Eddie Murphy has agreed to pay $35,000 a month in child support to Mel B,
his ex-girlfriend and fellow Spice Girl, for their 15-year-old daughter
Angel Iris Murphy Brown.
As a result, the 61-year-old comic will now make an extra $10,000 a month
payment. It was first submitted two years ago by Mel B, whose real name is
Melanie Brown.
The former couple agreed to a new child support agreement after Mel B, then
47, requested more money due to a "change in income," according to court
records acquired by The Daily Mail.
The new contract, which was agreed upon on August 17, describes Murphy as a
"extraordinarily high earner."
Up until Angel reaches 18, the payments must be made retrospectively
beginning in October of last year. Additionally, he consented to pay Brown's
$10,000 legal expenses.
The court filings declare that "The parties agree that Respondent (Murphy)
is a "extraordinarily high earner." The amount of child support shown below
has been determined based on the minor kid's "reasonable
requirements."
The lawsuit goes on: "As of October 1, 2021, Respondent shall begin paying
Petitioner $35,000 per month in the form of child support for Angel. The
first day of the month, child support is required and must be paid by wire
transfer."
However, Brown will be liable for paying "add-on" expenditures for the
adolescent daughter she shares with Murphy, such as health insurance,
medical treatment, extracurricular activities, and educational
charges.
A "substantial change of circumstances" is not a criterion for
modification, according to the document, which also notes that the
arrangement is a "non-guideline child support order."
Brown initially submitted paperwork for increased child support in October
2020, claiming that her income had significantly decreased.
According to the 2020 newspaper, "Up until lately, Melanie has been
fortunate in her profession to preserve a decent lifestyle for herself and
Angel." "Unfortunately, Melanie's income has significantly decreased,
forcing her to seek first-time child support modification."
On April 3, 2007, Murphy Brown's 46th birthday, Angel Iris Murphy Brown was
born to Mel B, who also has two other kids. On June 22, 2007, the singer's
team announced that a DNA test had established Murphy's paternity.
According to multiple sources, Murphy, who already has 10 children with
five different women, first resisted having anything to do with the
child.
The Daddy Day Care star's mother, Lillian Lynch, played a significant part
in Angel's reunification with her father in May 2017, and the father and
daughter are now enjoying a strong connection, as Mel B addressed the matter
in her 2018 biography.
