This settlement comes two years after Mel, who is one of the Spice Girls, filed papers requesting more financial assistance.
Eddie Murphy to pay ex Mel B over Shs130 million monthly in child support
Comic actor Eddie Regan Murphy will pay his ex-girlfriend and baby mama Melanie Janine Brown MBE, commonly known as Melanie B or Mel B, $35,000 (which is about USh133,803,412.02) in monthly child support for their 15-year-old daughter, Angel.
Murphy and Mel B have agreed to a new child support arrangement for daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown after Mel, 47, reveal an alteration in the money she earns.
Murphy, 61, had been paying the British-born singer $25,000 a month - $300,000 a year – after the former lovebirds settled their paternity battle in February 2009.
The modified agreement, arrived at on August 17, states that the comedian, who is identified in the filing as the 'extraordinarily high earner', will be paying an extra $10,000 a month.
The payments are to be made retroactively, which means with effect from a date in the past, beginning from last October up until Angel turns 18 years of age.
Murphy, feeling magnanimous, is also going to pay Mel B’s attorney fees of $10,000.
“The parties agree that Respondent (Murphy) is an "extraordinarily high earner"' ...,' court documents state.
'The amount of child support set forth hereinbelow has been calculated based on the reasonable needs of the minor child...
'Commencing October 1, 2021, as and for child support for the benefit of Angel, Respondent shall pay to Petitioner the sum of $35,000 per month.
'Child support shall be payable via wire transfer, and shall be due on the first calendar day of each month.'
The filing, however, notes that Brown will be responsible for 'add-on' costs, which include health insurance, health care, extracurricular activities, and educational expenses for Angel.
