Chris Aaron told RadarOnline.com that "Dr. Murray has every intention to pay the debt off. He's going to pay it.
"He was going to use the $150,000 per month that Michael Jackson was going to pay him, and he never received, and the revenue from his two practices to pay the back child support.
"Next thing you know, the $150,000 payment was stopped and his two clinics were shut down from death threats from Michael Jackson fans. He had no money.
"We are asking the Las Vegas District Attorney's office for a minimal payment plan until Dr. Murray gets his feet back on the ground. He intends to pay it off."
