Mets infielder Jose Reyes sued for unpaid child support

Mets infielder Jose Reyes is being sued for allegedly not paying enough child support. The plaintiff in the case, Christina Sanchez, is suing on behalf of their 7-year-old daughter.

Sanchez’s lawyer, Steven Gildin told the New York Daily News that they “can sue for child support, but the law doesn’t allow us to sue Reyes for not being a good parent to his child. We are suing for financial support, but it would be nice if Christina’s child did not have to grow up without a daddy.”

The lawsuit states that Reyes is currently not paying the owed 17 percent of his income in child support, but his lawyer disagrees.
