Pras Michel is a member of the Fugees, and he has had a number of legal and financial difficulties over the years. His protracted child support case with his former wife, Angela Severiano, is one of the most talked-about instances. The relationship between the two has been reported publicly because of various claims and filed cases.

Angela Severiano was married to Pras between 1997 and 2000. The two ended up in a long-term dispute over money and child support after divorcing. These court cases have involved their son, Landon.

Angela has accused Pras of money laundering to minimize the amount of child support he was to pay her. Pras denies these claims. The conflict has spanned over several years, and it has involved accusations, litigious actions, and fluctuating financial conditions.

Angela Severiano married Michel in 1997, and they spent three years as a couple. Their union broke in 2000, and since the separation, they have been in touch to co-parent their son.

Landon, their son, has also been one of the key elements in the talks between them. Angela has been required to raise him, whereas Pras has been required to pay child support. This role has led to constant disagreement between the two.

Angela has reported in court documents that Pras has failed to make consistent payments. She has said that his financial troubles did not align with his claims about poor finances and a poor lifestyle. This resulted in increased conflicts and increased court intervention.

Angela Severiano has claimed that Pras Michel hid money through shell companies. She said the purpose was to make his income appear lower so he would not have to pay the full child support amount. According to reports, Pras has been ordered to pay $4,800 a month to Angela for their son.

There have also been reports that Pras owes a significant amount in back child support. One figure mentioned in public documents is around $125,000. Angela has said this amount grew because Pras did not pay regularly or thoroughly. Pras has denied hiding money and has said that he does not have a steady income.

The legal dispute has continued for years. Courts have reviewed claims, financial records, and statements from both sides. Even while Pras has faced other legal issues in recent years, the child support matter has remained active.
