A court has ordered 46-year-old
singer Mary J. Blige to pay her estranged husband, Martin Isaacs,
$30,000 a month in temporary spousal support.
The singer filed for divorce in July
2016 after 12 years of marriage and insisted that their prenuptial
agreement waived any spousal support. She challenged his demand, saying
that she had been the only bread-winner in their family and is burdened
with more than $10,000,000 in debt.
The court however declared that
Martin was entitled to some money to accommodate the standard of living
he was used to while they were married. He originally requested for
$129,319 per month, but the judge reduced it to $30,000.
The singer will also have to pay retroactive spousal support dating back to September, along with his attorney fees.
The court revealed that Mary and
Martin were living beyond their means during their marriage and still
have millions of dollars to pay back in taxes.
