Chris Brown’s former partner, Diamond Brown, is seeking access to the singer’s financial records as she pursues an increase in child support for their daughter, Lovely.
Court documents indicate that Diamond and Brown’s business managers have reached an impasse over the production of the records, which she says are needed to establish his true income.
Diamond has claimed that Brown has an estimated net worth of $50 million but currently pays about $7,000 a month in child support. She believes the amount should be substantially higher.
As part of the legal dispute, she subpoenaed Brown’s business managers for details of his finances. They objected to the request, according to the court documents.
Diamond has said she has struggled to determine what the singer earns and what he can afford to pay. She has also stated that she has $10,000 in her own name and believes Brown should pay at least $30,000 a month in child support.
The requested records form part of her effort to secure a larger payment through the case she has brought against Brown.
Following Diamond’s court action, Brown’s other former partners publicly criticised her move. They said the singer was a good father who took care of his children.
