Kelly Clarkson’s Estranged Husband Seeking $436k In Divorce After LOSING Primary Custody Of Their Kids!
Kelly Clarkson just won primary custody of her kids in her ongoing divorce case.
The “American Idol” singer and her estranged husband, Brandon Blackstock, have been battling over custody of their two kids, River, 6, and Remington, 4. Brandon, who will be living at the ex-couple’s Montana ranch, wanted joint custody of the kids and have them go back and forth between Montana and L.A., where Kelly lives.
Kelly Clarkson‘s attorney, Laura Wasser, made a case that Brandon‘s idea of the back and forth would be damaging to the kids. The judge agreed, noting, “The court finds that the minor children are not now and have not been residents of Montana and that California is their home state.”
The judge awarded Kelly and Brandon joint custody, however, Kelly will have primary custody of the kids in L.A. Brandon will have the kids on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends every month, but the 3rd weekend is the only time the kids will travel to Montana to spend time with him. On the 1st and 5th, Brandon will have to spend time with the kids in L.A.
There are a few stipulations that come with the legal custody agreement: Kelly nor Brandon are allowed to bad-mouth each other in front of the kids and they cannot drink alcohol or smoke marijuana within 8 hours of driving a car with the kids in-tow.
Following the judge’s decision, Brandon is now seeking $436k a month—$301k in spousal and $135k in child support—from Kelly. And that’s not all… He’s also asking for $2 million to cover his attorney’s fees.
