Singer Mary J.
Blige's estranged husband is demanding $110,000 in monthly spousal
support in the latest legal barrage in the former couple's bitter
divorce battle.
Martin 'Kendu' Isaacs,
49, believes the R&B singer should cough up so he can continue to
live the 'lavish' lifestyle he enjoyed before she filed divorce papers.
He
wants the Grammy winning songstress to help him pay for expensive meals
out, a housekeeper and a $1,000 allowance for new clothes.
Blige, 46, filed for divorce from Isaacs in July last year, citing irreconcilable differences after nearly 13 years of marriage.
In October Isaacs made a similar request for $130,000 in monthly spousal support.
But
in the latest paperwork, filed to the Los Angeles Superior Court last
week and seen exclusively by DailyMail.com, Isaacs seems to have dropped
$20,000 of expenses, cutting requests for help paying $8,000 for a
private chef and $3,200 for a personal trainer, as well as other
reductions.
The paperwork stated Blige
fired her husband, who was her personal manager throughout their
marriage, and left him with 'no source of income'.
And
according to the latest documents Isaacs is now seeking court
intervention after he says he met with Blige in late February in an
attempt to try to settle the case amicably, but nothing was resolved.
In
total he's asking for $110,000 a month in spousal support, a $95,000
contribution to his attorney's fees and a $52,000 contribution to his
forensic accounting fees.
The filing
states: 'Mr. Isaacs was Ms Blige's personal manager for more than one
decade and throughout the entire marriage. Mr. Isaacs has negotiated
practically every deal on behalf of Ms. Blige, and based upon Ms Blige's
income over the years, their relationship has been financially
lucrative. During the marriage, Mr. Isaacs was compensated 10% of all
gross income received by Ms Blige.'
The
filing states that Isaacs made $46,205 a month when he was employed by
his wife, primarily due to the $415,000 in commissions that he was paid
in the latter part of 2016.
But Isaacs,
who claims to have $4.5 million in assets, said he now needs spousal
support because his financial situation has 'changed significantly in
the last 12 months', court papers state.
The
unemployed former manager wants to return to the lavish life he enjoyed
at the side of the 'Queen of Hip Hop Soul', that included dining at
expensive restaurants and socializing with A-list celebrities.
Isaacs specifically wants Blige to cover the majority of the $116,250 he spends per month.
In
addition to $5,000 a month to support his parents and $4,971 a month in
support for two children from a past relationship, he asked Blige to
contribute to the $1,200 he pays on eating out and the $60,000 in rent
he owes to several properties.
He also
states he pays nearly $2,500 on auto expenses and transportation, $5,708
for a housekeeper and maintenance on his properties and another $1,723
on groceries.
