Future\u2019s ex-girlfriend and the mother of one of his eight children, Brittni Mealy, has asked a Georgia judge to hold the Atlanta rapper in contempt and send him to jail for allegedly ignoring a 2023 order to take out a $500,000 life-insurance policy naming her as trustee for their 12-year-old son, Prince.<\/p>\n
According to documents filed in Fulton County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ<\/em>, Mealy claims Future has \u201cwillfully failed and refused\u201d to secure the policy more than a year after the judge signed off on the requirement. The original 2023 order raised Future\u2019s monthly child-support payments from $3,000 to $5,000 and also directed him to maintain a life-insurance policy with Mealy as the custodian of any proceeds that would benefit Prince if the rapper dies.<\/p>\n Mealy\u2019s new petition argues that Future has provided no proof that such a policy exists and that repeated requests to his legal team have gone unanswered. She is requesting that the court:<\/p>\n Judges in Georgia have wide discretion on contempt sanctions. While incarceration is possible, courts usually give the non-compliant party a final deadline\u2014known as a \u201cpurge\u201d amount\u2014to fix the violation before ordering jail time.<\/p>\n Georgia law allows judges to include life-insurance provisions in support orders to guarantee that a child\u2019s financial needs will still be met if the paying parent dies. The policy must name either the child or a trusted adult (often the custodial parent) as the beneficiary or trustee. Courts typically require term policies large enough to cover support until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school.<\/p>\n Family-law attorneys say enforcement can be tricky. \u201cUnlike wage garnishment, there\u2019s no automatic system that tells the court whether a parent bought the policy,\u201d explains Atlanta attorney Aisha Johnson, who is not involved in the case. \u201cThe custodial parent has to police it, and if the other side drags its feet, the only remedy is a contempt motion.\u201d<\/p>\n Mealy and Future, whose real name is Nayvadius DeMinn Wilburn, dated in the early 2010s and welcomed Prince in 2012. Their co-parenting relationship has been punctuated by public spats:<\/p>\n Future has not yet filed a response to the contempt motion. Under court rules he has 30 days from the date of service to answer. If he fails to respond, the judge could grant Mealy\u2019s request by default.<\/p>\n While $500,000 in coverage is modest compared with the seven-figure policies many celebrities carry, the rapper\u2019s alleged non-compliance could become costly. A judge could tack on Mealy\u2019s legal fees (already estimated at $15,000 in the filing) and impose daily fines until the policy is in force.<\/p>\n More broadly, the headlines add to a year of legal headaches for Future. He is separately:<\/p>\n Still, the 40-year-old artist remains one of streaming\u2019s most reliable stars, with more than 40 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a sold-out European tour that wrapped last month.<\/p>\n A Fulton County judge is expected to schedule a hearing within 60 days. Until then, Future can avoid jail by providing proof of a valid policy or by negotiating a new agreement with Mealy. Sources close to the rapper told InfluencersWiki<\/em> that he \u201cintends to handle the matter privately and move on,\u201d but declined to confirm whether a policy has already been purchased.<\/p>\n Child-support orders are not suggestions. When a judge mandates life insurance, failure to follow through can lead to wage garnishment, driver\u2019s-license suspension, or even jail. For high-earning parents, the stakes include both money and public image. Whether Future addresses the gap quickly or risks a courtroom showdown will determine if he adds another legal loss to an otherwise red-hot year.<\/p>\n\n
