50 and His Ex Continue to Battle in Court
Things seem to be getting nastier and nastier between rapper 50 Cent and his ex-girlfriend and mother of hi son, Shaniqua Tompkins. According to Allhiphop.com she’s suing him for damages related to the fire that destroyed the Long Island home she was staying in with their son.
“There wasn’t a written contract but an expressed oral agreement, which is recognized in the New York courts,” Catsandonis told The Hudson Reporter. “They decided years ago that she was going to be the domestic partner, and she was going to provide the domestic services while he devoted all his time to becoming a hip-hop artist. Whatever profits he was able to achieve would be divided equally, and he had promised her and their son that they could live in the house. He breached that contract.” Her attorney plans to argue that their relationship can be viewed as a common-law marriage. He plans to set a precedent case in New York for future parties who have legal disputes in these arrangements. “We are moving into the modern era where people are not getting married anymore but are common law husband and wife,” said Catsandonis.
In addition to this lawsuit, Tompkins has a restraining order against 50 that limits his visitation with his son. In turn, 50 is countering her lawsuit with a defamation suit and is suing for visitation rights. Source
What’s sad is that they’re spending all of their energy slinging mud (and gasoline at for that matter) at each other when they should be spending it raising their son.
