Jesse Jackson Sued for Child Support

The mother of the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s out-of-wedlock child has sued seeking child support payments and visitation arrangements.

Karin Stanford filed the lawsuit about two weeks ago in Los Angeles after unsuccessful negotiations with Jackson and his attorneys, said Stanford’s spokeswoman, Michelle Jordan.

“The process of resolving the settlement is ongoing. There is no contest,” Jackson told the Chicago Tribune.

Jackson’s attorney, Willie Gary, said a settlement had been worked out to increase payments from $3,000 to $4,000 a month, establish a college fund and take out a life insurance policy for the child. But Jordan said there was “no agreement on the table.”
