Desmond Hatchett – A Tennessee man named Desmond Hatchett has 21 kids at age 29 and a child support problem so severe that Hatchett is on an automatic jail order.

Seems Desmond Hatchett wasn’t planning on being 29 years old with 21 kids, telling a judge who was dividing Hatchett’s entire paycheck of $400 across back due child support claims from 11 women, “I didn’t intend to have this many. It just happened.”

Hatchett spent part of Friday afternoon jailed while a child support referee decided how to split up the $400 he brought to court.

The mothers of Hatchett’s children are supposed to get anywhere from $25 to $309 a month, but when his paycheck is garnished amongst them all, some women only get a $1.98 a month.

Twice, Hatchett has had four children born in the same year and the 11 women claiming child support account for only 15 of Hatchett’s 21 children.

By law, the State can only take 50% of Hatchett’s paycheck, but the competing claims filed by the eleven mothers mean Desmond will be back in court on a regular basis for the next twenty years.

“The children can’t be supported all by Desmond, so the state of Tennessee has had to step in,” Hatchett’s attorney Keith Pope said.
