Jon Gosselin took to Twitter today to defend himself against a recent story by Radar Online. Yesterday, Radar Online reported that the reality TV star had fallen behind with his child support payments that would assist his ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, in providing for their eight children.
According to records listed on the Pennsylvania Department of Child Welfare’s website obtained by Radar Online, he has an “arrears balance” of $3,557.06.
Using Twitter to respond, Jon said: “There is no story, I pay CS. The state site is my recurring balance. so guess what, it will always be there. Every month. Paid in full.” “Great digging up a story about nothing. Find something else to write about. I pay my water bill too, why dont you make that a story. morons”
E!OnLine is reporting that they also obtained these records and questioned attorney Tony Slaten regarding this matter.
Slaten stated to E! News that the “arrears balance” listed for Jon is in fact “an order by the court to pay your support and a noncompliance [with it] is a contempt of court.” Because the amount Jon owes isn’t huge, Slaten says the former reality star “could just be shortly behind and he is just about to pay it in the next day or so.”
Laws vary from state to state on consequences for failing to pay child support, however Jon Gosselin seems confident that he has this under control and there are no issues.
Jon was caught LYING once again.
It clearly states he is in arrears~ which means he is BEHIND on his CS payments.
IMO it doesn’t matter how late he is paying it~ he is late.
If he wasn’t behind there would be no story here~ what makes me LMAO is the excuses and lies Jon and his sheeple have come up with to twist the truth.
Yes, of course Jon’s lovers believe anything coming out of his mouth. A lien is not a recurring balance. Wonder if Jon is waiting for direct deposit tax refund to pay the bill.
If Jon was curent, the balance would say 0, wouldn’t it. I highly doubt that he pays 3600 grand a month in cs, with a job in IT. Was he ever in a lead position in IT. Backup means you work under someone. Jon really likes to pump himself up, while his kids don’t receive their cs. The court has the records Jon, don’t spin it and make yourself look worse.
To bad Tony Slaten tweeted this to Jon himself. LMAO!!!

TROY SLATEN @troyslaten
Is @jongosselin1 behind on his child support? I breakdown the legal aspects of possible arrears on @eonline here: http://tinyurl.com/6wjy2ty
He clearly says Jon IS in arrears but not that much. Jon wants everyone to believe he pays that much monthly.
Snickers, Jon said in his own words on LinkEd? that he’s been working as an inside salesman for Omega Systems and he has a sole proprietorship as a network engineer and dedktop support. My question is how does a person with no documented work history in IT walk in the door as a network engineer? I worked as a 1099 contractor & W2 employee in IT and I ain’t NEVER seen that happen.
Exactly Deb, Great point!
Deborah,
No way Jon pays that much, more like 800 bucks. I think the court called him in, book coming out, quiting a job, he will have to reports earnings for promoting bars on twitter. Sure is funny, Jon never admitted going to court, that little issue he just side stepped.
I can tell you I work in IT Ms. Goody, do you believe me? What job did Jon just quit or was he fired?
Deborah, you’re right. Jon sure did sidestep the court issue when he tweeted to folks don’t concern yourselves with that silly court stuff.
Snickers, I’d believe you before I’d believe Jon! He could have quit or was fired. I don’t know. Ziggy provided a link to a job networking site. He never mentioned the solar panel installation job either.
Ms.Goody,
Thanks, but I don’t. Jon blows his ego up, while slouching on a couch, playing farmville and eating taco’s. 🙂
NOBODY walks in the IT door as a network engineer without some vendor certifications & contiguous/continuous IT experience. That is the TRUTH!
On twitter, he seems to be blaming Kate. Why is it her fault if he’s behind? Smh
As far as desktop support goes there are 3 levels. Jon is a LIAR.
Mary, dontchaknow that Jon blames Kate for all of his problems.
Yes MsGoody Jon is a known LIAR ~ Jon;s old therapist Sylvia Lafair said Jon is a liar and his significant others should just accept that fact.
I wish somebody would ask Jon what network engineering certifications and experience does he have AND what platform/capacity desktop support does work in.
Ms Goody, I think you made a very valid point when you said Ellen’s close friends work in the PA county records office.
IMO you hit the nail on the head.
Coco, that’s my gut feeling. Ellen spilled the beans. Think about it. As soon as Jon announced their breakup on Twitter he was reported with a new woman. Aoso, Jon ran interference when somebody as Jon about Ellen and Jon tweeted immediately they are cool and good friends befo
Before Ellen had a chance to reply
I meant to say someone tweeted Ellen about her breakup with Jon and he answered within seconds for her to say they were cool.
I think your hunch is right MsGoody,
Ellen can not come out publicly against Jon~ She knows his sheeple would tear her to shreds.
Circumstantial evidence is pointing towards Ellen spilling info behind the scenes as they say : )
Yes supply pay support every month, but arrears means he’s behind and owes. How does he reconcile the ‘arrears balance’ part?
–
I saw his twitter exchange, and the people lapping it up. Even saw some defend his LA trip, saying he was ‘working (when Kate does that, it’s called ‘whoring’ or ‘grifting’).
–
I saw some hater asking Jon to block another hater. Funny stuff.
Ms. Goody: I can verify what you are saying. My SIL has spend years studying and taking test to get his certificates in IT, and he does not call himself an engineer. However, when you own your own business, you can call yourself whatever you want. Does not make it true though.
So if Jon’s story is true, and this is something that will always show up because this is his reoccurring balance, wouldn’t all people who owe child support show up on this same list, being listed as in arrears????
–
I’m highly doubting that, based on income, that he is expected to pay 3600 a month, he likely doesn’t even make that much a month!
The headline said “3577? BEHIND!!!!!! Very simple, most people can read. Sorry Jon’s fans are dense.
Proof will be for someone to check every month. If the balance changes in anyway, Jon lied; and if somebody calls the state of PA for their clarification of a lien/arrears, Jon lied again.
I tweeted Kate earlier today with the E! Online article. She responded to me:
Mo
@mojitosplace @Kateplusmy8 http://www.eonline.com/news/jon_gosselin_3500_behind_in_child/308645
@Kateplusmy8 @mojitosplace I hate 2 get in2 it, but I must say I know for a fact the PA CS website is accurate&up 2 date. That’s all I’m saying.
I got a Twitter DM from a very reliable source. They called the State of PA Child Support Division and was told if your name is listed in the liens section your child support is in arrears.
Jon lied…….
Again.
I think maybe Jon should have had no comment on the whole ROL story. The non fans think the kids will see all of this someday. Someone please remind them the kids live this everyday! When the cs is not there for them, Mother’s have to stretch their budgets farther.
I’ve been wanting to mention this all day! Ruth made some really great points on the previous thread!
Phew, so much going on today..I don’t know where to start reading..LOL Maybe twitter 🙂
Momsby, stay here, don’t go to twitter. YOur mind might explode. LOL, that place is on fire tonight.
I am stunned at the way Kate is being blamed, once again, for Jon’s bad behavior. Jon is NOT a victim. The Khaters are so blinded by their hate for Kate that they will excuse anything he does. Do you think they would do the same if their husbands were behind in CS? I doubt it.
Snickers, if Jon is suppose to pay $1200 for child support, according to federal guidelines for folks receiving food stamps, Jon is short $400. My cousin is a caseworker for DHS in Illinois. Folks get $200 per person/per month.

HELL TO THE NO!!!!!
Ms G 36:
$200 in Food Assistance per month if the client has zero income or their expenses exceed the income that the have. It’s a calculation based on HH size, income and expenses.
I do want to say that I think there is a very real possibility that Jon is paying her current obligation but may possible have some arrears. As long as he’s paying the current obligation I don’t think they will go after him. If he wasn’t paying anything at all, then they would persue other alternatives.
Mo,
In my state you pay the judge, filings fee’s from the court, and interest on back cs.
Mojito, I didn’t know. I just figured it was $200 per person for everybody.
that makes sense that if jon pays the current amount in full every month, but none on the outstanding amount he is behind, then the amount will always show in arrears.
$200 is for 1 person. EA additional person is another $164 (I think). There is a max payout for ea household size. But sometimes a HH of 5 could only receive $190 depending on their circumstances. 🙂
if the haters would just read the statements made by the *real* lawyer above then they’d understand. but they won’t…they’ll let becks and jon spin the truth…and continue to look like the sheeple they claim we are. more and more i see the haters as sheeple. they just don’t think for themselves and only believe what is told them by other haters OR anything that is the opposite of what kate says.
Snickers,
I invented the internet just so you could work as an IT engineer.
BlogHawg,
LMAO, I’ll get right on that. :)))))
Yes, they don’t seem to understand that Kate’s income is figured into the support as well as Jons. They are too worried about who leaked the story instead of blaming it on Jon being a public figure (as they do Kate).
They keep yelling at her to get a job. They just don’t like the work she has. If Jon had snagged a blogging endorsement, they would be singing how ingenious he was for making $s and being around for the kids at the same time.
Does anyone think Jon pays $3600 a month in support? I say no way, so the $3600 he is behind, would be about $1200 a month, which would be 3 months behind.
After reading the very intelligent comments here tonight I think it sounds like Jon might have fallen in arrears previously, has not paid what he owes the kids, but is now paying his current CS bill. That would explain Jon’s position that he pays every month and why the arrears is still recorded on the PA site.
.
Thanks for all the info on CS and IT engineer status from the experts here. I love that we have so many different commenters with so much expertise!
Snickers said

———————–
HELL TO THE NO!!!!!!!
Snickers, the person that tweeted Kate said Jon’s child support payments total $1200 a month. She/he was very specific.
No, I do not think that Jon pays 3600. per month. Now that he has quit his day job or was fired, he will get more behind in his CS unless he gets a big advance from his publisher, but that I cannot imagine either. 1200.00 was probably based on his salary from Omega Systems. He and Ellen could still be in cahoots to sell stories. IMO.
Rosemary, I doubt Ellen is in cahoots with Jon about anything now. When Jon breaks up with women he leaves with a lot of acrimony between them.
Ms. Goody: What is that saying about keeping your enemies close? Jon and Ellen had quite a scheme going there for awhile selling stories. The past usually can predict the future. This is just a gut feeling on my part, especially since she was surely smart and mature enough not to sign a confidentiality agreement, and we have heard nothing from her since the breakup.
Rosemary, you definitely have a point. Jon will come up with the money to pay back child support come hook or crook!
Rosemary,
I don’t think J/E are doing anything togehter. Ellen has a new relationship and from what I heard, Ellen knew who Jon’s new gal pal was. Jon had the new gf and then kicked Ellen to the curb. Now, maybe Ellen outed the info by herself. Sounds like Jon was living off her and his Mom. Maybe Jon owes her money too, just like he has owed the others.
Snickers: I am sure that he owes Ellen money, and if he has any credit cards they are probably maxed out. Desperate people do desperate things, and if that book does not pan out, Jon will be desperate. I never understood the concept of putting people in jail when they owe money. That always seem to defeat the purpose to me. IMO
You know that amount could very well be what needs to be caught up and just coincides with being 3 months behind.
As far as arrears goes its not a large amount.
Both Kate & Jon could be telling the truth. Yes its true he owes it and yes he pays every month.
3555. is a lot of money if you do not have any money or a steady income.
It is bedtime on the East coast for retired people. Have Friends on the TV. I do not know why. I have seen every episode several times. Just a better alternative to all the bad news at bedtime. Goodnight all.
Goodnight folks
I would be shocked if Jon paid $3600.00 a month, that would be a lot of money for someone that is barely employed.
Night Rosemary 😉
Great discussion tonight ladies!
When you break it all down it does seem to be a difference in perspective & both Jon & Kate simply view the situation differently! I’m trying to give them both the benefit of the doubt.
Well if Kate was counting on that money in her budget at the end of each month, I am sure that she went without a few things.
We all follow a budget with what comes in and all we have to pay. It makes me very angry not only because it is Kate but because of the children. It is also because if Jon had the children, he would have to have the money to take care of them no matter what.
It does not matter whether it is $3,000 or $300., child support is for the children. Again, if he had the children, I am sure he would not be quitting his second job so matter of factly. He puts the burden all on Kate, AGAIN.
I always like to give Jon the benefit of the doubt, but it does truly bother me that any man would not support his children. Jon never seems to mind putting the burden of supporting the children on Kate or making things hard for her emotionally. Kate has a hard enough time just being taxi mom and caring for the eight without having to put a full time job in the mix. Maybe now that he is only working from home, he can help with the school pickups and dinner at least once a week.
Child support is all about the children. I’m not sure what haters don’t seem to understand about that. But it does prove that haters are not at all concerned with any of the Gosselin kids.
–
There is no way he pays 3600 a month. Do the math, he would have to make at least double that to start with to even come to that number. IT techs in PA are not making 8000+ a month.
–
I think he does pay every month, but is twisting the truth a little about how much, or the arrears comes from a time when child support was much higher.
–
The listing is an arrears, that means he owes. That means for whatever reason, he didn’t honor a commitment to his kids at some point. This isn’t about Kate.
It never occurred to me that might not be Jon’s monthly total. There’s little doubt that the brunt is falling on Kate to keep them in their school and home. That’s why it bothers me when Jon dogs Kate around, as he did w/Em Tanner and the Phillypap guy. “Leave her alone, she’s supporting your kids.”
/
Whatever happened to that blackout? hee hee ;)-
Marnie said…The listing is an arrears, that means he owes. That means for whatever reason, he didn’t honor a commitment to his kids at some point. This isn’t about Kate.
**************
NICELY SAID !
Whatever happened to that blackout? hee hee
It is scheduled to start right after the protest outside TLC’s head quarters which, two day after NEVER.
I don’t think Jon knows the definition of arrears. LOL Snickers, maybe Jon thinks playing Farmville is IT work. It seems he has a problem with the definition of many things.
.
Waves to Blog Hawg!!!!!!
Marnie, 1099 IT techs, as contractors w/ experience and certifications can make $12,000+ a month before taxes, at least in Illinois. The W2 folks with the same experience & certifications earn 80k+ and averaging a salary of 100k.
I know because I’ve been there & done that before illnesses and family commitment.
Marnie, Jon however will not put in the hard work and money to be industry/vendor certified and he does not have years of contiguous work history in technology.
Exactly my point Goody. Jon isn’t making 8000+ a month so there is no way his month child support commitment is 3600
–
Lily you hit e nail on the head. If Jon spent as much time being thankful that Kate is responsible for his children remaining in their home and their schools as he did trying to convince the world he is such a nice normal private guy who just happens to only show it at Kate’s expense, then maybe I’d be a little more understanding and empathetic about his whole situation.
–
Child support is about the kids, the fact that haters are making it about Kate makes me want to vomit.
Marine, you hit the nail on the head!
.
Child support is about the kids, the fact that haters are making it about Kate makes me want to vomit.
Msgoody, you’ve got it exactly right concerning Jon. He would never put in the hard work required to make a good living for his family. I’ve always been suspicious when Jon said he did IT work. That can mean a number of things.
.
The people I know in the IT field exhibit far more, to put it delicately, natural intelligence than I’ve ever seen from Jon. They’re also math whizzes. Jon couldn’t even figure out a family budget when he was married to Kate. IMO, none of his “strengths” have ever pointed to a natural aptitude for IT work.
.
What some people do not understand is that Jon owes money to the children not Kate.
correction: owes money to the children and not to Kate
Barf! Last week the haters went back and forth about Cara and Mady’s physique, these week is Collin’s turn to be mauled by the child advocates!
Marnie, the haters are sickening at times!
It strikes me that it might be difficult for Jon to find employment. His tabloid period leaves any employer with a bad taste. Then there is the continued craziness of his fans. If you were hiring someone to do an IT job the last thing you want is someone notorious attracting attention. So he might have done himself permanent harm with his silliness at bars.
Marnie: The haters should leave all the kids alone. However, Collin might be taking ADD meds, and that would account for him being thinner. I have read that those meds do take away the appetite, and that is why some adults abuse them. Asian children are naturally small boned.
Marie: When Jon made that unkind remark on twitter about some of his customers, I thought then that his current job would be coming to an end. One does not make public comments like that when you are in the customer service business.
I thought the exact same thing, Rosemary. Twitter is far too big, just like facebook to go bad mouthing ANYTHING having to do with your employment.
That is so immature and just plain dumb. I expect that kind of stuff from some teenager, but a grown adult? Sheesh.
Jon Gosselin will never be a grown adult.
It’s very silly. The pic was a SC of the fishing episode that was filmed almost two years ago. It was uploaded by someone oh, so concerned about the kids and hateful towards Kate. Again, they’re still using the kids to try to get at Kate.
/
There’s all of sizes of kids out there; fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks. Tough kids, sissy kids. Even kids with chicken pox…:)
/
The last time I looked at Kate’s blog, it was obvious that the kids have grown and changed.
/
It was a just silly khater, but how on earth do they think of this stuff?
The INF pics of the kids hunting easter eggs amazed me. I think that it was Mady in the white dress….she looks a lot different to me. Much more young lady, than girl, and the 6 are getting quite tall.
Kmom2: Re: INF photos. I am not convinced that the girl in the white dress is Mady. She seems to have a fuller body than Mady, her hair is longer and darker, and the face seems different. It might be one of their friends. Also, one of the boys did not look like the tups. I thought that the man in the photos could possible be those two children’s father. JMO
Oh that’s true, Rosemary. I forgot they did have friends over hunting eggs as well. Silly me!
I am absolutely FURIOUS with the haters, especially ECJ, for doing this to the Gosselin children. These FAUX “child advocates” have finally proven that their obsessions have NOTHING to do with the kids’ well-being, it’s all about getting even with Kate and DESTROYING her totally! >:-(
Yes,that was a screenshot of a child lying down having the heaves while dealing with seasickness,good grief. What these haters continue to ignore/forget is that these 6 younger children were born PREMATURELY. They were much smaller than singleton babies at birth. They are high order multiples and that means they are going to be lagging a bit behind kids who were singletons or even twins…at some point in time they may grow taller and bigger and catch up with their same aged counterparts, but research says that’s farther down the line…from all indications, the Gosselin kids are very energetic, athletic kids, burning up calories, so of course they are thin…Kate shows their plates, and has said they eat all they want, why would she pile a boatload of food on their plates?? Portion control is NOT a bad thing, if more moms and dads controlled their children’s food portions, obesity in kids might not be the epidemic it is in this country!
Those kids ARE healthy, even Jon has said they are “flourishing” which cannot always be said for multiples/HOMs. The haters are using every bit of crap they can find to throw at the wall and see what sticks in their obsession to destroy Kate., because at this point, NOTHING else will do. Kate MUST be destroyed in their eyes, and even then, it won’t be enough to exonerate her of her “crimes” toward JON’S children. i am very glad she and the kids still have security watching out for them!! These people are just plain nuts. SCARY nuts! :-O
Has Jon responded to any of this today? Seems to me the ball is in his court, and if he does NOT speak out *against* his “friends”, Kate has good evidence that he does not have the kids’ best welfare in mind and that he’s encouraging DANGEROUS behavior toward the kids AND Kate. Might even cost him his parental rights down the line?!? Jon Gosselin needs to man up already, drop his vengeful attitude toward his ex-wife, stop encouraging his “friends’ ” hateful, psychotic behavior and start PROTECTING his kids, like a REAL man would do! Right now, IMO, he’s FAR from being a real man, and a real father! Time to decide, Jon! Your “friends”, or your children? YOU CAN’T HAVE BOTH.
I’d bet a box of Mike & Ike’s he chooses his “friends”!!
Those haters have gone too far. I wish Kate would do something about this. This is not free speech, it is defamation.
Gee Whiz,
I agree, both Jon and Kate owe it to their children to finally stop all of this. Maybe they are working with their lawyers today. One could hope—-.
Can someone explain to me how Kate is in control of a state website? Those non Kate fans are trying to blame this on Kate but I doubt she had any say so if Jon’s name was published on a state website.
Kate has no contol, something they throw out there and stupid people who chat with them eat up that crap. The problem with this kind of statement makes you really think about how they walk amoung the sane people of the world. Now that’s scary!
Kmom2: I just looked at the photos on Kate’s website, and Mady is wearing the white dress. So, you were correct. That was Mady in the INF photos. She is getting so pretty and grown-up looking.
Thanks Rosemary……she sure looks different in those photos, doesn’t she. I sure miss seeing the kids as much as we did when they were on tv.
Ref: New Radar and Star articles about Jon. I guess we know where he found the money to pay his back child support.
I started a new thread…open discussion. I had to post date it so it would not take a place on the home page slider. Feel free to discussion whatever you want there
