LHHATL’s Stevie J In Plea Deal Talks With Feds Over Child Support Debt

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta break-out star Stevie J (real name Steven Jordan) is in talks with the federal government to reach a plea deal in his $1 million + back child support case — in hopes he can avoid a jail sentence over the charges.

As previously reported, Stevie J was arrested back in June by the Feds, all over a million-dollar child support debt he owed to the mother of his children. He has two children from a relationship that he had with his girlfriend (back in 1997 and 1998) and was ordered to pay $6,600 a month which was then raised later on to $8,800. The reality star is accused of not paying his baby mama since 2001 and his back support bill ballooned to $1,107,412.

According to federal court docs, Stevie J makes around 27k a month for his role on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” and from January – August 2013 he made a total of $193,499 from VH1 checks. He has also made over 105k in music royalties in the past decade.

Then on July 11th, the feds filed docs in the case stating they have been in settlement talks with Stevie J in an attempt to resolve the case without going to trial. They explain the negotiations are not complete and they need longer to continue talking to Stevie.
They asked the court to reschedule a hearing that was to take place this month until August 11th. The federal government is working out how Stevie J can pay back his baby mama given his surplus of income recently, along with the reality star negotiating how he can avoid a jail term for the charges.
