Falling behind in child support often results in having to dish out back pay until the money owed is caught up, but coughing up cash years in advance of payments due has to be rare.
That's exactly what Allen Iverson's ex-wife, Tawanna, is asking a judge to force A.I. to do. The former NBA All Star's ex is tired of having to drag him into court to get the $8000 a month he's been ordered to pay for their five children.
She wants Allen to pay her $1,272,000 right now for all child support payments due through October 2026, when their youngest child turns 18. She says the money will go into a trust fund for the kids, according to TMZ.
The former couple, who got married in 2001, went through a bitter year-long divorce that was finalized in January 2013. As part of the settlement, Iverson had to pay Tawanna a lump sum of $3 million. He also agreed to split various assets and give her a portion of the money he receives from his endorsement deal with Reebok, in addition to child support.
In July a judge threatened the former ballplayer with jail time unless he forked over $40,000 in back child support. Iverson was able to make the payment.
A court has yet to rule on Tawanna's latest request.

Obie Trice isn't a fan of men wearing female clothing or feminine looking gear. In a 2011 interview with Ms. Drama, the Detroit native spoke about his distaste for skinny jeans and he still feels the same way today.
"No disrespect, but I don't f*ck with [skinny jeans]. I don't like to see that sh*t," Obie told Vlad TV in a recent interview. "I don't like to see kilts... men in skirts. [Kanye West] is in his own lane with his sh*t. That's some different type of sh*t to me. A$AP Rocky as well. Whoever is wearing skirts as men, that's just something I don't agree with."

BANGKOK — Dunkin’ Donuts has apologized for the “insensitivity” of an advertising campaign in Thailand featuring a woman in blackface makeup to promote a new chocolate flavored doughnut.
The Dunkin’ Donuts franchise in Thailand came under criticism Friday after Human Rights Watch called the advertisements “bizarre and racist.”
The company’s chief executive in Thailand initially defended the campaign, but the U.S. headquarters quickly followed up with an apology.
“We are working with our Thailand franchisee to immediately pull the ad. DD recognizes the insensitivity of this spot,” Dunkin’ Donuts said in a tweet posted on its official U.S. website after complaints erupted on Twitter, in a variety of blogs and in mainstream American media.
The local franchise launched the advertisement earlier this month to promote its new “Charcoal Donut.” In posters, TV commercials and on Facebook, the campaign shows a smiling woman with blackface makeup, bright pink lipstick and a jet black 1950s-style beehive hairdo holding up a bitten black doughnut. The slogan in Thai reads: “Break every rule of deliciousness.”
Critics say the image is reminiscent of 19th and early 20th century American stereotypes for black people that are now considered offensive symbols of a racist era.
The New York-based Human Rights Watch said it was shocked to see an American brand name running an advertising campaign that would draw “howls of outrage” if released in the United States.
“It’s both bizarre and racist that Dunkin’ Donuts thinks that it must color a woman’s skin black and accentuate her lips with bright pink lipstick to sell a chocolate doughnut,” said Phil Robertson, the deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch. “Dunkin’ Donuts should immediately withdraw this ad, publicly apologize to those it’s offended and ensure this never happens again.”
The campaign hasn’t ruffled many in Thailand, where it’s common for advertisements to inexplicably use racial stereotypes. A Thai brand of household mops and dustpans called “Black Man” uses a logo with a smiling black man in a tuxedo and bow tie. One Thai skin whitening cream runs TV commercials that say white-skinned people have better job prospects than those with dark skin. An herbal Thai toothpaste says its dark-colored product “is black, but it’s good.”
Hours before the apology was issued by Dunkin’ Donuts headquarters, the company’s chief executive in Thailand dismissed the criticism as “paranoid American thinking.”
“It’s absolutely ridiculous,” the CEO Nadim Salhani said in a telephone interview. “We’re not allowed to use black to promote our doughnuts? I don’t get it. What’s the big fuss? What if the product was white and I painted someone white, would that be racist?”
Salhani said that the Thai franchise of Dunkin’ Donuts operates independently of the American operation and that doughnut sales have increased about 50 percent since the campaign was launched around two weeks ago, which he attributed to curiosity about the new advertisements.
“Not everybody in the world is paranoid about racism,” said Salhani, a Lebanese expatriate in Thailand who said his teenage daughter was the model featured in the campaign. “I’m sorry, but this is a marketing campaign, and it’s working very well for us.”
