It’s Cheaper 2 Keep Her: Kobe Dodges $1.36M A Month Divorce Settlement Ms. Bels Thursday, January 24, 2013 Foul on the Play Kobe Bryant got paper! Years of him shooting in the gym has paid off and created a multi-million dollar empire. But, what happens if he calls it splitsville from wife Vanessa? She would walk away with half of his earnings. Damn! California has some of the strictest divorce laws than any other state. If married over 10 years, marriages are considered indefinite. Therefore, wife (or husband in some cases) would be entitled to life long spousal support and child support (if there are kids involved). In the case of Vanessa, Kobe will be ordered to pay an estimated $386,000 in monthly child support for his two little girls. Also, spousal support would run him up to $1 million. Thank goodness the two was able to work out their differences….once again. Do you think $1.36M is justified though? Let us know. We would love to hear your opinion on this.
