Nadya Suleman signed agreements for her 14 children to earn $250 a day to star in a reality show, according to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday.

The terms of the deal with Eyeworks (a European production company) will allow the children to earn an estimated $250,000 over a three year period. The documents were filed in a Los Angeles courthouse on Friday and still require a judge’s approval.

The contracts guarantee that the kids will collectively earn nearly $250,000 over the next three years. They'll receive $125,000 for 36 days of shooting in the first year, $75,000 for 21 days in the second year and $50,000 for 14 days in the third year.

The documents state that filming will start on September 1st pending the judge's approval.

The production company Eyeworks is behind such series as The Biggest Loser and Breaking Bonaduce. No network has bought the show yet.

Nadya Suleman gave birth to the world's longest-surviving set of octuplets on Jan. 26, 2009. The medical curiosity of their delivery turned to public outrage when it was revealed that the single, unemployed mother had been caring for her six other children with the help of food stamps and Social Security disability payments for three of the youngsters. Suleman said previously that some of the disability money was spent on the in vitro fertilizations, which was used for all 14 of her children.
