Frances Bean Cobain’s estranged husband is reportedly requesting $25,000 (£18,000) a month in spousal support as the pair attempt to reach a divorce settlement.

Isaiah Silva, 31, has requested spousal support after claiming the daughter of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, 24, had agreed to pay private school tuition fees for his child from a previous relationship, according to court documents obtained by People Magazine.

Silva, a musician, said he put his career on hold during their two-year marriage.

Frances filed for divorce in March, citing unreconcilable differences. There is reportedly no pre-nup agreement in place.

In her filing at a Los Angeles Superior Court, she asked that Silva should not be entitled to financial gain from her father’s estate, which is estimated to be worth $450 million.

A report by E!News said Frances was open to paying and receiving spousal support. Frances and Silva do not have children together.

A representative for Francis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
