Toni Braxton Settles Legal Battle w/ Ex-Husband Keri Lewis Over Unpaid Child Support
Toni Braxton has settled her legal battle with her ex-husband — which she accused of not paying child support for their 2 children — with the singer dismissing the contempt lawsuit. according to thejasminebrand.com
The singer/reality star served her ex-husband Keri Lewis with a lawsuit demanding the court find him in contempt for failing to pay child support. [FYI:Braxton & Lewis married back in 1998 and they decided to separate in July 2013 after 12 years of marriage.]
Braxton hit him with a child support contempt lawsuit on October 31st in Georgia court. The case was in regards to the support that Lewis was to pay Braxton for their sons Denim Cole Braxton-Lewis and Diezel Ky Braxton-Lewis
According to Braxton’s bankruptcy documents, she is to receive $2K a month from Lewis for support for the 2 children they share together.

The contempt lawsuit sought to have a court order find that Lewis had not been paying the ordered support and to have a order to get the back child support paid.
On May 10th, Braxton filed docs in the case dismissing the lawsuit voluntarily — despite her having served him with the legal papers shortly after she filed the lawsuit.
The dismissal means that Braxton and Keri have reached a settlement outside of court. The case was closed the same day.
