Akon Asserts Wife Should Receive No Spousal Support in Divorce Papers
Akon has made a significant stance in his divorce proceedings, asserting that his estranged wife should not receive any spousal support. The rapper’s legal documents reflect this position, stating he checked a box to terminate any spousal support payments for Tomeka, following her request for support in her divorce petition filed in September.
Details of the Divorce Proceedings
Tomeka, Akon’s wife for 29 years, previously indicated in her divorce request that she did not seek spousal support for herself. This mutual inclination suggests a desire from both parties to protect their financial interests amid the divorce.
Child Custody Arrangements
In the legal filings submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court, Akon is also seeking joint physical custody of their 17-year-old child. Conversely, Tomeka has asked for joint legal custody but is requesting full physical custody of their teen.
Akon’s Legal Troubles
The rapper’s troubles aren’t limited to his divorce. Recently, he faced an arrest in Georgia for failing to appear in court regarding charges of driving with a suspended license.
- Divorce duration: 29 years
- Child’s age: 17 years

As the divorce process unfolds, both Akon and Tomeka are navigating complex emotional and legal landscapes, particularly regarding their child and financial matters.
