Amy Winehouse’s ex-husband is expected to request a large payoff from the songstress.
Blake Fielder-Civil – who was granted a preliminary stage of divorce for the Grammy-winning star last Thursday – believes he is entitled to a multimillion settlement from Amy because he inspired much of her critically-acclaimed 2006 album Back to Black.

Let’s look at the things New Yorkers spend money on daily and don’t blink an eye about.
Amy Winehouse was granted a divorce from Blake Fielder-Civil in a London courtroom on Thursday.
In January, Blake — who is reportedly expecting a child with another woman — filed for divorce from the hitmaker on the grounds of adultery after seeing pictures of her cavorting with another man while on vacation in St. Lucia.

A UK software developer has released a "purity ring" application for Apple’s iPhone.
Users can take a purity pledge – a promise to refrain from sex until marriage – and then display a spinning purity ring graphic on the phone.
The application goes on sale at the official App Store for £0.59 ($0.99).
Wall Entertainment, the firm behind the application, said it was taking an old idea and applying it to a new technological medium.
"It’s a novel application," the company’s director, Henry Bennett told the BBC.
"Kids are engaging with their phones in a way their parents never did, so this is a way of them showing they have taken the pledge."
Started in the US, the Silver Ring Thing (SRT) is the organisation behind the purity ring symbol and was founded by Denny and Amy Pattyn in 1996.
It was their response to what they saw as a worrying rise in the number of pregnancies among teenage girls.
In the UK, SRT is based in West Sussex and run by a group of volunteers.
But Mr Bennett said there was – for now – no link between SRT and the iPhone purity ring.
"We’ve contacted the SRT to let them know about our app and we’re now waiting to see whether they will endorse this product."
While there are millions of people who have taken the purity pledge in the US, in Britain the figure is far smaller.
Mr Bennett said that they were waiting for sales figures from the Apple App Store, but said it would be "interesting" to see how well it sells in America.</p
