Dr. Dre files a prenuptial agreement denying estranged wife Nicole Young his property but allowing for spousal support amid their heated divorce
Dr. Dre claims he and Nicole Young agreed all their property would be separate before they got married.
The former couple are locked in a bitter divorce battle and the music mogul has now submitted their prenuptial agreement to the court, a document which his estranged wife has insisted was torn up after they wed in 1996, to provide evidence of how they had agreed to divide their assets in the event of a separation.
As well as stating that what each of them acquired during the marriage stayed as their own, the document said Nicole did not waive her right to spousal support, meaning if the agreement is upheld by the court, she would still get a substantial monthly sum.
And despite Nicole’s claim the prenup was torn up, the document states it can only be altered or terminated in writing, with Dre insisting there has never been such an amendment and nor has his estranged wife been able to produce one.
Nicole has asked for $2 million a month but Dre’s lawyer, Laura Wasser told the court her client has been voluntarily paying all her expenses since they split.
And according to TMZ, the documents reveal the 55-year-old producer has been paying for the Malibu estate she’s living in, security costs and even has cash delivered by messenger when she wants it and Dre’s accountant filed a declaration stating Nicole’s actual monthly expenses total $293, 306.Country Singers Jimmie Allen and Michael Ray Reveal How They Connected Before Touring TogetherCountry Singers Jimmie Allen and Michael Ray share the inside joke they have about being a “local opener”Volume 90%
Nicole has also sought $5 million in attorney’s fees but her estranged husband said he has already paid close to $1 million voluntarily, even though the divorce documents weren’t even filed until June.
The ‘Forget About Dre’ hitmaker claimed he has paid more for Nicole’s lawyers than his own legal team, and said her representatives have sent him a letter claiming they are owed another $1.5 million.
Dre has denied Nicole’s allegations of emotional and physical abuse.
Though Nicole doesn’t work, she hasclaimed she “played an important role” in Dre’s career, which included being “integral” to the naming of his record label, Aftermath.
And she later filed another lawsuit, claiming she co-owns the trademark to her estranged husband’s name, along with that of his 1992 album ‘The Chronic’.
The former couple have two children, 23-year-old son Truice and 19-year-old daughter Truly, together.
