A divorce attorney for Kate Gosselin says she wants child support and temporary spousal support from her husband Jon.
Attorney Mark Momjian said the petition for support from Gosselin, 34, was filed in response to the “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ star’s husband reportedly taking nearly $230,000 from their bank account, People.com reported Friday.
“She needs relief in light of the draining of substantial marital assets in violation of the arbitrator’s decision that the money should be used only for specific purposes,” Momjian said of his client.
People magazine said an emergency petition has been filed in Montgomery County, Pa., seeking a court order that would force Jon Gosselin, 32, to return the money.
His divorce lawyer, Mark Heller, told People Thursday he and his client remain hopeful the couple’s financial issues can be resolved without a court battle.
“We are hoping in the next few days we can all do some bookkeeping,” Heller said. “I’m pretty sure this can come to a cordial resolution.”
