TENNESEE (CBS) - A Tennessee man who's fathered more than 20 kids says he can't pay all their mother's child support.
29-year-old Desmond Hatchett works a minimum wage job.
His children range in age from newborn to 11. They were born to at least 11 different women.
"I had four kids in the same year. Twice," said Hatchett.
When his paycheck is split up, some get less than $2.00 in child support.
"The children can't be supported all by Desmond, so the state of Tennessee has had to step in," Hatchett's attorney Keith Pope said.
The state says it can't stop him from having more kids, but are working out how to pay the mothers.
