Eddie Murphy will pay an amount of $35,000 to his ex Mel B in monthly child support for their daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown. According to legal documents, the duo have agreed to a new child support arrangement.

Murphy has paid $25,000 per month and $30,000 a year following the closure of their paternity battle in February 2009. The modified agreement states that Murphy must pay an additional amount of $10,000 every month. Murphy must make the payments until Angel turns 18 and has agreed to cover Mel’s attorney fees of $10,000.

The court documents stated:

“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 documents state that Brown has to take responsibility for health insurance, health care, extracurricular activities, and educational expenses for Angel. It adds that the agreement is a non-guideline child support order, which means a material change of circumstances is not necessary for changes.
