Chris Brown and Nia Amey are reportedly at war over child support after the mother of his daughter Royalty requested an increase in payments. The Loyal hitmaker - who it was revealed earlier this year had fathered a child with Amey - had been paying her $2,500 a month in child support but stopped the payments in March.Brown chose to suspend the payments after Amey asked for $15,000 in child support, gossip website TMZ reports.The insider claims Amey will be filing legal documents requesting the 28-year-old star increases the child support as well as the back payments for the missed months.Meanwhile, a source previously claimed Brown was keen on raising his daughter together with Amey as he didn't want her to have a repeat of his childhood where he was raised from two separate households. They shared: "He's adamant that they raise Royalty together. It's very important to him that they have a near perfect relationship because he wants his daughter to be raised properly - with he and Nia."He knows from experience the hardships and heartache it can be without two parents in the same home and he doesn't want that for Royalty."The insider claimed Brown was so committed to the idea that he was considering having Amey move in with him.They added: "Her living with him - it's on his mind and he's trying to figure out just how that would work."Nia would have her own separate room. No funny business would go on. It would be for the sake of the baby only."..
