After an emotional hearing on Tuesday, the judge ruled in Reyes’ favor, saying that he will continue to pay $11,500 a month. Reyes was not present at the hearing, but both sides are set to go back to court for a final decision.


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.
