Man with 22 kids from 14 women sued for child support

A man, who has nearly two dozen children from more than a dozen women, has finally been sued to provide child support, according to court proceedings in Tennessee.
Orlando Shaw thought he was the father of 18 children with 17 women, but he actually has 22 children with
14 women, making him the most expensive deadbeat dad in the history of Tennessee.

Shaw appeared in court in Nashville when the Child Support Services sued him on behalf of the mothers, for tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid child support in recent years.

“I was young and ambitious and I love women,” Shaw, 33, said. He said that when he was young he wanted 50 children, but he is willing to get “fixed” now.

Shaw said he is proud of all his children, whose ages range from newborn to 18, and is glad of his Shaw family named.
The state is paying more than $7,000 a month to help support all of Shaw’s children. “How can we apply our support guidelines to this many children in this many homes?” Judge Scott Rosenberg asked.

Rosenberg said it would take three or four full-time jobs to even come close to paying Shaw’s child support.
Shaw is likely to go to trial in the case and could be imprisoned, but Shaw has been in jail before, and said that his criminal history is what makes it difficult for him to find a job.
