Dorit Kemsley Demands Child Support: She's Primary Caregiver
Reality TV star Dorit Kemsley from 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' has filed legal documents demanding child support from her ex-husband, Paul 'PK' Kemsley. She claims she is the primary caregiver for their two minor children, spending 95% of the time with them, while PK sees them only 5% of the time.
In the court filing, submitted through her attorney Samantha Spector, Dorit refutes PK's allegations that she spends excessively on fashion and travel while ignoring mortgage payments. She counters that PK is the one splurging on personal expenses while neglecting bills.
Dorit emphasizes that she handles the day-to-day care of the children without any financial support from PK. She is asking the court to deny PK's request to sell the family home, arguing that his claims of foreclosure are baseless since he has sufficient funds to cover the payments.
On the other hand, PK alleges that Dorit has spent over $1 million on luxury clothing and trips around the world while failing to make mortgage payments. He also claims he earns more than she does and that he has been paying the bills even after moving out several months ago.
Additionally, PK accuses Dorit of frequently leaving the children with nannies or her parents instead of allowing him to see them. In recent documents, he mentioned that Dorit went to Paris for a lavish birthday celebration, leaving the kids with their grandparents in Florida.
This dispute unfolds amid the couple's high-profile divorce, drawing attention from fans of the show. The public nature of the child support and custody battle could affect both parties' images, especially Dorit, who has always portrayed herself as a devoted mother. It remains unclear how the court will rule, but experts note that such celebrity battles often drag on with mutual accusations.
