She was also required to pay an extra $20 a month that will go towards what she already owes towards child support. Purvis is scheduled for another hearing on August 5.
The child support case was first filed against Whitney in May 2023. By October, she owed more than $18,000 in unpaid child support.
In 2021, Weston won custody of their children and he and his wife, Amy Gosa, have custody of their 15 and nine-year-old sons, Weston Gosa Jr and River Gosa.
According to court documents, one of the Arrest Orders was issued for Whitney in August 2023. That order was rescinded on November 3 after Whitney made a purge payment of $1,000 toward the amount.
Whitney and Weston split up
Weston and Whitney split up not long after River was born in 2014. In 2020, Weston filed for a protective order against Whitney after she allegedly showed up at his house to pick up River without a car seat.
Weston said Whitney then “took off to my wife’s job and caused a scene by being loud/belligerent.” He claimed Whitney was asked to leave by the manager and said she “threatened to blow his brains out.”
A week after that incident, Weston says Whitney called him at work more than 100 times before 12.30pm. The judge signed off on the one-year protective order in September 2020.
