"Yes, part of the arbitration award consisted of a decision on property division and child support," Momjian tells RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. "And the amount of the child support goes from him to her and not the other way around."

But when it comes to how much (RadarOnline.com has been told by a source close to the situation that it's a "bundle" of money) Momjian is keeping mum, saying, "I can't confirm it. We haven't disclosed what the amount was.

"But, look, we¹re talking about 8 children here and the enormous expense that goes into raising those children, you¹re obviously going to have to deal with the reality of considerable financial support.

"It was an issue that was agreed to be presented to the arbitrator and part of the resolution was that an obligation was imposed (on Jon).

"We're just hoping that it doesn't become an issue down the road."
As far as who got what, Momjian said, "We're trying to keep a little bit of the privacy, given that in the arbitration both parties agreed not to disseminate information.
"It's a very detailed award that goes through all the allegations and I think the reality is that the parties felt it would benefit both of them to not disseminate it.

"So, I've got uphold that standing.
"But it does bring to bear one point and that is that one of Kate's primary objectives was to stay in the family home with the children and that's what she's going to continue to do.

"That was her focus from the beginning of the case and it's still her focus.
"It's important for the children¹s stability and continuity of care that they stay in an environment that's familiar and promotes their happiness.

Ya haters just keep on obsessively hating Kate. You'll continue to make her famous! Because you cannot help yourselves, you will keep tuning in, keep reading about her, so your attempts to sabotage her by hating her, FAIL! Only make her richer.

Where is all the money from the reality show they filmed?

I knew that good would triumph in the end. So happy for Kate and the 8. Jon needs a job to pay for that expensive NYC pad and child support. I am glad that Kate has primary custody of the kids. He's an idiot and not capable.

Martha,
I think has Jon has more than just the 2 personalities...it seems a little crowded in his psyche!

The higher (they think) they are, the harder the fall. One day Kate will be counting pennies, and it will hit TWICE as hard.

Wendie, don't know if you have ever watched the show, but Kate already counts pennys. I have a feeling that her first priority is to live within her means and save money. Kate has determination and a will to succeed. She & the 8 will be just fine.

Wonder if TLC and Kate are trying to keep enough pressure on Jon to make him to consent filming the kids again...blackmail usually backfires in the end. It did for Jon and it will for Kate and TLC. In the end, the kids will lose once again.

I wonder if the lawsuit he filed to prevent the kids filming still has to stand. I hope so. This hiring out your kids for your benefit has to STOP!

THere was no lawsuit, he simply objected and under the terms of the contract if EITHER parent objected at any time, the filiming would stop. He used this provision to try to blackmail TLC and get out of his contract.
