This is an answer to a post that was in the last thread. Please feel free to skip it.
However, I think that tartlemon was somehow drawing a parallel between this case and the O.J. Simpson case. Before looking at that, I thought there were some errors in her post that should be corrected.
Where are your sources for this? Do you have inside information about money given by O.J. Simpson to his children?
1. First, to clarify in the people involved in the Civil suit against O.J. Simpson

2. O.J. Simpson was found not guilty of murder, but was found to be liable for Nicole Brown's death in a civil suit. As a result of that finding, an amount was set by the court which Simpson was supposed to pay.

Simpson claimed poverty in order to avoid paying anything in damages. Kim Goldman believes that he hid his assets and continued to hide income other than his pension.

Courts had decided that the Goldmans could not collect the debt from any of the $25,000 per month pension he receives from the NFL, which should have meant the Simpson had more than enough money to support his four children. Therefore, the little money that was collected came from the sale of Simpson's book.

Since he was responsible for their upbringing, and that of his other two children, O.J. Simpson should have been making sure that his debts to the court were paid in order for his children to benefit. Since the punitive damages of the award were to be evenly split between the Goldman and Brown plaintiffs, the Goldmans were not taking any money from Justin and Sydney. The money was being taken from O.J. and set aside for Justin and Sydney.
When their mother, Nicole Brown, O.J. Simpson's ex-wife, was murdered, Justin was 5 and Sydney was 8. According to their aunt, Tanya Brown, both Justin and Sydney, having finished college, and are now professionals in the restaurant business. At the time of their grandfather, Lou Brown's, funeral in July of 2014, Justin Simpson was 25 and Sydney was 28.

4. There was a reason that the Goldmans pursued O.J.'s assets. (And here is where there may be a parallel.)

5. OJ Simpson remains behind bars at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada while he serves at least three more years of a 9 - 33 year sentence on robbery and kidnapping charges.
