After trying to avoid paying off his wrongful death settlement for years, Robert Blake has finally begun paying off his murdered wife's family.
He filed for bankruptcy shortly after being ordered to pay millions to the family of his murdered wife Bonnie Lee Bakley.
And now it has emerged that Robert Blake has been paying towards the $15m wrongful death penalty ordered after he lost his civil case.
Court documents filed as evidence for the Baretta star's federal bankruptcy proceedings show he has also been paying off his other creditors.
According to filings obtained by RadarOnline, the declaration of the court appointed trustee charged with settling the actor's outstanding debts said: 'I paid Debtor's three largest creditors, the Internal Revenue Service, Franchise Tax Board, and Blanchard Tual the administrator for the Estate of Bakley collectively $3,470,352.56.
'Part of the disbursements included estimated IRS and FTB tax payments for Robert Blake's estate for the year 2011: $810,000 in federal taxes, and $510,000 in state taxes for a total of $1,320,000.'
The court documents also ask that the bankruptcy case be closed.
A hearing is scheduled for the matter on August 21, 2012.
Even though Blake was controversially found not guilty acquitted of the 2001 murder his wife seven years ago, he was found by a civil jury to be responsible for her wrongful death.
The decision came after a lawsuit was filed by three of her children.Jacked from The Daily Mail

He is so Phil Spectre to me.....
That wife he had was one bad penny who PISSED OFF a lot of people because of her con jobs. She tried to pawn off Roberts child as Marlon Brando's grandchild by his son Christian who died a few years ago. Bonnie Blakly was also a hooker. Robert Blake married her to try and get custody of his daughter Rosie by her. Bonnie Blakly continued her slutty con job ways when someone murked her. Even her family (a sister of hers) spoke of how wild and sleazy she had been for years even before she met Robert.
I frankly DO NOT believe Robert killed her but she was bad news to anyone who associated with her.
I wonder how his daughter is doing and if Bonnie's family bad mouths her father to her.
You don't have to be married to fight for custody. This chick was a scam artist, married about 7 other times and bad news but she didn't deserve to die like this. He had enough money to pay her off because she didn't want the kid, just the $. He needs to be in jail. He will never admit what he did but at least the fam will get some rstitution. Ironically though, I beleve that kid is being raised by his daughter...Can't imagine his old behind still making babies...
