In the midst of her divorce battle, Kelly Clarkson lost the fight to have her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, evicted from their Montana ranch
Kelly Clarkson kept most of the properties she used to share with his ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, before they began legal proceedings in 2020 to dissolve their union.
However, from a hearing that was held last August to determine a very conflictive distribution of assets, a very curious detail also emerged: although the singer is now officially the owner of the Montana ranch where they both spent their vacations, along with her children River and Remington, the truth is that Kelly cannot sell it because she has a very special tenant, the father of her children.
A judge at the time recognized Brandon's right to occupy and manage the estate after he openly expressed his desire to leave the entertainment world to become a full-time country man.
Of course, to do so he had to scrupulously satisfy his financial obligations and pay the more than $80,000 per month that it would cost to maintain the property.
Aside from this previous arrangement, Kelly would have tried to evict her ex-husband from her ranch, because according to Us Weekly magazine about a court session last November, Brandon has not fulfilled her commitments in the financial field. .
But his argument must not have been very convincing, since the magistrate rejected his request and indicated that he can continue living on the property and using it for his professional purposes.
“Kelly recently had a major legal setback in an attempt to have Brandon evicted from the Montana property that a judge otherwise awarded solely to her. “He has explained that he does not have the means to buy a new home precisely because of the financial dispute over her divorce,” a source close to Clarkson told the aforementioned media.
This latest development comes after Clarkson was ordered to pay Brandon $150,000 per month in spousal support plus an additional $45,601 in child support, according to court documents.
While the divorce is fully resolved, Brandon is assured of support for two more years; However, if his prenuptial agreement is determined in court to be valid, the money will no longer be given.
The ex-couple has been separated for exactly one year after Clarkson decided to end their 7-year marriage.
