Jamal Bryant And Baby Mama LaToya Odom In Nasty Child Support Battle
“The Preachers” host Jamal Bryant has headed back to family court to accuse his baby mama of harassing him in their legal battle over child support.
The pastor pleaded for the judge to shoot down her demand that he hand over vital financial documents and for him to cover her legal bills.
A Georgia woman LaToya Odom sued Jamal over paternity of her newborn son and for the reverend to pay monthly child support.
The woman explained she gave birth to a son named John Bryant in 2015. She filed the lawsuit seeking primary physical and legal custody of the child. She also wants temporary and permanent child support from ‘The Preachers” host while the case is pending.
The docs claim Jamal already took a DNA test showing he is the father. LaToya said the pastor made voluntary child support payments since their son’s birth.
But recently, Jamal headed to court to fire back at the lawsuit saying he is the father of the newborn. He claimed that due to her continued harassment he decided to cease all contact with her and stopped sending money until the court decides the best solution.
LaToya pointed out that Jamal lives a flashy affluent lifestyle with a million dollar plus net worth with multiple incomes from book sales, television appearances and other venues. She explained she is a single mother who lives frugally and has considerable debt from student loans and pleaded with the judge to order the pastor to pay her attorney bills in the case as well.
Then on August 8th, Jamal headed to court blasting his baby mama’s motion to force him to hand over more financial documents than he already did.
Jamal said his legal counsel drove to the baby mama’s lawyer’s office to allow them to inspect all his financial documents they requested including his banking statements, tax returns, contracts and paystubs. He said his baby mama only handed over her paystubs in return.
Jamal said based on the documents he provided, her legal team were comfortable enough to enter into a temporary order on child support that both parties OK’d.
Following the consent order, Jamal said LaToya has demanded he hand over even more documents and even be sanctioned for not providing her with the requested information.
“The Preachers” host said that this is a simple straightforward child support case and he is working hard to provide her with all the documents she wants.
According to Jamal, his baby mama is demanding loan information, future interests, previous lawsuits, medical history, arrests and traffic offenses, loan applications, memberships, loans and gifts to others, safe deposit boxes, automobiles, medical reports and credit reports.
He said handing all of this over would be burdensome and has no relation to the issues at hand, and accused the woman of only trying to harass him in the case. He asked the judge to not force him to hand over the other financial docs, order his baby mama to pay his lawyer bills and deny her motion for him to pay her legal costs.
