(EXCLUSIVE) Divorce Drama! Ex NBA Baller Speedy & Meeka Claxton Battle Over Temporary Support

‘Our next chapter will be our best chapter…’ This was my promise to my daughters as I looked them in their big brown eyes and explained as best I could that mommy and daddy could not be together anymore. After 16 years together, 8 years of marriage, living in 7 different cities, 2 beautiful daughters and a championship, unfortunately, Speedy and I have decided to separate. But not because we didn’t try or because we didn’t want our family to work. If you know me even a little bit, then you know that my family means more to me than anything else. For the last 10 months I have fought hard for my family because I didn’t get married to get divorced. I love Craig (aka Speedy) and our family more than anything. I believe in the bond of family and the positive effect a two parent household can have on children because that’s how I was raised. It’s #FOE…Family Over Everything and that’s what I have been instilling in my kids since Day 1. As a mother, I try my best to raise young girls to be independent, confident women but there comes a time when you have to teach by example and this was one of those times.

However, things don’t seem to be going so cordial in the divorce. Meeka is reportedly demanding the court order Speedy to pay her temporary support – child and alimony – while the divorce is pending and before a final order is entered in the case.

Speedy then filed docs weeks later attempting to have his estranged wife shut down and demanded he not have to pay her anything until the divorce judgement is final.

The case is still pending in NY Court and the two have yet to finalize their divorce. See the court docs.
