NewsChannel5 reported that a judge ordered the former Cavalier to increase his monthly payment to Jackson Township, Ohio, resident Nikki Giavasis (pictured, below) from $2,500 to $20,000 for a child she had in May 2000.

A judge agreed to increase Kemp's child support to after tax records revealed that he makes $1 million a month as an NBA star.

"I just want Shawn to (take) care of his responsibilities, because he's not going to be there emotionally," Giavasis said. "He's not fulfilling his role as a father."

Giavasis said that she has every intention of supporting herself and the baby boy she had with Kemp. She's studying to become a sports agent for professional athletes.

Kemp has reportedly fathered 12 or 13 children out of wedlock.
