Dr Dre Wins legal divorce battle of $1.5 million with wife
He won’t have to pay $1.5 Million to his wife monthly before final divorce settlements
A judge has rejected Dr Dre’s estranged wife, Nicole Young’s request for $1.5 million to pay for various expenses, such as security.
The judge also dismissed her request to expedite Dre paying out $5 million for her lawyer’s fees. Young’s lawyers were in court on Thursday, urging the judge to accept her $1.5 million claims for security since she’s getting death threats, TMZ reports.
Young’s lawyers also urged the judge to advance the hearing regarding the $5 million for attorney’s fees, wanting it moved from January to this month. However, the judge said no.

When the judge dismissed Young’s requests, he remarked that he’s working on more crucial domestic violence and custody cases, and her case isn’t anywhere as serious. He noted that if Dre was trying to control Young, then she could file a restraining order against him.
This week, Dre responded to Young's $2 million claims, saying, "This all seems like the wrath of an angry person being exacerbated by opportunistic lawyers." He also revealed that he's already paid $5 million in lawyer fees for Young for their divorce.
