Celebrity Justice
Kate Walsh Dogged By Soon-to-be Ex

They were only a married couple for 14 months, but the nasty divorce between Kate Walsh and Alex Young has just gotten uglier.

Kate Walsh, Alex Young

We've obtained legal papers filed last Friday by Young, who claims the accounting firm he and Walsh used has turned on him by refusing to ante up a full accounting of joint assets. But wait till you hear what they are arguing over.

London & Co., the accounting firm, filed legal papers earlier this month, essentially asking a judge to tell Young to get lost. The firm wants a protective order against Young, claiming it has given him all the financial info he needs but he keeps making more demands. Now Young's lawyer is fighting the protective order, claiming London & Co. is acting like a P.R. firm for Walsh and that the protective order reads like a "press release to benefit one client, Ms. Walsh."

Young says a month before they got married back in 2007, they bought a multi-million dollar house together and furnished it with expensive stuff, and London & Co. refuses to give him an accounting. But we know what went down -- fact is, Kate made the lion's share of the down payment and the house has gone down in value since they bought it -- so there are no profits to split. Plus, he walked out on Kate, leaving her with a huge mortgage and all the monthly expenses.

Launch PhotosSo why is Young making such a big stink over assets that are pretty clean? It's a little perplexing. It's not like he needs the dough. We know he makes more than a million bucks a year as a bigwig at FOX. She makes around $3 mil a year on "Private Practice" and other projects.

So let's review. He leaves her, sticks her with the mortgage, he makes a bundle, but he's dragging out the divorce like a remake of "War of the Roses." So, we ask, what's the deal?"

16. Team Kate. The guy seems like a asshole. She should get a protective order against him.

17. I agree with the guy here. Seems perfectly reasonable that he would want a detailed accounting of the property . The accounting firm's protective order serves two purposes: It makes him look like a psycho, and at the same time stalls his (legitimate) requests. He probably IS leaning on them, but even so, that does not entitle them to a protective order.

18. He sounds like a douche, BUT they knew each other for less than a year before getting married. You do your research before finding a doctor, before buying a house, before taking a job - maybe do your research before marrying a man. And she's an actress...did she not have a pre-nup? Doesn't she know this crap happens about 99% of the time in Hollywood? Come on.

19. The accountanting firm is getting a protective order because Young was harassing them with threatening letters. Walsh did not fire her agents you idiot poster above. She moved on up to a different agency and is still friends with her former manager. Check pics they were seen having lunch together a couple wks ago. Kate Walsh has always been praised by everyone she works with nothing bad has ever been reported on her.

20. You've all been reading this wrong. Kate's accountants are filing for a protective order against HIM for harassment & threatening behavior. It is HE that is the psycho in this case. They wouldn't be filing a protective order if they didn't have a chance of it being enacted. What an idiot.

And some of you should check your facts. They have been no reports of divaish behavior on the Private Practice set. Kate is universally well-liked by all reports - her show isnt the bitch fest that is the Greys set. Plus she moved agents a few years ago - Kate is the one suing her old agents for fraud.

Given this guy is co-president at Fox, he's obviously desperate.

21. Alex Young is a controlling asshole. Kate Walsh was seen going to her lawyers office before he filed. She was going to divorce him, but he beat her to it to it. He could keep his ego and she would get the blame. She is contesting the separation date because he is after her money. Now he continues to drag the divorce out.

You posters who are slamming Kate Walsh have no idea. She is the real victim here.

23. Team Kate! He is a jerk!

24. T - you are a moron. they were his accountants. his is entitled to all of his financial information. go read their "protective order" - it's a stall tactic like the previous guy said. would you allow your accountant to decide what information of yours you see? it's illegal and unethical. Hello, Bernie Madoff?!? Oh, and she did fire all her former people. Her lawyer admitted it! try Google something before you post. Might make it seem like you actually know what you are talking about.

25. accountants hiding paperwork is no joke. my ex-husband and his accountant did the exact same thing and hid money away in secret accounts. it took me 3 years to find everything and i lost my house in the process.

26. Dude works for FOX. Enough said.

Posted at 4:18AM on Apr 27th 2009 by there all going to laugh at you

27. i really hope this isn't what kate and this accountant is doing. it's so bad and the truth eventually comes out. thankfully, the judge threw the book at my ex and his accountant.

28. @jamie You check your facts you idiot. Kate moved on up to a bigger agency. It is what you do when you become a bigger star. CAA is the top talent agency. She is still friends with her former manager b/c there is pics of them having lunch like two wks ago.

29. who cares about this divorce? we should really be talking about that HIDEOUS Orange jumpsuit she wore to the GLAAD awards! What happened to her? She used to be so sexy and stylish, now she looks like Gumby's orange, tranny sister!!! Maybe Kate should spend less money on lawyers and upgrade her stylist!!!
