New York Post says Hillary's brother's a deadbeat dad

HILL'S BROTHER A DEADBEAT

OWES 158G IN KID SUPPORT & ALIMONY

By DAREH GREGORIAN

December 20, 2007 -- Owe, brother!

Hillary Rodham Clinton's youngest sibling is a deadbeat dad who owes tens of
thousands of dollars in child support to his politically connected ex, The
Post has learned.

In a disclosure that could prove embarrassing for his sister, Anthony Rodham
has stiffed his former wife, Nicole Boxer, out of $75,000 in child support,
as well as $55,000 in alimony, a source close to the case said.

Including interest and various fees and expenses, the presidential
candidate's brother now owes Boxer - the daughter of Sen. Barbara Boxer
(D-Calif.) - more than $158,000, the source said.

The revelation that Rodham is delinquent with his payments won't be a
welcome development for Hillary Clinton, coming as the too-close-to-call
battle for the Democratic presidential nomination reaches a fevered pitch
and with the first votes to be cast in Iowa in exactly two weeks.
Barbara Boxer has not endorsed a candidate in the race.

Nicole Boxer received judgments from a Washington judge ordering Rodham to
pay up earlier this year, but the cash-strapped business consultant has yet
to fork over the hefty sums.

"He has consistently been a deadbeat dad when it comes to paying child
support and spousal support, despite the courts telling him over and over
again that he must meet his obligations," a source close to Nicole Boxer
said.

Rodham's lawyer, Gwendolyn Jo Carlberg, said she would "not comment on the
veracity of any figures that are the subject of private and confidential
settlement negotiations, as this is a personal, family matter and is under
seal." She did say her client "fully intends to honor the judgment."

Nicole Boxer's lawyer could not be reached for comment.

Rodham, 53, married Boxer in the White House Rose Garden in 1994, when his
brother-in-law, Bill Clinton, was president.

The couple had a son, Zachary, two years later, but the political union came
to an end in 2000.

Fights over child support soon followed - at one point in 2002, Nicole
charged that her ex hadn't paid anything in six months.

The latest support strife has been going on most of this past year, and
Carlberg said her client has been trying to settle their differences in and
out of court.

She said a Superior Court judge ruled against Rodham earlier this year.

"He strongly disagreed with the ruling, and so did I," she said. "We
appealed the decision, and Mr. Rodham did not prevail."

That final ruling was in October.

Carlberg said she "sent a settlement letter to Ms. Boxer's attorney a few
weeks ago for structured payment. As of today, we have not received a
reply."

The Nicole Boxer source blasted Rodham's settlement offers as "just another
dodge from meeting his obligations to his former wife and son while he lives
in his fancy Washington town house" with his new wife, whom he married in
2005.

A former insurance salesman, prison guard and private eye, Rodham has been a
headache for the former and possibly future first family before.
He and his brother Hugh embarrassed the Clintons in 1999 with a politically
perilous plan to import hazelnuts from the former Soviet republic of
Georgia.

He also became a figure in the "Pardongate" scandal, when it was revealed
that he lobbied Bill Clinton to pardon two embezzlers.
Rodham made headlines again shortly after his split from Nicole, when he was
attacked at his family cottage in the Berkshires by a man who claimed he saw
Rodham having sex with his girlfriend.

Rodham later testified that he "might have" smoked pot with the woman.

Same old, same old, just bigger numbers. It is interesting they were only
married 6 years and he is required to pay SS. Must be one of those cases
where SS is used to balance out the property settlement.

At least the article didn't include the government's usual canard about how
he isn't paying what he AGREED to pay.

I'm guessing they had a fairly high lifestyle and lots of bills to go with
it. It's
impossible to tell how much of those expenses he was hit with in the
breakup.
It's odd they never mention that--just the same old speal of poor woman/bad
man.

yes, and did she also kick in her $157,000 up front too?

Next time somebody starts belly aching about the government looking after
lost causes, remind them of the Trillions they squander on useless projects.

That seemed to be what the N.Y. Daily News story was implying. But
perhaps Hillary will give him the money, or even Bill will dip into his
pocket and produce some of the large amounts of money he's getting from
going around giving speeches to anyone who will pay him.

Or is it possible that, if Hillary becomes president, she will pardon
him, just as her husband pardoned all those low-lifes shortly before he
ceased to be president. But since the brother's ex-wife is the daughter of
Sen. Barbara Boxer, who can make a lot of trouble, perhaps the pardon option
is unlikely.

Why on earth would Bill or Hillary be obligated to fund
the ex wife? It sure as hell isn't their responsibility to provide the woman
with
a high lifestyle. Here's a novel idea--If the woman wants to live high on
the hog,
why doesn't she get a better paying job? Sheesh! Heh, my ex's family has all
kinds of money--I mean lots. Maybe I shoulda hit therm up for some lifestyle
funding years ago.
