Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore’s divorce is STILL not finalized and Media Take Out learned that the divorce battle with ex-husband Marc Daly is heating up – again.
Kenya and Marc have been unable to reach a divorce settlement, as Marc is asking for his ex-wife to pay him BIG BANK to walk away from the marriage. He also wants joint custody, and possible child support payments, from Kenya.
Media Take Out spoke with a person close to Kenya who claims that Kenya offered a “fair” settlement to Marc – which amounts to many hundreds of thousands of dollars – but so far, he’s balked at her offer.
The two were set to battle it out in court next month. But now there’s a problem.
According to court documents seen by Media Take Out, Marc’s lawyer has officially quit the case, just days before trial. Radar Online was the first news agency to report this.
In documents filed in Georgia court last week, Marc’s lawyer Regina Edwards informed the court of her request to withdraw from the case.
The attorney told the court that the trial is scheduled for May 22, 2023, but “however, said proceedings will not be affected by the undersigned’s withdrawal.”
Meaning Marc has less than a month to get a new lawyer, and get ready for trial.
As Media Take Out reported, Kenya filed for divorce from Marc in May 2021. In the petition, she listed the date of separation as September 19, 2019, and noted they had been living in a “bonafide state of separation since that date.”
The Bravo star said the marriage was “irretrievably broken” with no hope for a reconciliation. The couple shares a daughter named Brooklyn, who was born in 2018.
Marc has thus far agreed to the divorce and with Kenya having primary custody. However, he demanded joint legal custody. Marc also is asking Kenya to pay him for the home they shared. Kenya purchased the pad before getting hitched, but renovated it – and added value to the home during their marriage making a portion of that value “marital property.” Marc is also asking that Kenya pay his legal bills, which amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
