Terrell Owens hasn't paid child support in nearly four months and one of his five baby mamas wants him fined, in jail, or both...

Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens is $20,000 in arrears in his child support payments to the Atlanta mother of one of his children, and she wants him fined or jailed if he doesn’t pay up, according to a new petition her attorney filed Friday.
The Fulton County contempt of court petition, the latest of several filed in the past year by Melanie Paige Smith, says Owens owes $5,000 for each of the months of December, January, February and March.
A Fulton County judge ordered the payments for the support of the couple’s daughter in March 2007.
“He has not indicated if he ever plans to send another penny for their daughter,” Smith’s attorney, Randall Kessler, said in a letter to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“We plan to ask the court to send a strong message, given that he has only paid support in the last 10 months after a contempt action has been filed against him,” Kessler said.
Efforts were being made late Friday to reach Owens for comment. He now plays for the Dallas, Texas-area Allen Wranglers in the Indoor Football League.
