P. Diddy to pay record amounts

P. Diddy pays more than I do.

NEW YORK -- P. Diddy likes to brag about having the biggest yacht, the most expensive parties, the grandest houses and more. Now he's been ordered to pay what could be the biggest child support order in New York state history, and he's not happy.

Last month, the New York State Supreme Court's Appellate Division approved an increase from about $5,000 to $21,782 per month to P. Diddy's ex-girlfriend, Misa Hylton-Brim. Representatives of both P. Diddy and Hylton-Brim say it's the highest child support payment in state history. ...

He vowed to take the case to the Court of Appeals, the state's highest court. He
said the courts should not have negated the previous, years-old agreement between
the pair, which stipulated the $5,000 monthly figure.

One of the problems with the current system is that it is impossible to settle differences out of court. P. Diddy had a settlement, but the judge decided that no such settlements are enforceable if someone complains about it later.
