*Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, has finalized her divorce from Richard Lawson, agreeing to pay him a lump sum of $300,000. 

 In Touch reports that court documents reveal that Tina and Richard, who wed in 2015 and separated in July 2023, cited irreconcilable differences. 

The parties agree that “irreconcilable differences have arisen between the parties which have led to the irremediable breakdown of the marriage, making it impossible for the parties to live together as husband and wife.”

The settlement divides their assets, with Tina receiving properties, jewelry, vehicles, and creative rights, while Richard was awarded a 2021 Cadillac Escalade, several bank and retirement accounts, and royalties. Per In Touch, “Richard was awarded all rights to his studio, artwork, jewelry, clothing, his royalties, and all rights to his SAG pension plan,” the outlet writes. 

Both parties will handle their respective debts, and neither will receive spousal support.

Here’s more from InTouch: 

The deal also had a non-disparagement clause that prohibits either from speaking negatively about the other or the other’s children and their spouses. Another provision stated, “With respect to the mutual desire to protect the privacy rights of any and all present or future grandchildren of either party, the parties agree that they will not, when asked by any media or person, discuss said grandchildren or future grandchildren whether verbally or in writing.”

Richard and Tina were longtime friends before they began dating in 2013 and wed two years later. She was previously married to Mathew Knowles from 1980 to 2011. They share two superstar daughters, singers Beyoncé and Solange. Lawson was also wed once before, to Denise Gordy.

The ex-couple began dating following Tina’s split from Mathew. In 2015, Richard and Tina had a star-studded wedding ceremony on a yacht in Newport Beach, California.
