Judge Rules Mathew Knowles Has Been Overpaying Child Support, Won’t Have To Pay Anything For Three Years

Beyonce’s dad — the onetime millionaire manager of Destiny’s Child — just got a pass from a judge on his child support obligation … because he grossly overpaid in the past.

As we’ve reported … baby mama Alexsandra Wright has dragged Mathew Knowles in and out of court for months … accusing him of falling behind in support payments for their 3-year-old son.

Knowles had been ordered to pay Wright $12K a month as of Feb. 2013 … but a few weeks ago, he got a judge to reduce it to $2,485 a month, claiming his income had dwindled.

But sources familiar with the case tell us … Knowles just scored again, convincing the judge he’s been OVER-PAYING all along — arguing the entire time he should only have been paying $2,485 … amounting to an overpayment of $110K.

The judge agreed … giving him credit for the overpayment.

Bottom line Knowles won’t have to pay Wright — who has been getting $300 a month in food stamps — ANYTHING for the next 3-and-a-half years. Wright vows to continue her fight.

But there’s a final twist … Welfare officials typically come after the dad when the mom is on public assistance, so we’re told he’ll probably end up giving her something, beginning this summer.
