Child Support
Hatchett, who works a minimum-wage job, cannot afford the child support payments for all 21 children, which range from $25 to $309 each per month. As the government is only permitted to take up to 50% of his pay for support payments, once the funds are split, some of his offspring receive only $1.98 each month. The remaining child support is picked up by the state of Tennessee, which Hatchett will have to pay back eventually.The Huffington Post: Desmond Hatchett: 29 Year Old With 21 Kids...He appeared in a Knox County Court in late May of 2009 to answer to 11 cases for 15 of his children. Hatchett told the press that he didn't intend to have so many children or set a record of any kind, but does know the names and ages of all 21 children. He also stated that he does not plan to have any more children in the future.The Sun: He's The Daddy - to 21 Children
