    The suit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday by the management firm London & Co.

    Love, the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, sold a portion of the catalogue for $19.5 million last year. London was hired to provide business management services to Love and was to be paid 5% of the revenues received by Love, according to the lawsuit.

    Love's attorney, Howard Weitzman, said of the allegations, "I'm aware there's an issue between London Co. and Courtney, but I have not seen the lawsuit."

    London is asking for $975,000 it claims it is owed as well as costs of the suit.
