Anita Baker managed to avoid jail time in Detroit today by reaching a last minute agreement with her ex-husband’s attorney regarding the couple’s divorce settlement.

The 52-year-old songstress and her attorneys were able to create a process that eventually will decide how much her former husband Walter Bridgforth is owed in music royalties as part of the couple’s split.

“I’m so happy. … I have never been in such a position before,” Baker told he Associated Press in the hallway outside court. “And we don’t intend to ever be in such a position ever again. I just wanna go home, and I’m happy to go home. … As horrific as it could have been, it was lovely to feel supported, though, on the other end.”
