A Superior Court Judge has ordered popular music producer, Andre Young aka Dr Dre to pay the sum of $500,000 within 10 days to the lawyers of his estranged wife Nicole Young.
Judge Michael Powell gave the order after Nicole Young, 51, had asked a Los Angeles court to force her wealthy, soon-to-be-ex husband to pay her $2 million per month in spousal support, plus $5 million for her attorney fees.
In a written ruling, the judge said: “Pending the next hearing dates on this matter, the Court grants only $500,000 in attorney’s fees to petitioner’s (Nicole’s) counsel … Fees are to be paid to petitioner’s counsel, no later than May 7.”
Reports say that Dr Dre, 56, who was recently declared legally single, agreed to continue paying for Nicole’s monthly expenses and will also continue to pay the mortgage on the Malibu home that his estranged wife lives in.
