Dr. Dre and Nicole Young were married for 24 years before she officially pulled the plug last June amid “irreconcilable differences.”
But the former couple is currently entangled in a contentious battle over a prenuptial agreement Young believes should be deemed null and void, while Dr. Dre wants it to remain intact.
As the fight for Dre’s estimated $800 million fortune continues, he is reportedly being ordered to dole out even more money to his estranged wife.
According to Page Six, a judge ordered Dr. Dre to pay Young another $1.5million in legal fees and costs this week in addition to the $2 million he’s already covered.
The judge estimated Young’s “reasonable legal fees in the case” total around $3 million plus costs so far.
Subsequently, Dre will now have to pay $1 million toward the balance of her fees, plus another $550,000 in costs associated with the case.
Dr. Dre also must cough up over 290, 000 dollars in monthly temporary spousal support as well as pay for household costs such as security, insurance, gardening, taxes, repairs and maintenance.
The latest ruling said Young and Dre must confer on any added expenses Dre owes her on the household costs by next month.
Young is facing a lawsuit from her former husband as well. Earlier this month, Dr. Dre sued Young for allegedly “stealing” money from Recording One Studio in Sherman Oaks, California.
