Last month, former Family Matters star Darius McCrary was arrested for failure to pay child support. He was booked on a felony charge on November 27, reportedly owing upwards of $50K. McCrary is a father to three children, two daughters and a son. He was later arraigned and pled not guilty to the charge.

A judge then set his bond at just over $13K, and per their terms, McCrary would have to wear a GPS device. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, however, he’s still in custody. Unfortunately, this also isn’t the first time McCrary’s run into some issues for allegedly failing to pay child support. He was similarly arrested back in 2015 for being behind by roughly $5K, but was released the same day. In 2017, he revealed that he was struggling to make payments due to financial strain, claiming that he only brought in $500 the year prior.

In a 2020 interview with VladTV, the actor spoke about the nonprofit he founded, FathersCare. The organization aims to assist fathers by providing them with the resources they need to be the best parents they can be. During his conversation with DJ Vlad, he raised issues with the court system, arguing that it oftentimes “pushes” fathers out of their children’s lives. “My experience with my son has led me down a very difficult road,” he explained. “It’s been a really ugly experience of what the court system can do to men who really want to be in their children’s lives.”

“The system wasn’t broken it was designed this way,” he added, elaborating on his organization’s mission. “It’s a cold-blooded hustle, man. Child support is to support the child, not failed relationships.” What do you think of Darius McCrary getting arrested for allegedly failing to pay child support?

Actor Darius McCrary has filed for a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend who allegedly threatened to steal his dog, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The Family Matters star first asked the court for a protective order against his ex in August 2022, after she allegedly broke his car window and attempted to attack him with a lead pipe.

McCrary, 46, was denied that protection after he was listed as a no-show on court records. However, McCrary alleged he missed the court date because he was “displaced” at the time due to having to “flee” his ex.

More than a year and a half later, McCrary is now back in court once again.

McCrary claimed his ex was in possession of valuable items that the actor owns.

“She will not return my personal items and is attempting to extort me,” McCrary said.

“I am afraid she will cause further damage. She continues to call me a punk (and other names we are choosing not to list) and is slandering my name in several professional circles of the entertainment industry,” McCrary’s added.

McCrary added that the severity of the situation had him fearful that he would “end up like Phil Hartman,” who was a famous comedian and SNL star who was fatally shot by his wife, Brynn Omdahl, in a murder-suicide in 1998 while their marriage was on the rocks.
