Just hours after Kelis gave birth to her first child, a judge reportedly ordered her estranged husband, Nas, to pay her hefty sums in both spousal and child support.
According to The Associated Press, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled Thursday (July 23) that Nas must pay Kelis nearly $44,000 a month in support. The ruling is temporary until a follow-up hearing September 8, when it will be decided if the amount should be altered. In addition to the monthly support, Nas must also pay $45,000 to cover Kelis’ attorney fees and for a forensic accountant.
Attorney for both parties were at odds over support for Kelis’ prenatal care. In papers filed with the court, Kelis claims Nas “abandoned” her during her pregnancy. A lawyer for Nas, however, contends his client paid $30,000 in expenses toward the birth and maintained her health-insurance costs.
