Boyd gives mum $100k
BRISBANE Broncos captain Darius Boyd has been given approval by a Brisbane court to give his mum a slice of his inheritance.
In the District Court yesterday, Judge Greg Koppenol sanctioned the payment of $100,000 to Boyd’s mother Rochelle Lyndal Fleur Boyd, 53, from Coombabah.
The money is part of $623,000 Boyd was bequeathed by his grandmother and “Number 1” fan, Delphine Merle Boyd, a widowed dressmaker, who died aged 87 on September 17 last year.
Judge Koppenol told the court that he was satisfied the proposed settlement was appropriate.
The $100,000 out-ofcourt settlement was agreed to on August 21 at a conference with Darius’ lawyers, and those for his mother.
Rochelle Boyd told the court she did not receive a cent under her mother’s will and has total assets of $52,209.
She receives a disability pension and lives in a share house, the court was told.
Rochelle was not close to Delphine Boyd, the court was told.
