After failing to show up for a hearing in Canton, Massachusetts looks like Bobby Brown might face jail time. The troubled singer who recently split from wife Whitney Houston was supposed to attend a hearing today over delinquent child support payments.

Kim Ward, of Stoughton, the mother of Brown's teenaged daughter La Princia and son Bobby, Jr., claims that Brown owes her two months' support for the children amounting to $11,000. Brown also has one child with Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina, and an older son, Landon, with another woman.

In June 2004, the R&B star was sentenced to 90 days in prison for missing three months of payments, though the sentence was suspended after Brown made a $15,000 payment.

Brown’s Atlanta-based lawyer Phaedra Parks sought to employ the divorce proceedings in his defense. "The media is very aware of this very public divorce that's going on right now," said Parks to the AP. "It's unfortunate we find ourselves in Boston on this matter."
