   Monique and Timbaland on their wedding day: she just filed for divorce and is reportedly going after his money

Musician Timbaland must be bracing himself for one heck of a divorce battle right now because, according to a new report, his wife, Monique Mosley, is after his money – not all of the $80 million (€58.5 million) he’s worth but a large chunk of it.

Word got out the other day that Monique had filed the divorce papers: she and Timbaland have been married for 5 years and together for double that time.

It’s the fact that they were a couple for so long that she will be using in court to get more money from the star, TMZ has learned, including to get him to pay alimony for a child that he did not father, that Monique had from a previous relationship.

“Why, you ask, is she asking for child support for both kids? Monique says Timbaland is the daddy by default, since he's ‘publicly and privately proclaimed this child as his own’,” TMZ reports, citing from the court documents.

And alimony for the children is just the icing on the cake of Monique’s demands.

“Monique wants alimony, life insurance, private school, vacations, summer camp and other expenses. She says she's so strapped for cash, she had to borrow money from a friend to pay her lawyer. She wants Timbaland to foot the lawyer's bill,” adds the report.

“She wants to get Timbaland coming and going. In the alimony department, she says she wants money while divorce proceedings are pending, she wants a lump sum, she wants ‘rehabilitative alimony,’ and permanent alimony,” TMZ writes.

The e-zine doesn’t offer an estimative figure for the kind of money Timbaland might end up paying Monique on a monthly basis but, considering how much he’s worth, it could amount to a pretty penny.

Right now, the only probable way in which Timbaland could avoid a lengthy and nasty divorce battle is to just settle.
