Travis Henry's Case Takes Next Step

((HT: AJC))

Travis Henry's defense in his child support case in DeKalb County court was that he was making no income, so he needed a decrease in the amount in the monthly payments.

Judge Clarence Seeliger called "shenanigans" and, pretty much, ripped him a new one in open court on Thursday.

Henry ((pictured in a past life)) has nine children from as many different women, and is currently supposed to be paying $3,000-a-month to Jameshia Beacham. Beacham and her attorney, Robert Wellon, were trying to get to the bottom of why henry was making substantial cash withdrawals and making, what they thought were, extravagant purchases.

"Wellon spent two hours grilling Henry on his spending habits. The lawyer repeatedly questioned Henry about why he made multiple cash withdrawals of up to $70,000 after he lost his job with the Broncos. Henry refused to answer. “All those big withdrawals have to do with my [criminal] case,” Henry said."

"The judge has yet to rule on Henry’s request for a permanent reduction in child support payments. Seeliger said Henry will have to answer the questions he refused to answer Thursday before the judge will consider that request. Kessler said Henry would comply.

After the hearing Henry's attorney, Randall M. Kessler said that because of Seeliger’s ruling his client may seek a jury trial on the request for a permanent reduction in child support payments. “We will stick with it,” Kessler said. “And we will prevail.” "

Henry had to post a $400,000 bond for his criminal trial in Colorado earlier this year. That trial is supposed to start in April, and he is currently under house arrest.
