Blige gets off easy with spousal support for her ex

According to TMZ, Blige will have to pay Isaacs $30,000 per month in temporary spousal support, which is almost a quarter less than his initial request of just over $129,000 per month. The court did, however, see fit to award Isaacs spousal support to "level the playing field" until the trial.

Blige filed for divorce from her husband and manager Kendu Isaacs last year after 12 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

The forecast said, "Our current prediction is that there will be a majority for the Conservatives, who will have 371 seats". With less room for manoeuvre, she may be forced to reject compromises proposed by Brussels and drive a harder bargain.

"I am not responsible for supporting (Martin's) parents and his children from another relationship which he lists as ongoing monthly expenses", she reportedly said in the documents. The spousal support will be used to "accommodate the style of living" Kendu has become accustomed to during his 13-year marriage to the entertainer. The court ruled that the amount he had requested was unreasonable. Instead, Mary will have to pay him "retroactive spousal support dating back to September", as well as his attorneys' fees, which adds up to about $235K.

On a side note: the court revealed that Blige and Isaacs owe millions of dollars in back taxes as well.
