American singer Ne-Yo and Crystal Renay’s divorce battle seems to be getting messier as the singer has made it clear that he is not willing to give her any of his belongings or money.
Ne-Yo Rejects Estranged Wifes’ Request For Financial Support
According to court documents, Ne-Yo agrees his marriage is broken, but he objects to Crystal’s request for temporary and permanent alimony in both child and spousal support, along with primary custody of their three kids, Shaffer, Roman, and Isabella.
In the petition, Crystal said that she is entitled to a divorce from Ne-Yo upon the ground that the marriage is irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation, adding that Ne-Yo has committed the act of adultery. She also accused the singer of having a baby with another woman which she has on record.
Crystal’s petition also demanded Ne-Yo hand over twenty-five thousand dollars to cover her legal fees. She told the court she relied on the singer’s income to pay the bills since they agreed she wouldn’t work during the marriage.
In Ne-Yo’s response to Crystal’s divorce petition, he reportedly wants joint legal and physical custody of their three children, thereby agreeing to pay child support but rejecting the spousal support.
The singer owned up to being an established professional entertainer, while Crystal had been formally unemployed at times during the marriage.
According to him, Crystal’s image and earning potential have benefited significantly due to her personal association with him.
Ne-Yo demanded the exclusive use of the marital home in Georgia as he has been solely responsible for the mortgage and maintenance of this property since the date of purchase.
The singer said he purchased three properties and maintained them by himself during the marriage.
The singer also wants the judge to consider Crystal’s lack of contribution when the assets are divided.
Just so you know, Ne-Yo and Crystal got married in February 2016. In 2020, after four years of marriage, Crystal announced their separation. They eventually reconciled and welcomed daughter Isabella in June 2021.
In April this year, the now estranged couple put the past behind and remarried, However, in July, Crystal came out to accuse the singer of constantly disrespecting her by having unprotected sex with numerous women.
