Just one day after Kelis gave birth to her soon-to-be ex-husband Nas‘ son, an LA judge ordered the rapper to pay nearly $40,000 in monthly child support, according to legal documents.

On July 22, the “Milkshake” singer, who filed for divorce from Nas in April, welcomed their baby boy, Knight, into the world. The next day, LA Superior Court Judge Louis Meisinger ruled that Nas would have to pay $45,000 for his ex’s attorney fees, as well as $30,471 a month in spousal support and $9,027 in child support.

The former couple married in 2005 and will be back in court on September 8 for a hearing to determine whether the monthly support payments should be revised.
