Rudy Giuliani gets himself tangled up in yet another legal issue after his former wife filed a lawsuit to sue him.
Here is everything you need to know.
Rudy Giuliani is being sued by his ex-wife
Rudy Giuliani’s ex-wife Judith Giuliani filed new court papers with the Supreme Court of the State of New York on Tuesday.
As per the documents, Judith has accused Rudy of allegedly withholding $262,000 which he should have paid as per their divorce agreement.
The court documents said, ‘Your failure to appear in court may result in immediate arrest or imprisonment for contempt of court.’
What does the $262,000 cover?
The $262,000 includes the cost of their Palm Beach condo, private club fees, and a housekeeper.
Rudy allegedly owes Judith $140,000 for their residence at South Lake Drive, Palm Beach. She has been trying to sell the property.
Furthermore, Judith claims in the documents that Rudy, ‘is required to pay me $200,000 regardless of whether or not the property has been sold.’ She has added that he has only given her $60,000.
Judith has further mentioned that she was forced to pay Rudy’s share of the country club after he failed to, ‘pay his half of the annual club membership dues.’
She said, ‘I had no choice but to pay his share of the dues… in order to remain in good standing with the clubs.’ She wants her money to be compensated.
Moreover, Rudy was supposed to pay her $5,000 a month for ‘help’ such as an assistant or a housekeeper.
Judith however claims that since last summer Rudy, ‘has made inconsistent and sporadic payments to me, including a $10,000 check in June 2021 that was returned due to insufficient funds.’ She has said in the documents that he now owes her $45,000 for the help.
Judith was married to Rudy for fifteen years before she officially filed for divorce in April 2018.
Meanwhile, Rudy’s legal battle with his ex-wife comes after he was ordered to take a stand in front of a Georgia special grand jury over former President Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Furthermore, Rudy’s law license has been suspended in both New York City and Washington DC as he faces ethics charges for, ‘false election claims.’
Dominion Voting Systems is also suing the former New York mayor for $1.3 billion as they claim their voting machines were rigged.
