Vanessa Amorosi's mum given DAYS to move out - after judge hands over her home of the last two decades to the Absolutely Everybody star READ MORE: Pop star's mother makes heartbreaking plea to her daughter By Liam Beatty For Nca Newswire Published: 03:02, 9 September 2024 | Updated: 03:02, 9 September 2024 e-mail View comments Australian pop star Vanessa Amorosi's mother has been given two months to leave her home of two decades after court found the singer was entitled to full ownership of the property. The Melbourne-born artist launched legal action against Joyleen Robinson in March 2021, seeking sole ownership of two properties held by a trust that listed both women as owners. One was a semirural Narre Warren property in Melbourne 's southeast, while the second was her current residence in California .
The pair had a falling out in 2015 after Amorosi was forced to sell her first home in the United States because she couldn't meet the mortgage payments, later claiming she believed Ms Robinson had been 'very generous' with her money. Her mother countersued, arguing that while she was happy to relinquish control of the California property she believed the Narre Warren home was hers. She had lived in the home for more than two decades.
Delivering his judgment on the singer's 43rd birthday, Justice Moore found Amorosi was entitled to take sole control of both properties purchased with her music royalties. But the judge said Amorosi would have to repay Ms Robinson almost $870,00.
