RadarOnline is reporting that a NC judge ruled in favor of Antwaun Cook in his divorce proceeding against ex-wife Paula, finding that the pair?s separation date was September 14, 2009 — not June, 2010, as Paula had claimed.
Fantasia took the witness stand in the case last month, where she admitted to having an abortion with Antwaun?s child.
?Did you tell Mr. Cook you aborted his child?” the singer was asked on November 22.
“I did, yeah,? Fantasia responded.
The former American Idol winner was then asked when she aborted the baby, to which she admitted: ?It hasn’t been too long ago.?
Paula had claimed Fantasia knew Antwaun was married and went ahead with their relationship anyway ? thus the court hearings to uncover the truth.
There?s no word yet on what effect the court decision will have on Paula?s plan to sue the singer under North Carolina?s unique Alienation of Affection law. Fantasia and Paula had been mediating behind closed doors discussing a possible settlement but with this recent ruling, Fantasia may be able to save a boatload of cash.
She better thank her lucky stars…

Check out Earl “DMX” Simmon’s latest mug shot.
DMX posed for the handsome photo in Arizona earlier this month, where he is currently serving time. As previously reported, X was jailed back in November for failing to check in with his probation officer.
This latest shot brings Earl’s grand total of mug shots to TWELVE, which is also the number of months he has to serve on the probation violation charges.
[Revisit: The Many Faces of Earl… (Mugshots)]
The Arizona court handed down the year-long sentence against the rapper last week. He will be given credit for the 113 days he’s already served.
Simmons, 39, was arrested last month after he allegedly failed to submit to drug testing and drove on a suspended license. He initially denied the allegations and was held without bond. He was placed on probation last year after convictions for attempted aggravated assault for throwing a food tray at a jail guard, and theft for trying to using a fake name to avoid paying a $7,500 hospital bill.
Since no one really knows what’s wrong with his “A”zz, DMX released a Swizz Beatz produced single prior to returning to the clink called “Y’all Don’t Really Know” which features Busta Rhymes. CLICK HERE to check it out…
