial agreement with Edwards. The documents also prompt questions as to why Hunter would need a full-time nanny if her child is in preschool and she does not work.

Hunter's other monthly expenses for herself and daughter – whom the lawyer refers to as "Quinn" -- seem extremely high: $600 for clothes, $800 for vacations, $800 on restaurants and $500 for entertainment. What kind of vacations the mother and daughter take that would cost $9,600 a year is not explained.

1. I don't spend $2,100 a month on my mortgage, insurance, utilities + car payment

Stay home and RAISE YOUR OWN CHILD, you greedy woman. $2,100? I don't blame Edwards from balking.

[LisaL]

24. If it is his child, shouldn't he support the child?

The money in child support depend on the income of the father.
If the father has a lot of money, the child support payments go up.

[Ruby the Liberal]

28. So you think that is reasonable?

Way to set an example.

Do you work on Wall Street or just promote women holding out for rich guys so they can leave their kid with a babysitter at $35,000/year so they can be free to do "whatever" all day?

I wonder if anyone has Tiger's number handy. I could use it.

[LisaL]

44. The payments will be calculated based on his income.

So if his income is high, then asking for a high amount of child support is reasonable.
And it has absolutely nothing to do with whether I work or not.

[Mira]

55. The operative word is "reasonable" no?

Edwards is not the only one in this scenario. She was a grown woman participating willingly.
Child support disguised as unadulterated punitive greed is disgusting.
For Edwards to now be enlisted for what seems to add up to total support for her and her daughter is ridiculous.

[PassingFair]

54. If it is commensurate with the level of support his other children receive...

I think John can afford $215,000 a year for his own child.

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Oh please. His other children probably wipe their ass with more than that every month.

You don't think his other kids have had nannies/caretakers all their lives? Be certain, they have.

[Ruby the Liberal]

35. Look, I am no fan of the man, but why should his family

pay the price for this tramp?

Are they going to exclude Elizabeth's "mother's salary and needs" from this since she chose to raise her children and quit her law practice given her husband's earnings?

[emilyg]

36. If she's a tramp - then John is a tramp, too.

[Ruby the Liberal]

38. No question about that one.

37. Because that daughter - IS - his family.

[Ruby the Liberal]

39. She is, but Ryelle (sp?) is not.

Woman has no job, yet she needs $2,100/month for someone else to raise her daughter?

I am not against child support. Reread my post.

I am specifically talking to motive here. This woman wants $36k/year for someone else to raise her daughter while she does *name it* rather than being home with her.

MOTIVE.

[Maru Kitteh]

40. And again, do you not believe E.E. and Johnnie employed nannies?

While she/they did *name it* rather than sit watchful over the fruits of their IVF procedures?

Woman's only job when they met was helping Johnnie get his freak on whilst calling it "documentary film-making" or some crap like that.

Motive? How about Johnnie's motive?

[LisaL]

43. If this is his child, then he has to support the child. Those are the

US laws.
The child isn't guilty of anything and the child support payments are imposed for the best interest of the child.

[Ruby the Liberal]

57. This isn't just child support, it is also alimony

So that she never has to work, while having someone else raise her child.

What a dummy.

[cali]

3. well yeah, there is that. n/t

[timeforpeace]

4. Time wounds all heels, doesn't it? "He coulda been the champ, I mean the prez!"

[goldcanyonaz]

5. It's probably so she is afforded the same quality of life as his other children.

It's not uncommon when it comes to child support in situations like this.

He should have kept his penis in his pants or at least worn a condom.

[DesertFlower]

6. edwards is a wealthy man and

she wants her share.

7. I've seen other demands from spouses/partners/whomevers where big money

is involved citing exorbitant amounts needed for monthly maintenance. Who could spend what some of these people claim they need monthly? It's beyond my comprehension.

[Psephos]

8. She's a pos? Edwards impregnated her while his wife was fighting cancer and he was running for Prez

While he was romping with Hunter he was also shafting his wife along with his supporters and contributors.

He was willing to bring this baggage onto the national ticket.

Those two deserve each other. It's like karmic mud wrestling.

[question everything]

9. Oh, for heavens sake: go write a book, go on reality show

this should generate some income for her... for a while.

[LisaL]

25. Hah?

If he is the father, why shouldn't he support his kid?
Even if she writes a book or goes on a reality show, that doesn't absolve the father of the child of his obligation.

[iceman66]

10. He can afford it.

[Gormy Cuss]

11. Where's the greed?

Should this child not have access to the same amenities as Edwards's other children just because her mother never married her father?

[goldcanyonaz]

14. Yes, she should be afforded the same lifestyle as his other children.

[otohara]

12. John Edwards in the POS

in this drama.

Her requests don't seem unreasonable considering he's a millionaire.

I hope she gets all she wants and more.

[TexasObserver]

13. She's a POS? So is her baby daddy.

Greedy? Not compared to what he makes and what he's worth.

$200K a year to support his kid seems high, but not high compared to his wealth.

I don't care for her, but the kid deserves what the father can provide, and this one can provide a great deal.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

15. What a payday.

[eyesroll]

16. Um...if his 2009 annual income is anything like his 2006 annual income, he should pay more than that

Edwards made $3.6 million in 2006.

http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/moneymag/0712/gallery.candidates.moneymag/2.html

Every state is different. New Jersey's child support guidelines are complex (the case is being filed in NJ) and I'm not too familiar with them...but he'd be paying $30,710 per month (on income of $300,000 per month) for one child in Wisconsin, assuming no more than 25% physical placement (which I can't imagine he has).

(Calculator for Wisconsin here: http://www.dwd40calculator.com/)

[Lex]

17. His child support would be calculated from his income, so yeah, it'll be high

if he has a high monthly income.

[mitchum]

18. That's a lot of cocaine

[cornermouse]

19. 1. You hate Edwards

2. Where's the DNA test? ...Oops. Rielle refused to have one done and yet she's demanding child support. Isn't that usually known as the cart before the horse...

Sort of makes me wonder why you decided to start another one of these "let's all beat up on Edwards".

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Oh heavens. What if he has to sell his palace estate? Edwards is the POS in this story.

I'll bet Johnnie boy has no problem blowing through $9,600 on a vacation or $500 for entertainment.

[aikoaiko]

21. IIRC, dads in my state pay about 25% of their gross income in child support. 18k may be cheap.

Edwards should pay just like any other dad per the laws of relevant states involved.

[earth mom]

22. Why do you continue to beat a dead horse?

Edwards isn't even a politician anymore.

Get the hell over it. :eyes:

[cali]

27. aw, don't be upset about your little hero, sweetie.

[earth mom]

32. Edwards isn't my hero and I think Elizabeth should kick his ass to the curb.

But that said, I don't think Edwards is the evil villain you obsessively paint him to be.



FYI-there are worse politicians in this country who are corporatist warmongers that don't give a shit about our planet earth.

Maybe you should direct your energies towards them and their evil deeds and intentions, instead of someone who has only hurt his family-not you personally.

[Raine]

23. He played now he can pay

I have no sympathy for him, why should this child have less than the "legitimate" ones.

[Cleita]

26. Reminds me of the saying.

"If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas." John sure picked a winner.

Stay classy, Rielle.

[Stinky The Clown]

30. The kid deserves the same life and lifestyle as his (her?) siblings.

She's greedy? What about him? He's a hypocritical scum bag. Yes. A man who whispers sweet nothings to a woman not his wife while the actual wife is **dying** is, indeed, a hypocritical scum bag.

I don't give a fuck what she asks for. She can have it all beyond what it takes to keep the actual Mrs. Edwards and her children at the level to which they are accustomed. If he lives in the back of a Chevy wagon, I don't give a fuck.

[jmm]

34. +1

All his children, whether he had them with his wife or mistress, deserve the same standard of living he has if not better.

[TicketyBoo]

45. "His (her?) siblings"???

The original post says "daughter."

That would normally call for a feminine pronoun.

[kestrel91316]

31. I don't care. It's not my concern. He's a private citizen who can't keep his pants zipped, is all.

[dusmcj]

33. she could work as an escort, she's hot enough. /nt

[asdjrocky]

41. You play you pay.

Stupid, stupid man.

[WolverineDG]

42. You have no concept of what child support is

Please state a reason why this child should be raised on less money than his other 3. If he spends that amount on each of his other 3 children, why shouldn't this little girl get the same amount? If his other kids get taken out to eat at fancy restaurants & get to go on fancy vacations,traveling in first class, attend private school, get private tutoring & special classes, & get to wear fancy clothes & live in a fancy house, why shouldn't she? I don't see anyone questioning the amount of money John spends on his other kids.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

47. The bastard child should live in a hovel!!!!

:sarcasm:

[WolverineDG]

53. That's the attitude of some alleged progressives & liberals on this thread nt

[TicketyBoo]

48. "Moral hazard," maybe?

Sounds like a bit of a "moral hazard" to financially reward every person who accomplishes this like they've won the lottery.

On the other hand, it's another "moral hazard" (as well as a financial one) for rich men to go around impregnating women willy-nilly (so to speak).

Hard to cry for either one of these losers.

[WolverineDG]

52. Nice to know you think the child is a "loser"

& a "moral hazard," as if she was the one truly responsible for what her parents did.

:eyes:

Child support is not a "reward" for "winning the lottery."

dg

[TicketyBoo]

58. Yes, the child

is the biggest loser of all. Look at the creeps she has for parents.

[cherokeeprogressive]

46. HER Edwards child is entitled to EVERYTHING the other Edwards children are entitled to.

Not one penny less.

[Lisa0825]

51. Bingo. nt

[Blasphemer]

49. They should let a court decide. Puff Daddy pays $21,000/mo but he was way more money than JE... nt

[Terra Alta]

50. Greedy for wanting her daughter to be well taken care of?

If Edwards is proven to be the father, then he should spend as much on her as he does his children with Elizabeth. It's only fair. And the real POS is John himself -- what kind of man cheats on his DYING wife?? He is scum.

[PeaceNikki]

56. What a stupid POS OP.
