Bankhead native T.I. has been ordered to pay more child support to the mother of two of his children, after she claimed the $2,000 a month she was receiving wasn't enough.
Superior Court Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane ordered T.I., real name Clifford Harris Jr., to pay just over $3,000 a month to LaShon Dixon. The judge also said the 27-year-old rapper must continue to pay for the boys to attend private school, uninsured medical bills and expenses related to the children's extracurricular activities.
Tipton Lane also awarded the couple joint custody of the boys, ages 7 and 8, on Tuesday. Dixon, 28, was granted primary physical custody. The children previously spent about 40 percent of their time with the two-time Grammy winner.
Dixon's attorney, Randy Kessler, said his client is still unsatisfied with the amount the judge ordered T.I. to pay but is happy to receive more child support.
"Every little bit helps," Kessler said. "She was just getting by with the children, while they lived a different life with their father. It can't be complete opposites on the other side."
An email was sent to one of T.I.'s lawyers Tuesday, but an immediate reply was not returned.
He also has two sons with his fiancee, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, of the defunct R&B group Xscape.
