Producer Timbaland has settled a $440k financial battle with his former divorce lawyer who had accused him of skipping out when it came time to pay. The law firm has dropped all liens against his property and assets.
According to sources:
Monique Mosley, first filed for divorce in 2013 following 10 years together and 5 years of marriage. They share a minor daughter together. At the time, she demanded he pay her alimony, child support, private school expenses, vacation costs and various other expenses.
The divorce was dismissed quietly a year later due to her dropping the case. The reconciliation attempts didn’t work and Monique filed again in June 2015.
The divorce was finalized in March following years of battling it out in court. Prior to the case being closed, Timbaland’s divorce law firm Carlton Fields slapped their client with a charging lien over unpaid invoices for their work, to the tune of $440,000. The lawyer explained he was hired by Timbaland to represent him in the divorce back in September 2015.
A charging lien is filed when an attorney is owed money and it allows them a right to any judgement won by their client at the resolution of the case.
The amount of the lien due to the firm is $440,193.90 through November 2016 for any sums due, owing and unpaid. Work has continued and the amount due to the firm continues to grow with interest.
