Some rainy-day reading: A former Flyer wins court round against his ex

The North Carolina Court of Appeals has determined that Rod Brind'Amour's $9,147-per-month payment for the support of his three kids, Briley, Skyler and Reece, is sufficient.
Brind'Amour, who played for the Flyers from 1991 to 2000, is now with the Carolina Hurricanes.
When Brind'Amour and his wife, Kelle, divorced in 2003, they agreed that he would pay $15,000 a month, or $2,500 a month during an NHL lockout.
Rod Brind'Amour later went back to court for a cut in the support, saying he "has a strong desire to instill the value of frugality and hard work in his children, notwithstanding his high income." Kelle Brind'Amour, he said, maintained a separate car for her $1,300-a-month nanny and spent "approximately $1,130.37 per month on the children’s entertainment and recreation."
A county judge in 2007 reduced the monthly support to $9,147.
Kelle Brind'Amour claimed in her appeal that the judge shouldn't have intervened.
Here's the decision.
"What's more classless: chiseling your ex-wife for a few grand a month when you make millions to play a game for a living, or rooting around in this guy's private life and publishing details of his divorce papers? Kind of toss-up for me. I feel dirty for having read it." I agree but before knocking the guy down know that this is just the child support. She has already raped him in regards to the alimony and is well taken care of. According to Raleigh people she has been personally living the high life off of what is supposed to be money for the kids. He can only play for another few years anyway. If the guys wants to save some money and put it away for his kids future that is not a bad thing.— Bhansen
