Bobby Brown Wants Whitney To Pay Up

Not happy with the current situation, Bobby Brown has decided to sue ex-wife Whitney Houston in a California court. The former R&B star is seeking spousal support and changes to the one-sided custody arrangement for their daughter.

Brown - always known to spend more than he brings in - claimed financial and emotional problems prevented him from responding to Houston's divorce petition, People magazine reported on Friday (May 11). Due to his failure to answer Whitney's petition, Bobby lost all custody rights to the couple's daughter.

A bit late with his reaction to such an important matter, Brown is now seeking shared custody of 14-year-old Bobbi Kristina, child support and spousal support.

"After Whitney and I separated, I had nowhere to go and very little money to live on," Brown's petition said. "I was, for all intents and purposes, homeless."

Because of his state, he didn't understand the importance of responding to Houston's petition, Brown said, adding that he "could not believe it" when Houston won her default judgment for a fast-track divorce.

A new court hearing for the embattled exes is scheduled for June 15. We just hope that Bobby is doing this out of the love that he has for his daughter - not the spousal support.
