Bobby Brown is Poor? Jailed for Support Payments

Bobby Brown has been jailed for failing to make child support payments. The 'My Prerogative' singer was detained in Massachusetts Norfolk County jail yesterday (26.02.07) after being arrested on Sunday (25.02.07) for failing to pay $19,000 in late child support and court fees. Brown's lawyer, Phaedra Parks, said: "We're diligently working on getting those funds available from outside sources." However, Parks was doubtful Brown would be freed before Tuesday morning (28.02.07).

Parks claimed the singer was struggling to make monthly payments to Kim Ward, the mother of his two teenage children, LaPrincia and Bobby III. Parks added: "Although this agreement was put in place when he was Bobby Brown the star, this agreement is being enforced when he is not always able to find work. "He hasn't made an album in quite some years." In October, Brown paid $11,000 in late child support after a judge ruled he would be arrested if he entered the county of Massachusetts without paying what he owed. The musician is currently in the process of divorcing Whitney Houston, with who he has a 13-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown.
