Kelly Clarkson, 39, and ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, 45, have finally settled their divorce after seven years of marriage, with Kelly landing primary custody of the children, River, 7, and Remington, 5, and Brandon, who lives in Montana, getting the children for one weekend a month, TMZ reported on Feb. 8. Although Brandon gets the kids one weekend thus far, he was granted $45,600/month in child support plus $115,000 per month in spousal support. It may sound like a major win for Brandon, however Kelly still reportedly makes around $20 million per year. HollywoodLife has reached out to both Kelly and Brandon’s reps and lawyers for comment.
As for their Montana ranch, Kelly will keep the property, but Brandon will be allowed to live there until June 1 of this year, according to documents obtained by TMZ. He is ordered, however, to pay $12,500/month in rent. The $17,750,000 ranch was one of great dispute for the former couple, who battled over property. Last October, Kelly was granted ownership but Brandon countered that it was “marital property” and had refused to leave. The singer tried to evict him in December to no avail, but now, this settlement resolution will put an end to the dispute once and for all.
The amount received by Brandon is stated to reflect the overhead he will have to ensure the kids can stay comfortably and are properly supported. Kelly’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, can also return to court and ask for an adjustment should Brandon move elsewhere and overhead charges change accordingly. Lastly, Kelly is paying him $1.3 million as a part of the settlement.
Kelly and Brandon officially filed for divorce on June 4, 2020. Their divorce came after nearly seven years of marriage and having their two children,
