Sunday, November 16, 2025 -Akon is taking a firm stand in his ongoing divorce from his estranged wife, Tomeka, making it clear in newly filed court documents that he does not intend to pay her any spousal support.
According to the filings, the music star checked the option
to terminate spousal support for Tomeka, his wife of twenty-nine years. This
move comes after Tomeka herself had requested support in her initial divorce
petition filed in September. In a twist, she also asked the court not to award
any support to Akon, suggesting that both parties are trying to protect their
own finances.
In his response submitted on Friday at the Los Angeles
Superior Court, Akon also asked for joint physical custody of their seventeen-year-old
child. Tomeka, however, is requesting joint legal custody and full physical
custody for herself.
The divorce proceedings arrive at a time when the singer has
already been dealing with legal issues elsewhere. Just last week, he was
arrested in Georgia for failing to appear in court after a charge of driving
with a suspended license.
The divorce case continues to unfold as both parties
navigate custody, finances, and the next steps in dissolving their long
marriage.
