“He k!lled himself to avoid paying” – Francis Van-Lare alleges his daughter’s partner who took his life was a “dead beat dad”
Francis Van-Lare, the father-in-law of the late US-based Nigerian doctor, Dr. Ikenna Erinne, has shed light on the reason for the hefty child support.

In a Facebook post, Van-Lare dismissed allegations against his late son-in-law while clarifying the reasons behind the $15,000 child support order imposed on him.
Late Dr. Ikenna’s father-in-law reveals reason for hefty child support.
This came amid the backlash trailing the Van-Lare family, suggesting that the hefty child support triggered the reaction which led to the doctor’s suicide.
“To set records straight, Dr. Ikenna Erinne’s license was never revoked. He had active licenses in Illinois, New York, Virginia, and Maryland. One state cannot revoke all licenses at once, and none were revoked,” Van-Lare stated.
Addressing the hefty child support payment, he explained that the sum was determined due to the special care required for Erinne’s physically challenged son.
“The child support was set that much because he has a physically challenged son needing special care from different medical facilities, plus attending a special needs school that costs money. Courts consider the income of both parents before making decisions,” he added.
Van-Lare expressed his disappointment over Erinne’s actions, stating, “He is not a victim but failed his son and daughter, who are now left without their father. I just thank God he did not shoot my daughter and grandchildren in his madness.”
Questioning the rationale behind taking one’s own life over financial obligations, he added, “Which sane person takes his own life over money he is supposed to use to support his children? He was asked to pay child support, not alimony or spousal support, as my daughter is self-sufficient.”
Despite his critical remarks, Van-Lare extended his condolences. “May his soul rest in peace regardless. My family will raise the children without him.”
He went on to share bank statements showing how much the deceased paid per month.
He further alleged that the deceased sometimes only made part payment and he called him a “dead beat dad”.
