It seems like the child support drama will be the central issue in this season of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta."
In the recently concluded episode, Erica Dixon wanted her ex-fiancé Lil Scrappy to pay his back child support amounting to $45,000. Because of the huge amount involved, Erica talked with her legal counsel to find out what she could do to make him comply with his child support obligations.
According to Erica's lawyers, she could have Lil Scrappy arrested if he failed to pay the back child support for their daughter Emani. But Erica was not sure about this because she did not want to be the one to send him back behind bars. However, she had no other choice but to sign the demand papers so that her lawyers could serve it to Scrappy.
But since Lil Scrappy's mother Momma Dee was with him when he was served with the legal papers, she decided to meet up with Erica and discuss it with her.
During their conversation, Momma Dee calmly reminded Erica that Scrappy loves their daughter so much and that he would give her the money when she needs it. But Erica replied that she would not have sent the legal papers if Scrappy had done his part in raising their daughter.
Despite their conversation, Erica said that she and Momma Dee have no bad blood between each other.
"Even though me and Scrappy aren't in a good place, Momma Dee has been putting in effort to treat me like she should have been treating the mother of her grandchild," she said.
Meanwhile, Stevie J was also featured in the past episode, as the music producer headed out to the Tangu Rehab Center to address his substance abuse problems. He repeatedly failed the series of drug tests that was mandated by the court during his own child support case.
Stevie J was sent off by his partner Joseline Hernandez, who showed her full love and support while he dealt with his 30-day rehab treatment.
