  "account": "NBA player Anthony Edwards has been ordered to pay $14,000 in monthly child support for a child he has never met, according to recent court documents. The Minnesota Timberwolves star, who shares a son named Amir with his ex Alexandria Desroches, is also required to take out a $2.6 million life insurance policy with Desroches as the primary beneficiary, and to pay her legal fees of over $21,000. Edwards, who is currently on a five-year, $244 million contract with the Timberwolves, may have to allocate a portion of his substantial earnings towards these obligations. Interestingly, despite the financial burden, Edwards has admitted under oath that he has never met his son and does not seek any parenting time with him.",
  "summary": "Anthony Edwards is being forced to pay $14K in child support among other things for a child he shares with his ex, Alexandria Descroches. Anthony Edwards is no stranger to legal battles when it comes to his kids.",
