This was no simple task. Henry, 30, a former N.F.L. running back who played for three teams from 2001 to 2007, has nine children -- each by a different mother, some born as closely as a few months apart.

The disputes have even eclipsed the attention he received after he was indicted on charges of cocaine trafficking.
