AceShowbiz - Porsha Williams' divorce from Simon Guobadia is getting bitter. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star has demanded $50,000 from her ex to cover her divorce attorney fees, but the businessman refused to do so.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Simon insisted that Porsha was not entitled to his money as they continue to fight over the validity of their prenuptial agreement. His lawyer stated, "This Court should deny [Porsha’s] request for attorney's fees because she has failed to provide a statutory basis for the request as required under Georgia law."
"[Porsha's] request for a lump sum award of $50,000 in attorney's fees is not allowed by law," the lawyer added. A judge has yet to rule on the matter.
In Porsha's filing, her attorney argued, "Wife has incurred and will continue to incur significant attorneys' fees and expenses of litigation to defend against Husband's Motion." the lawyer continued, "Which includes false statements and allegations, and requests that Husband be ordered to pay Wife temporary attorney's fees in the amount of $50,000.00 given that his actions have caused Wife to not only file her Request for Immediate and Emergency Relief, but also to respond to the instant Motion."
The TV personality filed for divorce from the Nigerian-born businessman after 15 months of marriage. Filed in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia, the divorce paper was said to be private so it's unknown why Porsha made the decisions. However, a source told PEOPLE that the pair called it quits due to an "ongoing matter," though it's "unrelated to recent allegations involving Simon's past."
Making use of Instagram, the Bravolebrity shared a note that read, "Thank you for your prayers & support." Simon, meanwhile, noted in his own statement, "Will Stop Loving My Wife When Divorce Is Final."
