Diamond Brown, the mother of Chris Brown's daughter Lovely, is pressing for access to the singer's financial records in an effort to secure a larger child support payment, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The filing indicates that Diamond Brown and Chris Brown's business managers have reached an impasse over the production of those records.
Diamond Brown contends that the records are essential to her case, which she brought against the singer to increase his monthly support obligation. She asserts that Chris Brown has an estimated net worth of $50 million but pays her only around $7,000 per month, an amount she believes should be substantially higher.
As part of her legal battle, Diamond Brown subpoenaed Chris Brown's business managers seeking disclosure of his finances, but the managers objected, according to the documents. She maintains that without the records it is difficult to determine his true income and to establish what he can afford to pay in child support.
Diamond Brown states that she has only $10,000 to her name and argues that Chris Brown should pay at least $30,000 per month in child support. The dispute remains unresolved as the parties await a court's intervention on the records request.
The filing follows public criticism of Diamond Brown by Chris Brown's other children's mothers after she initiated the court action. According to TMZ, those women characterized the singer as a good father who provides for his children.
