Former New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey on Wednesday said he owes a quarter-million dollars to his boyfriend but wants to pay child support for the daughter he has with his estranged wife, as well as for a child from an earlier marriage.
The nation's first openly gay governor denied, however, that he is financially dependent on boyfriend Mark O'Donnell.
"I want to pay child support. I want to fulfill my obligations," McGreevey told a state judge during his third day of testimony in his divorce trial. "Unfortunately, I have had to bankrupt myself to pay legal fees upon legal fees."
McGreevey said O'Donnell has loaned him much of the legal costs, as well as the $3,000 that McGreevey is charged monthly for residing in O'Donnell's Plainfield mansion.
Yet McGreevey said he could not recall asking O'Donnell to cover child support for a daughter by his first wife and is now $11,000 behind.
