Walsh's ex seeking $117K in child support
Tough-talking Illinois freshman Joe Walsh owes $117,437 in child support, according to court documents filed by his ex-wife.
The congressman's attorney called that number "unfounded," but didn't dispute his client is behind on payments.
The Chicago Sun-Times breaks the story:
Walsh admits he is not wealthy. Some of his financial problems — including losing his Evanston condo to foreclosure — were documented before his out-of-nowhere victory in Chicago’s north suburbs last fall.
But court documents examined this week by the Sun-Times during research for a profile on the increasingly visible congressman showed his financial issues also included
a nine-years-long child support battle with his ex-wife, Laura Walsh.
Before getting elected, he had told Laura Walsh that because he was out of work or between jobs, he could not make child support payments.
So she was surprised to read in his congressional campaign disclosures that he was earning enough money to loan his campaign $35,000.
“Joe personally loaned his campaign $35,000, which, given that he failed to make any child support payments to Laura because he ‘had no money’ is surprising,” Laura Walsh’s attorneys wrote in a motion filed in December seeking $117,437 in back child support and interest. “Joe has paid himself back at least $14,200 for the loans he gave himself.”
