Amy Winehouse's ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, launches legal claim of $ 1,800,000 on his fortune

Amy's furious family criticized the Blake Fielder-Civil addict's attempt to seize the singer's money, claiming, "He deserves nothing."

Fielder-Civil, 37, who admitted to having introduced the heroine, singer Amy, is claiming a lump sum payment as well as a monthly allowance, The sun exclusively reports.

A source close to the family, who is currently facing a legal battle against Fielder-Civil, said: "This is someone who has spent a lot of money on Amy during their joint life.

"He also spent a large part of their marriage in jail, bringing only pain to everyone. To give him another penny would be too much.

"To say that it would be inappropriate for him to benefit from his estate would be a euphemism."

Amy, who died on July 23, 2011 at the age of 27, intoxicated with alcohol, did not leave a will. Her after-tax badets of £ 2.94 million ($ 5.3 million) were attributed to her 63-year-old mother Janis and 68-year-old father Mitch.

Since his death, it is estimated that the value of his wealth has increased significantly through song royalties.

Fielder-Civil told Amy's family that his lawyers claimed he had a valid claim because he was with her for six years during which she had published some of his bestsellers.

This comes a few days after the eighth anniversary of his death.

"Amy's family is visibly upset by this situation, especially since it happened at such a delicate time."

Another source said, "Blake is an absolute idiot. It is incredible that he is trying to tap into his estate and claim money. Janis, in particular, is very unhappy with that. "

Fielder-Civil and Amy have been married for two years and divorced in July 2009.

She paid him £ 250,000 ($ 450,000). But lawyers say the details of this settlement will be the key factor in Fielder-Civil's legal complaint.

If the payment was specified as a "net break", there is no real reason to demand more money. Otherwise, he may have a case.

Frank Arndt, senior partner at Paradigm Family Law, said: "If there was no" candid break ", a file could be pursued.

"His team may say that he needs money for a house, something he needs and that there is money in the estate."

Fielder-Civil lives in a pokey apartment located on the seventh floor of a city council estate in Leeds.

The windows of an apartment on the ground floor of the tower are closed and an old abandoned door is leaning against the wall.

In the lobby, security cameras monitor residents and visitors 24 hours a day.

Amy has been hailed as one of the most talented young composers in the world as a result of her debut album. Franc in 2003.

Three years later, his follow-up Back to black won five Grammy Awards and made it a global superstar. But she sank into addiction to drugs and alcohol, many fans accusing Fielder-Civil of celebrating.

He was accused of being a parasite, of living on Amy's fortune and having her move to a millionaire's mansion in Camden, North London.

Fielder-Civil, the inspiration of his heart-wrenching single Back to black, was in prison from July 2008 to February 2009.

He did not receive anything after Amy's death. It is not believed that he asked for money.

In a 2013 interview, Fielder-Civil said he regretted introducing Amy to the heroine. He said, "I took it about three or four times.

"We were in a hotel in East London and I thought I had with me about £ 10 ($ 18) heroin, which I was doing after a club.

"I was smoking on aluminum foil and she said," Can I try it?

"We used it once a week for about two to three weeks, then twice a week, and then it gradually grew that way. We smoked, she never injected it.

On Tuesday, fans celebrated the eighth anniversary of Amy's death.

The tragedy of 2011 sparked a surge in its popularity – music fans having bought 1.7 million albums from Amy during the first year following his death.

Mitch and Janis created the Amy Winehouse Foundation to help young musicians and people with addictions issues.

A documentary 2015 Amy explored his life.

The former black taxi driver, Mitch, also published a book titled Amy, my daughter.

The family has signed an agreement to make a biographical film about his life, the proceeds going to the foundation.

His friends and family are furious that any successful claim by Fielder-Civil could take money from charity. The latest accounts of the foundation show that she spent £ 757,577 ($ 1,356,852) for good causes in one year.

This included £ 454,102 ($ 813,316) for the Amy Winehouse Resilience program, which helps youth aged 11 to 18 with drug and alcohol problems.

Last year, Amy's family also announced their intention to host a tour featuring a hologram of Amy, which has now been tidied up.

Mitch, speaking of the proposed biopic, said, "What we want is that someone who depicts Amy as she was, the funny, bright, charming and horrible person that is". she was.

"It's useless to do the movie because I'm his father. But it's very important to get the right people to do it – and we'll do it. "

Fielder-Civil, who describes himself as an actor, ransacked the tour plan – and seemed to blame the family for having cashed his memory.

Appearing on Hello BrittanyFielder-Civil said, "It's an old movie, it can not be new.

"It can not have the same interaction with Amy, it can not be the same thing. I am a little worried … there would be no human element.

"I am opposed to all the opportunities that have come up.

"It seems that since the death of Amy, seven years ago, there have been films, a film in preparation and a tour of holograms. I do not see many other reasons for this tour. "

Fielder-Civil, whose damaged teeth and disgusted appearance shocked viewers, also downplayed her role in Amy's drug problems.

He said: "The problem of drugs is something that has been attributed to me for years.

"Amy and I only used drugs together for six months of our marriage. That was it.

"Before that, Amy was not using drugs, she was smoking cannabis, maybe I had heroin four or five times."

Yesterday, Fielder-Civil declined to comment when he left his home.
