Brock at the ribbon-cutting of his Wing Stop restaurant on Temple's campus.

Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Raheem Brock is behind on child support by more than $7,500, ex-wife Deziree Williams said. Brock and Williams wed in June 2002 and divorced in October 2005. Their daughter was born in July 2003 after the couple had separated. A child-support payment plan signed in a Philly court in April 2007 holds that Brock, who made $3,120,480 with the Colts last year, is to pay $3,500 per month for child support.

Williams, 30, a computer teacher at area private schools, says Brock, 31, is behind more than $4,000 from the past eight months and withheld his July payment because she would not allow him to see the child. Williams admits that she has kept Brock from seeing his daughter for a month, telling him that he needs to pay up first. Williams says she has asked Brock repeatedly for the money and that he has avoided her, and more recently said that their lawyers could work it out. The couple met at Temple and dated throughout college, marrying the first year the Dobbins High grad played for the Colts.

From July 2007 to Oct. 2008 Brock was to pay $3,000, witholding $500 per month to cover a loan he had previously made to Williams. As of Nov. 2008, his payments should have been back to $3,500, but he has paid only $3,000 monthly, according to Williams' bank records.

Brock, who has three other children by two other women, did not return a message we left on his cell phone yesterday.

So she didn't let him see their child for a month after he had not stuck to his agreement fully for over 7mos. So he he then decides to retaliate and not send any money? Am I reading right? It's ashame the child's going to be the one affected by this. If he's a millionaire why didn't he just pay that lil bit of money?

Williams has kept Brock from seeing his daughter because he has to pay up first. Keep it classy you two.

For those keeping score at home, that's 4 kids with 3 women. Brock is gunning for Shawn Kemp status.

Shawn Kemp status next. All athletes strive to reach TRAVIS HENRY'S record of 10 kids/10 baby mommas. Makes you proud to be a Temple alum, doesn't it DANNO? "He could have gone anywhere, he chose Deziree" KING~out

that's still a lot of money....$3,000 a month is more than enough (even though he's a millionaire)....I thought it was about the child's welfare. I'm sure this little girl will be fed off $3,000 a month. I could see if he's not paying anything but he is only guilty of reducing his monthly payment by $500 a month...sheesh

Rather it is $500 or $100/month that she is due, a court agreement is a legal document, regardless. Being as though it was a mere $500 he was reducing his payments by, he should've just paid it and saved himself this very unneccessary drama.

See, here is all you need to know kiddies......and I struggle with this, but.....folks from particular swim clubs in the area read articles like this, focus specifically on the 3 women, 4 kids mathematics, get scared, then draw parallel's with this story when the complexion changes at their Swim Club. THAT is all you need to know when it comes to "why did that happen at the swim club". Again, I struggle with this on an everyday basis. Case in point: I sympathize with the Group trying to spend the day at the Swim Club, but reading about Raheem *ock, I mean Brock, I go back to the old mindstate. I will never figure myself out.

he's lucky he's only paying 3500/month on a 3+ mill annual salary. if he's smart he'll pay up before she gets even more vindictive (you should never keep a child from seeing their father barring safety issues) and asks for an increase.

This man just lost his 12 year old sister in a fatal car accident and the day after her funeral you think it’s appropriate to blast personal business on the world wide web. Is your child’s relationship with her paternal family really only worth $7500 to you? It should really be PRICELESS

Had Raheem not loaned your parents/you $13,000 to avoid their home being foreclosed, there never would have been an issue of when your child support payments should increase to $3500 per month. Maybe had you been helping your parents when you were first receiving child support, since you were living with them at 28 years old, none of this would even be an issue. How easily you forget, when someone helped you out.

Yes, she’s an adorable child, but let’s be honest when thinking about why you actually had her. You were seeing nothing but dollar signs and your actions now are proving just that.

the reason you’ve chosen to put this personal business in the public eye is because you know this time YOU will have to cover your own attorney fees.

lmao
I'm lmao at the so called truthteller79. That dude is a walking campaign ad as to why you should wear condoms. He's the stereotypical NFL player and the reason they get bad reputations. He's only 31 with four children, would've been more had ladies not been aborting. He's had so many STD's, women should run from HIM. Your statements are half-truths and you just sound way too bitter. Read the point of the article again, get your fact straights and try again. Blah Blah Blah, get a life and Brock some condoms!

I found this posted on the other part of this website...interesting to say the least. I'm copying and pasting guys/gals: posted by user Hondastack "she is not the only mother who has him in 4 support.. Kaisha spann is also having a time wit Raheem not pay her.. They have 2 kids an he doesn't follow what the courts has told him 2 do.. He is late paying the school for them. He doesn't pic them up on the times the court has told him 2. They wanted 2 go 2 camp he refused 2 pay. Trying 2put it on there mom.. The order said 4 him 2 pay 4 all camps& schools. This would have Ben settled on the 3 of this month but sorry 2 say he had a deth 2 days before.. He wasn't goning 2 show eather way.. He has found every excuse not 2 show up.. He is in frount of one of th best judges down at childsupport enforcement, an he said that on the 10th of nexted month that since he has made a mockery of the court by never showing up at court by thus being the fourth time he would throw the book at him.. He will see that Philadelphi childsupport is not a joke.. I hope he shows up.. But he will not.. He will b n camp."

$3,000 a month, wow I hope she was good.

love
an agreed amount of payment was already court appointed... he shouldn't have made his bed, now he has to lie in it. i'm glad she did speak up and vent... everyone thinks that this man is some hero and here he isn't even taking care of the children that he helped to make and you all forget that he makes all that money and only a small portion of that goes to the mothers that are REALLY taking CARE of their children.... he doesn't always have the time, but you think that he does have the MONEY... Raheem, how about setting an example of what a man should be to all those little women you fathered?
