Anita Baker managed to avoid jail time in Detroit today by reaching a last minute agreement with her ex-husband's attorney regarding the couple's divorce settlement.
The 52-year-old songstress and her attorneys were able to create a process that eventually will decide how much her former husband Walter Bridgforth is owed in music royalties as part of the couple's split.
"I'm so happy. ... I have never been in such a position before," Baker told he Associated Press in the hallway outside court. "And we don't intend to ever be in such a position ever again. I just wanna go home, and I'm happy to go home. ... As horrific as it could have been, it was lovely to feel supported, though, on the other end."
Baker, best-known for hits such as "Giving You the Best That I Got," faced a deadline of this past Wednesday to sign documents to empower court-appointed music contract expert Howard Hertz to seek information from the record companies on the amount owed to Bridgforth.
