Today, for the fans of the singer Melanie Brown, who is known to everyone as an ex-soloist of the singing group in Spice Girls, the news has brought joyful news. Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Los Angeles finally dissolved her alliance with Stephen Belafonte, with whom she had been married for more than 10 years. However, according to many fans, Melanie made serious concessions to Stephen, having paid him good compensation.
Belafonte commented on the court's decision
In the meantime, Brown comes to his senses after the stunning news about divorce, the decision of the judicial body decided to comment on her ex-spouse:
"I did not expect that, 9 months after the start of the trial, the court will finally put an end to our relations. This is the best Christmas gift I could wish for. I am very happy about this and I am confident that now in my life there will finally come peace. And now, when the uncertainty in my personal life has stopped, and I have become a free man again, I am ready to move forward, ready for a new relationship. "
After Stephen's statements appeared on the pages of the press, fans of the famous singer Brown criticized the man that he would receive much more compensation from his ex-spouse than planned. First of all, we are talking about the fact that Melanie signed documents that say that the pop star will keep Belafonte for 3 years after the divorce. In addition, Stephen relies on $ 9 million - half the fees that ex-spouses are going to gain from selling their common mansion. And one more detail became known, which, of course, pleased Belafonte in the divorce proceedings. Brown agreed to pay all legal costs, which is a little over $ 200,000. As the insiders told only after all these points, Stephen agreed to sign documents for divorce.
As for their common daughter Maddison, who is now 6 years old, the court did not grant Melanie's request to educate her alone. Wardship will be joint, but none of her parents will not pay alimony to each other for the maintenance of the girl.

Divorce of Stephen and Melanie lasted about a year
The first time that Belafonte and Brown are going to divorce, it became known in 2014 year. Then in the press there was information that the couple very much quarreled, and Steven beat Melanie. After this message, journalists began to watch tirelessly the film producer and singer. There were no particular changes in their way of life, but even then the fans noted that at secular events and red carpet the couple looked very unhappy. This state of affairs lasted more than 2 years and only in March of this year, Brown announced that she filed documents with the divorce court, in which the reason for the parting of "Irreconcilable differences" was listed.
After that, the former spouses poured out a lot of dirt, and the public became aware of juicy details from the intimate life of celebrities. It turns out that Melanie and Stephen had sex with the nanny of their children, and love pleasures were filmed on a video camera. It was these records that were submitted to the court for examination, and the nurse herself told that Belafonte did not insist on such a way of life, but his wife. In response to such, frankly speaking, not very good gesture on the part of the film producer, Melanie informed the judges that her husband had repeatedly subjected her to violence, both physical and moral. In addition, Brown pointed out that Stephen constantly changed her, and also often insulted her with children, relatives and friends.
