Portland Trail Blazers forward Nicolas Batum found in contempt of court, must pay ex-wife $216,000
A Clackamas County judge found Portland Trail Blazers forward Nicolas Batum in contempt of court and breach of contract Thursday for failing to make divorce settlement payments to his ex-wife.
The ruling clears the way for Batum's ex-wife, Melanie Pimentel, to garnish his wages.
Batum, 25, and Melanie Pimentel, 26, divorced in October. Batum agreed to pay her $5 million. He was required to make a $1 million payment at the first of the year and was to pay the remaining $4 million in equal monthly payments over three years.
He also must pay Pimentel $30,000 a month in spousal support until the $5 million judgment is fully paid.
