New Hampshire Woman Sues TED NUGENT For Child Support

September 10, 2003

A New Hampshire woman says Ted Nugent fathered her 8-year-old son and she's suing the 1970s rock star for child support and legal custody, according to the Associated Press.

Karen Gutowski, 42, of Dover, has filed petitions in Strafford County Superior Court against Theodore Nugent of Concord, Mich., according to court documents.

Her lawyer, Jeffrey Runge, said Nugent acknowledges the child is his and has paid minimal support since the boy was born in 1995 but whom he has not met.

Nugent has two children with his wife, Shemane Nugent. Runge said Nugent was served with court documents informing him of the suit Sept. 5 when the guitarist played at the Meadowbrook Amphitheater in Gilford with ZZ TOP.

According to a biography on TedNugent.com, he has been named father of the year at his child's school.

Runge said Gutowski had a brief relationship with Nugent. He said Nugent pays Gutowski monthly child support that is far less than Nugent can afford.

Runge did not say how much Nugent pays.

The case is scheduled for a temporary hearing Sept. 29 but Nugent has until Oct. 7 to file a written response, according to court documents.
