Data about Lionel and Diane Richie from Divorce Records
After seven years of marriage, Diane Richie filed for divorce in
October 2003 due to irreconcilable differences. Diane asked for a
settlement of $300,000 a month to finance the lifestyle she was
accustomed to since they were wed which perked the ears of several of
their fans. The settlement was also supposed to be for child support in
part. Lionel, his accountants and attorneys were then busy fixing the
details which ended up with Lionel paying half of what his wife
initially was asking for.
In divorce records search, Diane was such a big spender and constantly
bugged Lionel to maintain her lavish lifestyle and wants. Prior to
their wedding, they already had a son Myles Brockman and a daughter
came along in 1998, Sofia. Diane said she could spend however she
wishes whenever she wishes because she knew Lionel could afford it.
Lionel, on the other hand, described the relationship as the old
ball-and-chain. He always felt suffocated with his wife's demands and
argued with her about it often. He found reprieve when he traveled away
from home which also bugs Diane on the other end. Lionel had a long
break from his music career when he got married but when he returned
after a few years, he noticed that his relationship started to crumble
and situations were harder to solve compared before. He may have made
up for his absence by spoiling Diane with unlimited allowance.
Divorce Records Aftermath
The divorce of Lionel and Diane was very controversial due to the high
demands of the socialite. Lionel found the whole thing hilarious since the
numbers might be a compliment to his personal worth. The couple remained quiet
afterwards and they both see their kids as much as they could. Lionel stated
that it was the perfect time to communicate with his little ones more since the
separation in public divorce records might be hurting them a lot. At present,
the two are said to be friends on neutral grounds. Their divorce would be the
second for Lionel and the first for Diane.
