Who are Eddie Murphy's children? Comedian to pay Mel B $35K a month as child support for daughter Angel
LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK: Two years after former Spice Girls star, Melanie Brown, filed paperwork demanding additional financial aid, her ex-husband Eddie Murphy has agreed to pay her B $35,000 per month in child support for their 15-year-old daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown. After Mel, 47, alleged a shift in her salary, the two agreed to a new child support agreement for their daughter Angel.
Since the duo resolved their contentious paternity dispute in February 2009, Eddie, 61, had been paying Mel, $25,000 each month or $300,000 per annum. The comedian, who is described in the petition as the "extraordinarily high earner," will be required to pay an additional $10,000 per month under the new agreement which was agreed upon on August 17. As of October 2021 and continuing through Angel's 18th birthday, payments must be provided retrospectively. Additionally, he consents to pay Mel's $10,000 legal fees. “The parties agree that Respondent (Murphy) is an extraordinarily high earner,” court documents state. “The amount of child support set forth hereinbelow has been calculated based on the reasonable needs of the minor child. Commencing October 1, 2021, as and for child support for the benefit of Angel, Respondent shall pay to Petitioner the sum of $35,000 per month. Child support shall be payable via wire transfer, and shall be due on the first calendar day of each month,” the document disclosed by Daily Mail read. However, according to the lawsuit, Brown will be liable for Angel's “add-on” fees which cover her medical care, extracurricular activities and educational costs.

Additionally, it said that the arrangement was a "non-guideline child support order" which meant that no "material change in circumstances" was necessary for amendment. Mel first submitted paperwork requesting increased child support in October 2020, citing a sharp decline in her income. “Until recently, Melanie has been fortunate in her career to sustain a comfortable lifestyle for herself and Angel,” the filing stated. “Unfortunately, Melanie's income has dramatically reduced, such that she must consider modifying child support for the first time.” According to reports at the time, Mel reportedly tried to resolve the dispute "without court intervention numerous times" but to no effect. Angel was born on April 3, 2007, the same days as Eddie's 46th birthday, to Mel, who also has two older kids from prior relationships. The star's agents revealed on June 22, 2007, that a DNA test had proven he was the child's father.
