Nas moves to block new Kelis demands
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 3 November 2009
Nas has filed court papers in an attempt to block the latest maintenance support demands being made by his estranged wife Kelis.
As previously reported, Kelis began divorce proceedings against Nas in April, just three months before the birth of their son. Nas has been ordered to pay Kelis $44,000 per month in child support, which you’d imagine would buy quite a few nappies. But she is pushing for more.
In August her lawyer filed a motion demanding $72,728 per month in spousal support, plus back payments on both child and spousal support that would exceed $300,000. Team Kelis claim that the demands are reasonable given the $240,000 they reckon the rapper earns each month.
Nas’s legal people are trying to block the new claim, and limit any additional payments their client has to make to his ex on a regular basis.
The legal disputes between the couple continue despite them being seen together at various parties in the last two months.
