Detailed Summary:
- Dreka Gates claims Kevin Gates began dismantling their family's finances in late 2021, ceasing payments for essential obligations like property taxes and private school tuition for their two children.
- She alleges Kevin then acquired 18 luxury vehicles and a $4.7 million estate in Calabasas, contrasting with their Mississippi farm facing foreclosure due to a $7 million IRS levy for unpaid taxes.
- Dreka is seeking $27,193 per month in child support and $46,274 per month in spousal support from Kevin.
- Kevin Gates' defense reportedly includes the claim that they were never legally married, which Dreka's legal documents describe as "factually baseless."
- Dreka has requested temporary primary physical custody of their children, Islah (12) and Khaza (11), stating she has cared for them 95% of the time since 2023.
- The couple reportedly married in October 2015, and Dreka filed for divorce in July, citing "irreconcilable differences."
