Former professional football player, Warren Sapp has recently sought bankruptcy protection after his liabilities began to outweigh his assets.

Sapp played in the NFL as a defensive tackle for 13 years. The 39-year-old listed his debts at $6.7 million, and his assets at $6.45 million. Among his debts are unpaid child support and alimony payments. Sapp was previously married, and during his marriage he had two children. He is also the father of two other children by two separate women.

According to bankruptcy documents, Sapp is behind in child support payments for these women, and also in alimony payments to his ex-wife. He filed the paperwork for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on March 30 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Dennis Rodman, who rose to fame with his career in the NBA, is headed back to court in May in order to determine his child support situation with his ex-wife.

Last November, the exaggerated basketball player was told he was in contempt of court for falling behind on his payments by $860,000. He could face up to 20 days in jail if he is found guilty of this charge. Rodman pays child support for three children, two of which are from his marriage to his former wife.

Rodman believes that he does not owe as much as his ex-wife is claiming, and plans to fight the charges against him. His lawyer claims that their documents will prove that Rodman is contributing to his payments as best as he can.

California mothers find it difficult to collect child support that they are owed from Native American fathers because many tribal governments do not enforce the court ordered payments and do not garnish wages of bank accounts of delinquent parents.

The California Department of Child Support Services does not track the number of tribal governments that do not enforce child support payments, but a chief judge for the Hoopa Valley Tribe stated that only 20 of the 103 federally recognized tribes in California do have formal enforcement systems in place.

The judge also stated that Native American tradition suggests that tribe members must always take care of the young and the elderly so formal programs are not always needed. Across the state of California, nearly $1 million of owed child support is not collected every year.
