Report: TED NUGENT Willing To Negotiate Settlement In Child-Support Case
April 6, 2004Brian Dekoning of The Union Leader is reporting that lawyers for Ted Nugent and the Dover woman suing him for child support say they will negotiate a settlement to end the case if a judge makes Nugent's financial information confidential.
"We're working cooperatively," Nugent's lawyer, Charles Douglas, told The Union Leader. "It's just a step-by-step process."
Karen Gutowski, 43, sued Nugent for custody and support in August in Strafford County Superior Court. Her lawyer, Jeffrey Runge, said Nugent, 55, has acknowledged he is the father and paid minimal support but has never met the boy.
Runge said he had not seen financial information on Nugent's income or assets as of yesterday morning. Douglas said he would willingly turn over Nugent's financial information if a judge granted a confidentiality order.
In a Foster's Daily Democrat interview last fall, Runge said that "given the fact he's worth millions and millions of dollars, he's paying the amount someone making about $20,000 per year would pay."
Eight years after the child is born, Runge wrote, Nugent "miraculously decides he wants some component of custody. Indeed (Nugent's) motives ... are suspicious and appear more intended to intimidate and harass the petitioner," Runge wrote.
Runge lists 25 sources of income for Nugent including concerts, album sales, Nugent's radio and television shows, beef jerky sales, and a recent book "God, Guns & Rock n' Roll".
