NFL Player Corey Coleman Child Support & Disability Income Case

Initial Custody & Support Agreements

• 🤝 The court established joint managing conservatorship for Corey Coleman and Aziza MacIsaac over their child, Nyla Eve Coleman.
• 🏡 Ms. MacIsaac was granted the exclusive right to determine the child's residence within Dallas or surrounding counties.
• 🗓️ A standard possession and access schedule was agreed upon, with communication handled via the AppClose application.
• ⚕️ Mr. Coleman is responsible for maintaining the child's health and dental insurance, with additional healthcare expenses split 50/50.
• ⚖️ This initial agreement is a temporary order, with the case referred to the district court for further proceedings.

Father's Financial Situation

• 🏈 Mr. Coleman receives a Total Permanent Disability (TID) benefit from the NFL, documented at $11,250 per month ($135,000 annually).
• 🎓 He is also employed as a coach at TCU, earning a salary of $70,000 per year.
• ⚠️ The NFL disability income is temporary and subject to forfeiture if he earns over $30,000 annually from other employment, which he currently does.
• 🏥 Mr. Coleman stated he uses the disability funds to pay for extensive treatments (IVs, chiropractors) due to past football injuries.

Child Support Requests & Disputes

• 💰 Ms. MacIsaac requested maximum child support of $2,340 per month, based on Mr. Coleman's combined disability and coaching income.
• 🍼 She also sought an additional $300-400 per month to cover nanny costs, citing Mr. Coleman's away games and her weekend work schedule.
• 📉 Mr. Coleman proposed a child support amount of $1,500 per month, arguing it was fair given his past contributions and the temporary nature of his disability income.
• 🗺️ A point of contention was Ms. MacIsaac's move to Kaufman County, which Mr. Coleman suggested was to complicate visitation, while her lawyer attributed it to housing affordability.

Childcare Arrangements

• 💸 Historically, Mr. Coleman had been paying for the child's nanny and daycare expenses.
• 🛑 Ms. MacIsaac testified that Mr. Coleman stopped covering nanny costs after an argument, placing a financial burden on her for his designated weekends.
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Mr. Coleman asserted that the nanny was primarily for Ms. MacIsaac's convenience, as his mother provides care when the child is with him during his unavailability.
• 🗓️ The need for a nanny arose from Mr. Coleman's new work schedule with TCU, which includes away games, impacting his mother's ability to provide consistent care.

Court's Temporary Ruling

• ✅ The court accepted the agreed portions of the order presented by the parties.
• 💵 Child support was ordered at $2,340 per month, aligning with the state's maximum guidelines based on Mr. Coleman's current earnings.
• 📅 This child support order is effective starting October 1, 2025, and is part of a temporary order.
• 🏛️ The case will be referred to the district court, with the possibility of further temporary orders if financial circumstances, particularly regarding the disability income, change.
