Since her reality show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," aired in 2012, Mama June has become a household name. However, her fame has not come without controversy. Mama June has had many legal issues, including drug charges and probation violations. One of the most significant legal issues Mama June has faced is child support. In this article, we will explore the question, "Is Mama June paying child support?"
Background
Mama June, whose real name is June Shannon, has four children. Her oldest daughter, Anna, also known as Chickadee, was born when Mama June was just 15 years old. Mama June's second child, Jessica, was born with an extra thumb and had it surgically removed when she was an infant. Mama June's third child, Lauryn, also known as Pumpkin, was born in 2000. Finally, Mama June's youngest child, Alana, also known as Honey Boo Boo, was born in 2005.
In 2014, Mama June separated from her longtime partner and Honey Boo Boo's father, Sugar Bear. The separation was messy and led to a custody battle over Honey Boo Boo. Mama June was granted full custody of Honey Boo Boo, and Sugar Bear was ordered to pay child support. The court ordered Sugar Bear to pay $400 per month in child support.
The Drug Arrest
In 2019, Mama June was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. She and her boyfriend, Geno Doak, were found with crack cocaine and a crack pipe. Mama June was charged with felony drug possession and misdemeanor paraphernalia possession. Mama June's drug arrest led to her losing custody of her youngest daughter, Honey Boo Boo.
After the drug arrest, Sugar Bear filed a motion to modify the child support order. Sugar Bear argued that Mama June's drug arrest and subsequent loss of custody of Honey Boo Boo were a substantial change in circumstances that justified a modification of the child support order. A judge agreed with Sugar Bear and reduced his child support obligation to $0.
Recent Developments
Mama June's legal troubles did not end with her drug arrest. In 2020, Mama June and Geno were arrested again, this time for possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute. Mama June was charged with felony drug possession with intent to distribute, and Geno was charged with felony drug possession, felony drug possession with intent to distribute, and misdemeanor unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. Mama June and Geno both pleaded not guilty to the charges.
As of 2023, it is unclear whether Mama June is paying child support to Sugar Bear. Mama June's legal troubles and loss of custody of Honey Boo Boo have undoubtedly made it difficult for her to support her children financially.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Mama June has faced many legal issues over the years, including child support. While Sugar Bear was ordered to pay child support after the couple's separation, Mama June's drug arrest and subsequent loss of custody of Honey Boo Boo led to a modification of the child support order. As of 2023, it is unclear whether Mama June is paying child support to Sugar Bear.
