Dreka Gates Seeks $73,000 a Month in Support From Kevin Gates in New Court Filing

Kevin Gates contests that the pair were legally married, a claim Dreka’s side disputes.

Overview

  • In an Oct. 22 filing, Dreka asked for $27,193 in monthly child support and $46,274 in spousal support, according to documents obtained by TMZ.
  • She alleges Kevin stopped paying family obligations in late 2021, including property taxes and the children’s private school tuition.
  • The filing says the family’s Mississippi farm entered foreclosure after the IRS issued a $7 million tax levy.
  • Dreka seeks temporary designation as the children’s primary physical custodian, saying they have spent about 95% of their time with her since 2023.
  • Kevin’s response contends the pair were never legally married, a position Dreka’s team calls factually baseless, and the case remains in pre-trial proceedings with no court decision reported.
