NAS SEEKS TO BLOCK SPOUSAL SUPPORT INCREASE
Nov 4th, 2009 by Bilal Ali
Nas is trying to block his soon-to-be ex-wife Kelis from getting her requested $72,728 per month in spousal support, according to papers filed Monday by his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan.
Court docs also show that the rapper is asking for joint custody of their two-month-old son, according to TMZ.com
Nas was ordered to pay Kelis $44,000 in child support payments in addition to a one-time payment of $45,000 for her attorney fees and for a forensic accountant. In August, Kelis’ attorney Laura Wasser filed a motion seeking to increase the support payments to $72,728 based on the $240,000 the rapper earns per-month.
In total, Kelis wants $17,225 a month in child support, $72,728 in spousal support, $29,522 in back child support, and retro spousal support in the amount of $281,571.
