Dorit Kemsley has scored a temporary win in her latest court fight with estranged husband PK Kemsley. Their divorce has become increasingly tense as the former couple battles over money and their family home.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star opposed PK’s emergency effort to put the property on the market. For now, the court is not ordering an immediate sale.
PK Kemsley failed to convince the court that an immediate home sale was necessary
A judge declined PK’s emergency request to list the six-bedroom, 10-bathroom Los Angeles home, TMZ reported. Dorit’s attorney, Samantha Spector, argued that the situation did not require emergency action. The court agreed that the sale did not need to move forward immediately. The issue is not over. The court will revisit the dispute at another hearing on Aug. 26.
PK has argued that the home faces foreclosure and needs to be sold before the former couple loses more equity. He has also said that he covered the bills for months after moving out. According to PK, he later stopped paying after getting his own home.
Dorit has challenged that account. She says PK has enough money to bring the overdue payments current. She also argues that he should continue covering household costs because he has not been paying formal child or spousal support.
The latest ruling follows weeks of public fighting over the property. In July, Dorit asked the court to reject PK’s bid to sell the home right away. She claimed he had agreed to cover the mortgage and household expenses after their separation.
PK, meanwhile, has accused Dorit of spending heavily on clothing and travel while the mortgage fell behind. Dorit disputed those claims and defended some of the spending as costs tied to her RHOBH work. The foreclosure fight has become one of the biggest issues in the couple’s divorce. It is also unfolding as Dorit returns to filming the next Real Housewives season.
For now, PK has not secured the emergency sale he wanted. However, the Aug. 26 hearing means the future of the home remains unsettled.
