Walsh Insists He’s Not Trying to Stop Paying Child Support

After insisting he wasn’t a “deadbeat dad” throughout his failed campaign for re-election, former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) filed court papers seeking to end his obligation to pay $2,134 per month in child support, the Chicago Sun Times reports.

“But once again, Walsh insists he’s no deadbeat. Both he and his attorney say that since he is no longer employed as a congressman, they want to ‘modify’ the previous agreement so that he pays 20 percent of his current salary.”
