MEL B CLAIMS SHE CAN’T FIND WORK IN THE UNITED STATES: Mel B says all her sources of income in America “have been exhausted” since her judging role on America’s Got Talent came to an end. The 44-year-old singer is hoping to be able to move back to her native England when her U.S. visa expires in February, along with her children including youngest daughter Madison. Mel is also requesting a custody agreement change regarding 8-year-old daughter Madison, who she shares with ex-husband Stephen Belafonte. “As the court is well aware, my marriage to Stephen was unhealthy,” Mel continued in the docs. “I was subjected to years of verbal and sexual abuse by Stephen, which included his active isolation of my daughters and me (including Madison) from my home and family in the United Kingdom.” Mel currently has primary custody of Madison with Belafonte getting overnight custody every Wednesday, as well as every other weekend.
