And here’s where things get even more intense…
CUSTODY TWIST: WHO GOT THE KIDS?

But the financial ties don’t stop there.
Each child is also set to receive 0.09% of Slash’s earnings for the next 20 years.
That means every riff, every tour, every royalty check his legacy will continue to directly support his children well into the future.
