John Singleton's Daughter Loses Bid to Extend Allowance


Back in July Cleopatra Singleton, the daughter of the late director John Singleton, filed a motion to prevent her grandmother from halting her allowance after she graduated from college [click here if you missed that]. 

The judge rules in favor of John's mother...

A judge has sided with John Singleton’s mother Sheila Ward in her fight with her late son’s daughter Cleopatra over a monthly 4-figure sum she had demanded, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a hearing was recently held in Los Angeles Superior Court on the matter.
Singleton’s mom explained the allowance was initially approved by the court in December 2019. The funds were to be used to help Cleopatra because she was a “full-time student who did not have other sources of income.”
In her filing, Sheila claimed Cleopatra graduated from Xavier University of Louisiana in May 2021 but was still being paid.
Singleton’s mom asked that Cleopatra’s final payout from the estate be reduced by the amount she was paid after her graduation date.
Singleton’s children Justice, Selenesol, Hadar, Massai, Cleopatra, Isis, and Seven will share a 1/7 interest in his estate.

That's fair. Why should the other 6 kids' have to absorb the loss of her unwarranted allowance? My mother died and my siblings tried to get "equal" payouts. No! They owed her big money when she died. Settle all debts first, then divide.
