Urlacher, son's mom in new clash

Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher and the mother of his 2-year-old son both failed to complete the parenting class they were ordered in July to take, they said at a hearing in a Will County courtroom Monday. Judge Dinah Archambeault set a new date of Oct. 1 for them to complete it.

For much of their son's life, Urlacher and Tyna Robertson have been in and out of court in disputes over custody, co-parenting and child support. The latest hearings have centered on missed co-parenting time and transporting the boy between her home in Joliet and his in Lake Forest. On Monday, the issue was whether Robertson should drive her son to and from Urlacher's since he missed Father's Day weekend with his dad.When they appeared in court in July, Robertson was found in civil contempt of a co-parenting order for failing to deliver the child to his father on two dates. Robertson was ordered to transport the boy to Urlacher's chosen location for the next five visits, provide four overnight makeup days and transportation. She is appealing that ruling.

Monday's proceeding took a somewhat humorous turn during a recess when Urlacher broke the wooden chair he was sitting on as he tried to scoot forward. The 258-pound linebacker caught himself, showed off the broken leg, and exchanged the chair for another.
