State Lawmaker Accused Of Owing Thousands In Child Support

State Representative Kevin Wallace is Chairman of the House Appropriations and Budget Committee, which means he’s in charge of the state’s budget. But his ex-wife’s accusing him of shorting her more than $25,000 in child support since their divorce in 2013. 

Edmond Attorney Rita Jencks represents Angela Wallace. She says Kevin hasn’t paid a dime in child support or his half of their two children’s medical expenses. 

Kevin responded Wednesday afternoon by saying the following, “I have paid over $250,000 in support and payments since our divorce. My mistake was trusting our verbal agreement. I had hoped we could settle our differences without attorneys and in private. I was wrong.”

Kevin is due back in court in Chandler on February 5, for a civil contempt hearing. 

Jencks said Angela is, “in an emotionally better off place now than she was in the heated and emotional proceeding in 2012-2013.”
