A Las Vegas judge ruled today that Dr. Conrad Murray would now be required to make his $1,003 monthly child support payments to baby-momma Nenita Malibiran on time to avoid being thrown in jail.

Nenita, who did not appear in court today, waived the right to $13,000 in back child support, under the condition that Dr. Murray make his monthly payments on time from now on. He’ll also be required to check in with the judge every three months to prove that he’s been making his payments. His next court date is scheduled for January 4th.
