American Singer Kelly Clarkson has been ordered to pay her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock $200,000 (N100 million) per month in spousal and child support.

A Los Angeles County judge handed down the order Tuesday that Clarkson give Blackstock $150,000 per month in spousal support, as well as $45,601 per month in child support, People has learned.

The arrangement means that Blackstock (her ex husband), 43, will receive $195,601 in total from Clarkson each month, or roughly $2.4 million per year. The order also requires the singer to pay $1.25 million towards her estranged husband's attorney fees and costs for their ongoing divorce.

A source previously told People that Blackstock had been aiming for more than double the amount in support, requesting that Clarkson pay him $436,000 per month ($301,000 in spousal support and $135,000 in child support).

Clarkson is being represented by celebrity attorney Laura Wasser, who recently launched It's Over Easy. The service helps streamline the divorce process for individuals who might not be able to obtain her services otherwise.

Clarkson filed for divorce in June 2020 after seven years of marriage.

Earlier this month, Clarkson appealed for a judge to officially sign off on her divorce, leaving other arrangements such as spousal and child support for a later date.

In a declaration to the court obtained by People, Clarkson reasoned that she and Blackstock "both deserve the opportunity to build a new life."

Back in November, an L.A. County judge granted Clarkson primary physical custody of their children River Rose, 6, and Remington Alexander, 4.

A source close to the family told People at the time that Clarkson is "pleased" by the custody ruling and that her priority is to protect her children.

"As Kelly has said, her first priority in all of this is to take care of the kids and all the hearts that are involved in this divorce," a second source said. "It's been a hard time for everyone, but Kelly's pleased with the court's ruling regarding custody."

"Divorce is hard and it gets tense for most couples going through it. But Kelly's primary focus is on doing the best she can to protect the kids," the source added. "In this case, she had to fight for them since Brandon and his attorneys were making unreasonable requests."

Prenuptial things

As long as its wife paying husband then I am satisfied

I hope all the chauvinists shouting about how much the former wife of Dr Dre was awarded, can now see that it's not just females who receive post-divorce financial support.

VULCAN:
See how this White Knight is shouting loud from the rooftops as he seeks validation from Nairaland women.
Men have been paying more for 70yrs and because of Kelly Clarkson someone is disturbing our peace.
Mtscheww

I seek no validation from anybody. In Western countries, it's the party who's more financially capable that pays post-divorce financial support to the other party. You've been reading of women getting it most of the time, because their husbands were richer than them. Go check Google.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander

Good development women should also pay. but stop calculating dollars in naira. It make me looks small

Wondering

I don't understand why people should divorce
