I can work with Almedha having a proper husband, though an affair is optional if you need more ???? about Kurt's parentage. I'd go with Amelia as an AU name in that case. She's most likely been kind of distant with her husband since Kurt came into the picture; having a kid hit her like a ton of unhappy bricks. I don't think divorce would be on the table, they're just very neutral about each other.
I was thinking Kurt's dad would be away often on business trips/film production and generally busy and clearly not around enough for Amelia's taste. I'm not sure how big of a role you want him to have, so that could be changed if you want.
Amelia would fit scarily well as that intrusive and elitist presence in his life trying to keep Kurt away from "unsuccessful friends". Don't talk to the peasants dear, mother will be all the help you need, etc. She does hold genuine affection for her son, just expresses it in obsessive clingwrap sorts of ways. Picking up tutoring just to make sure her son's tutors were doing a good job, arranging for weekend trips to visit him while Hecklebusters was filming, and so on.
Maybe part of the agreement with Kurt going to college and accepting a smaller stipend was Amelia giving him room to breathe/agreeing to Stay Away From Him sometimes? She'd be melodramatic with it of course ("My son doesn't want to see me, how awful"), and she'd take up tutoring at the resource center on the off chance she'd get to see him more often than certain days. Empty nest syndrome, man.
As a side note there's probably a collection of every Hecklebusters DVD and copies of magazines that feature it (mostly Kurt) in her penthouse. She's not quite That Embarrassing Mom with a million pictures of her kid in her purse, but she's pretty embarrassing tbh
