LAURYN Goodman has been slammed by a judge for treating Kyle Walker ‘like an open-ended chequebook’ as she suffered a humiliating family court defeat over child maintenance payments.
The 34-year-old City footballer appeared at the Central Family Court in London earlier this month in a dispute with the model over the amount of money he should pay to support their one year-old daughter, Kinara, who was born behind the back of his wife Annie Kilner.
Lauryn, 33, wanted Kyle to pay £14,750 a month in ‘global’ child maintenance for the pair’s two children, as well as tens of thousands for cars, furnishing and property maintenance and other costs such as nursery fees.
In a written judgement released yesterday, His Honour Judge Edward Hess dismissed many of Lauryn’s demands, saying the mum didn’t have a ‘good track record of telling the truth’ and was ‘often difficult, unreasonable and demanding’.
The judge made the rare decision to lift the anonymity order normally afforded to family court proceedings, ruling that Lauryn could not argue for the privacy of her children when she had recently visited Germany for the Euros with ‘her son dressed in an England football shirt with the name ‘Daddy’ on the back’ and had been willingly photographed.
The judge said the footballer had previously agreed to most of her financial demands – including a £2.4 million home in Sussex – as he ‘naively’ sought to keep the fact that he was Kinara’s father a secret from his wife.
