Overview
- In recent court papers, Akon asked a judge to deny spousal support to his estranged wife, Tomeka Thiam, according to reports citing the filing.
- He is requesting joint physical custody of their 17-year-old, while Thiam is seeking full physical custody with shared legal custody.
- Thiam has also petitioned the court to ensure Akon does not receive spousal support.
- The split follows a 29-year marriage that Thiam initiated with a divorce filing about two months ago, with only one of their children still a minor.
- Separate from the divorce case, Akon was arrested in Georgia on November 7 on a bench warrant tied to a suspended driver’s license.
