Kenny Ghas lost the latest legal battle with his ex-wife of 10 years.
In the 10-year-old filing, Kenny was ordered to pay Balynda $30,000 a month until July 1, 2015, when he would no longer have to pay child support for their two sons. At that time, his spousal support to Balynda went up to $40,000 a month and would stay at that amount until Kenny or Balynda died or remarried.

In court documents filed last fall, Kenny, 66,asked a judgeto lower the amount of spousal support he pays to Balynda each month, alleging that he doesn’t make as much money, according toThe Daily Mail. He claimed, via his attorney — celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser — that his career has taken a hit over the last couple of years and he isn’t touring like he once was.
“Lyndie has refused to become fully self-supporting for almost 10 years. Kenny should not have to continue to bear the burden of her refusal to do so,” the documents alleged, per the outlet.
“Underneath it all, this is a relatively straightforward case of a post-judgment modification of spousal support and enforcement of the terms of the original Judgment and ‘Further Judgment,’ " wrote Commissioner Scott J. Nord.
He noted the “spousal support matter” and said that Kenny had already stated he earns $600,000 a month in rental income alone “with very negligible expenses.”
“In comparison to the income [Balynda] receives and funds she has access to, there can be no other finding but a significant disparity between the parties,” the ruling states, adding that Kenny’s additional income and assets haven’t even been included. Once they are, he could make five to 10 times as much as his ex-wife or more.
