As if it wasn’t already sad enough to see actors, Tisha Campbell and Duane Martin say ‘peace out’ to each other after 20 years a marriage, now there’s this.
What Tisha Is Accusing Duane Martin Of
The former “Martin” actress is accusing Duane of hiding major money from her as they go through the divorce process. She’s now asking the judge to to take action against Duane for trying to play her.
It’s not yet known how much money Tisha’s accusing Duane from hiding from her, but according to her latest court filing, she says he hid and misappropriated money during their marriage. For those reasons, she wants payback.
Tisha is seeking spousal support from Duane and she also wants to block him from being eligible of receiving spousal support of any kind from her.
Tisha & Duane Accused Of Money Fraud
Tisha’s latest filing against Duane, isn’t his only current money problem. As we previously reported, they BOTH are caught up in a bankruptcy fraud lawsuit, which ultimately Duane is taking the blame for…after Tisha told the court it was all his fault. In case y’all missed that, here’s what we reported a few weeks ago…
They’ve been fighting to prove to the court that they did not intentionally hide thousands during their prior bankruptcy filing, but apparently a judge ain’t buying it.The Martins are accused of intentionally hiding $50,000 during their prior bankruptcy filing, in order to pocket the money, instead of properly paying their dues. In a March court filing, Duane and Tisha finally both responded to the claims and in doing so, they also revealed just how tense things between them actually are and/or was.
Based on court docs, it appears that the bankruptcy fraud situation was all Duane’s fault and he’s manning up to it.
Via TheBlast: According to documents obtained by The Blast, Duane Martin is pleading with the court to not sanction him and his estranged wife after the trustee in their divorce claimed they hid $50,000 in acting residuals. The crux of the argument is over a $125,000 payment that was made late to the Trustee, and an alleged misunderstanding over which residuals the Trustee is entitled to given that the Martins thought they were buying back their rights.
In his declaration, Duane admits he “Had problems determining what amounts might be owed to the estate” when he delivered a check for Tisha’s residuals. He says the blunder falls squarely on his shoulders: “Prior to our separation, I handled the family finances and business finances by myself. I recognized then that I was not capable of preparing an accounting by myself.”
Duane then revealed that things are apparently so bad between him and Tisha, that communication between them is and/or was pretty much nonexistent and that when they do talk, they beef:
Duane says, “We were having difficulty communicating with each other and agreeing about major and minor issues, including who to retain to prepare the accounting requested by the Trustee.”
That ain’t all though, the judge ordered them to turn over all financial documents of residuals they’ve earned since their February divorce filing, up until the present. Until it’s determined how much (if any) money they owe, according to The Blast, the [bankruptcy] trustee will continue to collect all residuals and the Martins won’t see a dime, for now. If the accounting reveals the pair owe money, they will have 30 days to pay it
And unfortunately, the saga continues. Hopefully the Martins will be able to move past this soon.
