Ne-Yo Wants No Alimony for Crystal


Last month R&B singer songwriter Ne-Yo's wife, Crystal Renay, announced she was filing for divorce after he fathered a child outside their marriage [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Ne-Yo wants Crystal out of his house and he doesn't want to pay alimony...

From Radar Online  
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the singer agreed that his marriage is “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.”
Ne-Yo objected to Crystal’s request for temporary and permanent alimony along with primary custody. He said they should share joint legal and physical custody. The music producer said he should pay child support but scoffed at the idea of spousal.
Ne-Yo said he is an “active and loving father to his children.”
“[Ne-Yo] asserts that he is financially, physically, and emotionally capable of serving as a joint physical custodian of the parties’ three minor children alongside the [Crystal].”
Further, Ne-Yo asked for both parties to pay debts solely in his or Crystal's name.
He demanded the exclusive use of the marital home in Georgia as “he has been solely responsible for the mortgage and maintenance of this property since the date of purchase.” The singer said he purchased 3 properties during the marriage and maintained them by himself.
Ne-Yo wants Crystal’s lack of contribution considered when the assets are divided up.
The singer admitted he is an established professional entertainer while Crystal had been “formally unemployed at times during the marriage.” Ne-Yo said Crystal’s image and earning potential “has benefited significantly due to her personal association with the Respondent and his career.”
As a result, Ne-Yo said, “[Crystal] possess the considerable ability to procure stable and consistent employment at this current time and following the dissolution of the marriage.”
