Jules’ attorney called out her estranged husband for trying to blame his client for the family’s financial problems.
“Mr. Wainstein hasn’t paid $10,000 on September 30 of 2016 or $10,000 on Oct 28, 2016 for tuition for the children, utilities, Uber, transportation, nanny and weekly groceries,” Jules’ lawyer revealed. “No payments. He has not paid tuition. The Uber account shuts off and on. There is constant terminations of service for Time Warner Cable. Council stated in September on the record, that Uber would be paid.”
Jules' lawyer told the judge that Michael was not fulfilling his promises to take care of the children.
“We have tax returns that still haven’t been filed,” he said. “Look at his drafts once again. This year will be worse than 2015-2016, but it never says what 2015-2016 is. He said he’s applied for financial aid for the children, but no application. I doubt it’s been filed because I haven’t seen it. He tried to put it on my client that she’s holding things up. It was supposed to be done months and months ago.”
Jules’ attorney told the judge that they were concerned about his money situation.
“We wonder how he’s paying his expenses, he seems to be doing okay, living fine, not getting kicked out,” he said “He’s traveling to Florida, hosting diners. We believe he has another residence.”
However, Michael’s attorney countered Jules’ claims, telling the judge, “The September order did order him to pay Uber and utilities. They were paid. There is no proof they weren’t paid. That was connected to his mother’s credit card.”
But the judge took umbrage with Michael’s explanation, saying in court: “Allegedly he’s been to Florida twice, once to pursue a pilot’s license fee. I’m wondering if he’s curtailed his lifestyle and not complying with my orders. There is money available for certain things but not to comply. Why is he getting a pilot’s license, but not paying child support?”
“There are problems with respect to the marital residence,” Jules’ attorney Allan Mayefsky said. “There are eviction notices outstanding for my client’s two floors of their residence. Not the 3rd floor, which is the plaintiff’s piece, just her two.”
Her attorney accused Michael of continuing to live a lavish lifestyle while his wife and children face eviction.
Michael’s lawyer Leia Richardson defended how rent for Jules’ floors of the apartment have been outstanding since 2014. He recently settled the second floor action with payments up until October of 2016.
When Richardson claimed that Michael would use the $25,000 from the sale of their Mercedes to pay off the outstanding rent, the judge denied it since the money was ordered to be given to Jules.
“He has to figure out a way to comply with the order,” Judge Michael Katz said. “I don’t know what efforts he’s making to earn income. $25,000 is going to have to be passed onto the defendant or it’s a violation of the stipulation.”
Radar Online reports that Wainstein has a court hearing on Monday, January 23 regarding a lawsuit filed by 9W19 Corporation for the eviction.
