A BULAWAYO "super dad" of eight, who is paying maintenance for seven of his children that he sired with three different women including his ex-wife, was yesterday dragged to court by his ex-wife who wants him garnished for defaulting in paying maintenance for her four children.
Richard Mupamhadzi is now a familiar face at the maintenance court after he was taken there recently by two other women seeking upward variation of their children's maintenance.
Mupamhadzi's ex-wife Cresencia Mubayiwa wants him garnished for defaulting in paying maintenance.
According to court records, in April 2013, Mubayiwa claimed $150 for child support from Mupamhadzi. The money was later increased to $240 in March last year after Mubayiwa had successfully applied for upward variation.
Yesterday, Mubayiwa applied for a garnish order after Mupamhadzi had accrued $90 arrears. She told the court that her-ex-husband's payments were inconsistent, hence her garnish order application.
Mupamhadzi pleaded with Magistrate Batania Tuwe not to grant the garnish order saying he had a lot of commitments.
The magistrate granted the garnish order of $255 a month. Magistrate Tuwe added $15 more to allow Mupamhadzi to clear his $90 arrears.
