Nickelback founder and frontman Chad Kroeger has been ordered to pay his common-law spouse $25,000 a month following their separation.
Marianna Goriul took Kroeger to a British Columbia court for spousal support payments after their 6 ½ year relationship came to an end. She wanted $95,760 a month. Kroeger was willing to pay $10,000 a month. The judge locked him into $25,000 a month.
Kroeger's income last year was stated in court as $9.7 million.
The court heard about the expensive lifestyle that the couple lived with expensive food, wine, private flights, hired helicopters and limousines part of their daily life.
The judge awarded Goriul the $25000 because as part of the settlement she has be awarded the family pet and a $5100 a month pet care cost.
The couple met in 2002 before Nickelback became famous. Together they purchased a $2.5 million home in Canada and a sizeable house in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Goriul will take Kroeger to court again in August to determine her share of their assets outside of Canada.
