I just read this....un.be.liev.able

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The mother of Ray Charles's 16-year-old son has asked a court to increase child support for the teenager from $3,000 a month to at least $60,000.

Mary Anne den Bok filed a petition Tuesday in which she says additional money from Charles's estate would provide Corey Robinson den Bok with "the lifestyle he enjoyed" before his father's death June 10.

Her petition seeks a minimum figure of $60,000 a month but suggests the appropriate support should be $240,800 per month.

A hearing was scheduled for Sept. 27 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Calls to a Charles family representative, Jerry Digney, were not immediately returned Friday night.


The famed singer and musician was 73 when he died of acute liver disease at his Beverly Hills home. He left 12 children and, according to the petition, a $100 million estate.

Den Bok claimed Charles failed to pay child support for 18 months before December 2003.

During that time, according to the petition, she lost income after moving her family into a rental property that contained toxic mold.

Den Bok claimed she developed mold-related health problems, was unable to work and cannot pay for her son's school tuition.

Mary Anne den Bok was and is a golddigger. she only had the kid with Ray Charles cause she knew she would be set for a long time being able to claim money for the kid and not have to work. She got scared when the kid hit 16 knowing she could only collect money for him 2 more years until he was 18 and she wanted a whole heck of alot of it so she could stash as much as possible away for her own self. She's too unattractive and old for any other star to want her now so she can't hope to get knocked up and give birth for more income. when you collect child support you don't have to prove what it's going for so she could use a small amount on the kid and alot for her worthless self.
