Celebrity Justice
Jon Gosselin -- The Check's in the Mail

TMZ has learned at 1:23 PM ET -- 30 minutes ago from the time of this post -- Kate Gosselin's lawyers received an email from Jon Gosselin's Pennsylvania lawyer stating that he has $152,000 from Jon that will repay Kate for the money he looted from the joint account.



As we first reported, the judge in the case ordered Jon to repay $180,000 -- Jon has already repaid $28,000 so the balance is $152,000.

Under the terms of the judge's order, Jon is required to wire the money to Kate's lawyers. That has not been done yet.

Kate's lawyer, Mark Momjian, tells TMZ if he gets the money today he'll cancel the court hearing on Monday.

There's another $55,000 in dispute. Jon says Kate had no right to take the money. Kate says she spent it on household matters. The arbitrator will decide who's right at a later date.

That's a shame! What the heck was he thinking? Taking that money shows that he didn't trust his wife after years together. I still hope they get back together, but only after some serious counseling. TLC should send the two of them away to some exotic island and let them get reacquainted.

11. Glad he is giving the money back but STRONGLY believe she needs to account for the $55,000 she spent for bills. ????? He is going to have a lot of child support to pay but I don't believe she deserves alimony. If she can ask for alimony then he should sue her for pain and suffering for all the verbal abuse she gave him on the show. Can't image what she must have talked to him like when the camera was off since she was a total ballistic nut to him while the camera was rolling. :( ??

12. The Gosselins were told to keep things private, which is what Kate's legal team is doing. Why is Jon's lawyer blabbing to the press again? How obnoxious. They should be found in contempt of the court for that.

13. They both drive me crazy but if I have to pick a side to support it would be for Jon. I have never liked Kate.

14. Glad he is paying the money back but I would like to know how she spent $55,000 on bills. Wow. I know she is seeking spousal support but shouldn't he sue her for pain and suffering. She was totally abusive to him on the show. Can't imagine how she talked to him while the camera was not rolling. I am not so sure why anyone feels sorry for her. The only ones I feel sorry for is their children. I am just saying...
