Flo Rida's legal battle with the mother of his son Zohar Dillard came amid serious concerns for the little one's well-being. Moreover, the 6-year-old fell five stories from a building and reportedly received treatment at an ICU. Now, it seems like the Carol City rapper and singer received an order from a New York judge to pay a whole lot in child support on Thursday (May 25), according to Insider. Said payments will go to Zohar's mother, Alexis Adams. Furthermore, their child was diagnosed with autism and hydrocephalus, a brain condition.
According to these reports, Flo Rida must now pay various monthly and annual amount totaling around $500,000. Family Court judge Shira Atzmon said that the artist must give Adams $14,000 a month for child support and over $2,200 monthly payments for healthcare expenses. In addition, he must also set up an escrow account totaling $300,000 in order for Zohar to receive proper care. Also, he paid $188,000 as an immediate upfront payment for Zohar's school costs and other considerations. Shortly after he fell, the 43-year-old took to Instagram to express his appreciation for the support amid the legal battle.

"Great day, thank you to everyone who reached out with their concerns and prayers for my son,” Flo Rida wrote. “He is getting the best medical care and miraculously survived a tragic fall. I ask for your continued prayers as he undergoes rehabilitation but I would appreciate that this remains a private matter." However, even this situation fell under a lot of scrutiny due to his alleged lack of action. Later reports indicated that Zohar's medical bills saw no financial assistance from the "What A Night" hitmaker, meaning that he didn't pay them at all.
Meanwhile, this court order ends a long and arduous legal process between Flo and Alexis Adams. Towards the end of April of this year, he reportedly did not show up to court as proceedings went on surrounding this case. Hopefully Zohar gets the care and support that he needs, even if it unfortunately came from a contentious and antagonistic battle. Regardless, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Flo Rida.
