The drama between former Spice Girl, Mel B and her estranged
husband, Stephen Belafonte just keeps getting messier. Read here and here
Stephen Belafonte has filed
a response to her divorce proceedings demanding she financially support him. He
also asked that she be made to pay his lawyer’s fees.
According to the UK Sun, Belafonte‘s declaration, filed in
LA, puts the date of their split as March 1 this year, while Mel, 41, recorded
the break-up as happening on December 28, 2016.
The couple’s separation date needs to be established in order to divide up
their mutual property, which they both accept is on the line – suggesting a
prenup was not taken out when they married in 2007.Mel’s decision to begin
divorce proceedings last month, just 11 weeks before their ten year
anniversary, could save the former Spice Girl millions.
Under Californian law, she could have been forced to support Belafonte, 41,
indefinitely had their marriage spanned a decade.
But now it’s likely the court will set the duration of support at half the
marriage’s length.
But the couple were in agreement on one matter – both requesting joint legal
and physical custody of their five-year-old daughter Madison.
