According to to TMZ, Kelly and Brandon Blackstock reached an agreement in their long and drawn out divorce with Brandon being awarded $115,000 monthly from his former wife. The support agreement is only temporary, however. That will end in January 2024, TMZ reports. But in addition to that hefty payout, Brandon will be getting $45,600 a month in child support even though he is not the custodial parent. The news site reports that the amount was decided on in an effort to make sure the children will continue to live comfortably in his home while they are there.
Additionally, the judge ordered Kelly to pay Brandon a $1.3 million lump sum as part of the settlement. So what does Kelly get out of all of this? Well, TMZ reports that the singer was given the Montana ranch she and Brandon purchased… though her ex will continue living there until June 1. Kelly will also get to keep custody of the two children she and Brandon had, while he will have them one weekend a month at his Montana home.
Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock in 2020. They had been married since 2013.
The two share daughter River who they welcomed in 2014 and son Remington who was born in April 2016. The talent manager also shares daughter Savannah and son Seth with ex-wife Melissa Ashworth.
