Ruben Studdard’s Mama Didnt Raise No Fool, Ex-Wife Gets NO Alimony Or Spousal Support
Ruben Studdard may have had the cleanest divorce that we’ve ever seen, and he has a top-notch prenup to thank for it. The singer filed for divorce from his wife, Surata Zuri McCants, back in November 2011, due to ‘irreconcilable differences’.
Initially, McCants tried to get the judge to nullify the prenup, stating that it was given to her just two days before the wedding and she felt pressured to sign them. The judge dismissed her claim, and McCants basically left with what she came with after the divorce.
Studdard doesn’t have to pay any alimony or spousal support, and he gets to keep their home, his jewelry, pension, royalties, clothing, and cash. McCants got her wedding dress, photo albums, a 2006 BMW (which Studdard will pay off), a $10k property settlement… oh and $2k for attorney fees.
Does anyone think that the judge should have nullified the prenup?

HELL NO.. SHORTY, READ THE FINE PRINT BOZO, THATS LIKE GOING TO THE POOL TABLE AND GIVING UP BEFORE THE 8 BALL HAS BEEN SHOT.. Congrats to Ruben on the win!
Speechless! Just because your married to someone does that mean its your payday when the divorce is over? If she brought something to the marriage the judge could rule on then that’s different.
khloe Kardashian had Lamar signing for all kinds of stuff for their prenup. If they divorce, he will pay dearly. Need I even say anything about Tiger Woods or Michael Strahan? White women set themselves up when they marry rich black men. Even Don Cornelious’ ex wife got paid and they hated each other.
Congrats! Ruben you did what you needed to do to protect what you worked hard to for and your voice and your talent with the grace of God and your family.
