Jude Law For Father Of The Year!

JLawPhone031510_05-full.jpg

Jude Law was spotted having an animated conversation with someone on his cell in the streets of New York yesterday.

After news of his child support settlement for 6-month old daughter Sophia (whom he just met for the first time) broke over the weekend, we can only imagine it was to his publicist to submit him for the Father of the Year award!

Jude's current agreement with baby-mama/one-night-stand Samantha Burke gives her $5,000 a month in child support according to NOTW, and only provides for him to visit the child twice a year.

Ouch.



Poor thing!

Do let me get this straight: He has to pay $30,000 per visit to see his own child? That sounds pretty crappy! Was that her request or his?

Oh my god, it's amazing how much credit is given to "sources" and rags like NOTW. Just because an agreement has been reached doesn't mean that's all there will be. Jude has been devoted and involved with his kids, and he'll be the same for Sophia. He's not malicious. It probably means the times that Sophia can come to Jude's and stay, and perhaps the mom only agreed to 2 times, particularly given that the child will have school, etc. Doesn't mean that Jude won't pop into Florida, but really, where's he gonna go there? Certainly not to Samantha's and her crazy family. A neutral location? How cozy is that? I think everybody needs to just quit judging this situation as though they have all the information. I doubt the arrangement is any different than divorced parents who find themselves on separate continents. Lighten up, it's only tragic if you let your imagination run away with you. If it's that bad, Samantha can move her ass to London, how about that?

Danielle, I imagine the "twice-a-year" visitation is probably the visits to Jude's home, which makes sense, given the distance. I don't think it means that he'll only see her twice a year. It doesn't bother to say how or why they came to that agreement, but sure, Jude's going to always be painted as the rat and not the father trying to figure his life with a new child, as every parent has to do....and nevermind the crap Samantha has pulled.

So this chick will be paid $60,000/year to raise her own child? Which she trapped a famous man into having with her?

The world is a strange place.... ;^)

Come on!! It is the best solution for one of the most awkward situations.

Hi Jude.. um a couple a months ago we had sex like twice over a week and never spoke again.. um no that was someone else. I was the model.. yeah me.. ok well I am pregnant. SURPRISE!!

What did you expect him to do marry her or sue her for sole custody? Of course he will support her financially and have somewhat minimal contact.

It's better then nothing. Geesh.

Im sure that woman planned to get pregnant. Any woman who knows their cycle KNOWS when they're fertile and theres only 2 days out of each month you can conceive so she knew what she was doing. Women like her give the rest of us a bad name.

Samantha should be embarrassed, what do you expect from a lifer at Hooters..
