Rep. Walsh, a tea-flavored freshman congressman from Illinois, is divorced and as part of that divorce proceeding, was ordered to pay child support. But the schmuck hasn't:
U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) says he hasn’t paid his court-ordered child support because he and his ex-wife reached a “verbal agreement” three years ago that he could stop paying her child support.
Laura Walsh says her ex-husband, elected to Congress last year as a leading voice of the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party, owed her $117,000 in child support and interest.
In a court filing in December, a month after he was elected, she said he stopped paying child support because, he told her, he didn’t have any money.
The current yearly salary for Congressman is $174,000 (source: TheCapitol.Net). Factoring in attorney fees, that should about cover it.
