Kate Gosselin’s lawyer: Jon must return $180K
NORRISTOWN, Pa. — A lawyer for reality star Kate Gosselin says her estranged husband Jon has been ordered to return $180,000 in marital funds. The divorcing stars of TLC’s “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ appeared briefly in family court Tuesday in the Philadelphia suburb of Norristown.
Kate Gosselin says her husband took $230,000 from a joint account.
Her lawyer, Mark Momjian, says an arbitrator will review another $55,000 she spent. Kate Gosselin says she used the money for household and child-related expenses.
The couple has eight children, including twins and sextuplets.
Momjian says Montgomery County Judge Arthur Tilson ordered Jon Gosselin to return the money by Oct. 26 or face contempt charges. He says Kate Gosselin must provide an accounting of past expenses by the same date.
