The current Real Madrid ambassador said that he suffers when he can't see his 11 children but three of his ex-partners accuse him of lying and not looking after them.

On a Brazilian radio station, the former Madrid player said that he was suffering because he is unable to see some of his children, much to the indignation of his former partners.

Three of them have accused him of lying and not attending to the needs of their children, despite court rulings, according to 'Sport'.

To cut a long story short, two of his three ex-partners have taken legal action against the former footballer.

The first was Brazilian Barbara Thurler, who filed for neglect after not receiving alimony for his two children. The legal process encouraged Hungarian Alexandra Phaedra to come forward too.

The Mexican, Dora Robles, has not taken any legal action against the former footballer, but also claims not to have received the child support stipulated by the judge. For the moment, Carlos is attempting to resolve the issue without involving lawyers.

The three claim that Carlos has neglected his children on more than one occasion. Thurler even alleged that he had attempted to put his two children on the streets despite their young age, she said: ''My son asks me if his father has died.'' 

Carlos denies the accusations and reiterated that the lack of contact with his kids is due to the distance between countries and a bad relationship with their mothers.

The Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice had ordered an arrest warrant for the former defender regarding the child support maintenance for Thurler, but it appears that he dealt with the situation and agreed to meet financial deadlines.
