People close to the couple were surprised by the divorce because Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock seemed happy to them until the last day. Now the ex-spouses are focused on raising their two children, and the costs of the divorce lawsuit and substantial alimony will have to be paid by the famous singer.
American pop/rock singer Kelly Clarkson is in the middle of a divorce lawsuit with her ex-husband and manager Brandon Blackstock, with whom she has been married since 2013. The couple spent the quarantine together with their two children, and the news of the divorce was announced in June last year and shocked everyone. Since they looked like the perfect couple, it is not known whether the pandemic period or the crisis of the seventh year of marriage was decisive. The singer often pointed out that her husband restored her motivation and inspiration for music, emphasized his passion which made it not a problem for her to stay in bed all day, and everyone wonders what was going on so badly in their four walls that it culminated in divorce.
Everyone was surprised by the fact, ie the latest decision of the court in Los Angeles, according to which the singer must pay alimony to her husband and children. On a monthly basis, she has to set aside $ 200,000 for it. People magazine reported that $ 150,000 goes to the husband and the other $ 45,000 to the children. The singer has to pay an additional $ 1.2 million for the costs of the divorce lawsuit. Allegedly, even that was not enough for her ex-husband because he asked the singer for $ 436,000 a month.
She filed for divorce in June last year after seven years of marriage and told the court that she and her husband deserve to go their separate ways. A source close to Kelly revealed some more details from the trial.
"Divorce is difficult and tense for most couples going through it. Kelly's primary focus is to do the best she can to protect the children. In this case, she had to fight for them because Brandon and his lawyers had unreasonable demands," the source said. The custody ultimately went to Kelly. She spoke about parenting together in February on her own show - “The Kelly Clarkson Show”.
"It's hard. We're in different places. Although we both agree on the main things, it's hard to raise children when you're not together. As long as it goes in the direction of well-being for our children, we'll both be on the same 'boat,'" Kelly said.
