T.I.’s wallet just got a bit lighter.
A judge in Atlanta ordered the rapper on Tuesday to pay more child support to the mother of his 7 and 8-year-old sons as part of a ruling that also awarded joint custody to Tip (born Clifford Harris), with whom the children previously spent 40 percent of their time, according to The Associated Press.
The boys’ mother, LaShon Dixon, was previously getting $2,000 a month in support, but will now receive just over $3,000.
Additionally, T.I. must continue to pay for the boys’ private-school tuition, uninsured medical bills and expenses related to extracurricular activities.
Dixon was granted primary physical custody of the boys, and her lawyer said his client was happy for the extra support but was still not satisfied with the amount.
“Every little bit helps,” attorney Randy 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.”
