Mother of Ray Charles' son to get $3,000 a month in child support

<p>A judge ruled that the mother of Ray Charles' teenage son will continue to receive $3,000 a month in child support, not the $15,000 she wanted, an attorney said.</p><p>Judge Coleman A. Swart ruled, however, that 17-year-old Corey Robinson den Bok also should receive money for his education and medical expenses, said Manley Freid, attorney for the executor of Charles' estate.</p><p>Mary Anne den Bok had initially sought at least $60,000 a month in support for the teenager, but later amended that request.</p><p>The famed singer and musician, who was born in Georgia, was 73 when he died of acute liver disease at his Beverly Hills home in June.</p><p>The teenager said outside court Wednesday that he wanted to return to the lifestyle he enjoyed when Charles was alive _ including living in a much larger house with room to invite friends to stay over.</p><p>"I would go to his concerts, I'd go backstage, he came to sing me happy birthday on my birthdays, he'd come for parents day at school," he said.</p><p>Attorneys for the executor of Charles' will have questioned whether Corey is Charles' child. But a judge ruled last month that the teen is the late singer's son because he is listed that way in the will.</p>
