Celebrity Divorce

More bad news for Allen Iverson -- not only is he a terrible parent -- but his ex-attorney says he's a terrible client ... claiming the ex-NBA star needs to pony up $60,000 in legal fees STAT.

Jonathan Levine filed a lien against Iverson in GA court, claiming A.I. racked up a $61,098.86 legal bill during his nasty divorce battle -- which was just settled in January -- but has yet to pay it off.

Levine says the debt is from hours he clocked back in 2012 -- before he quit the case. He withdrew himself from Iverson's divorce at the end of last year, claiming he couldn't properly communicate with Iverson. A.I then hired a new attorney to replace him, who handled the recent settlement.

According to docs ... if Iverson doesn't cough up the cash, Levine could go after his assets.

Kristen Stewart might get a thank you note for ruining Liberty Ross' marriage ... 'cause it seems LR has upgraded BIG TIME from adulterous Rupert Sanders to music honcho Jimmy Iovine.

Liberty and Jimmy were seen leaving a NYC hotel together this morning -- amidst rumors they've been dating for the past couple of weeks.

The timing makes sense, since Liberty just filed for divorce from Rupert on January 25 ... 6 months after the "Snow White and the Huntsman" director cheated on her with K-Stew.

Tony Danza and his estranged wife can finally go on with their lives ... because TMZ has learned, the long-separated couple is officially divorced.

TMZ broke the story ... Danza filed for divorce from Tracy Danza in 2011 after 24 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." In the divorce docs, Danza claimed the couple had been separated since 2006.

Tony and Tracy have two daughters.

Yesterday, a judge finally made the split official ... after the case languished in divorce court for nearly two years.

Kim Kardashian says she wants a divorce because it "will help create a new, full life for me" ... this according to new legal docs.

Kim filed a declaration in her divorce case obtained by TMZ, complaining to the judge that Kris Humphries is not only standing in the way of her happiness, but threatening her health and welfare, and "also ... the health and well-being of my unborn child." We broke the story, her doctor is concerned as well.

Kim scoffs at Kris' claim she defrauded him in the marriage, and says it's actually Kris who is screwing with her life. She says she wants a divorce so she can move on with her life, and "the same should hold true for [Kris].

Kim notes Kanye is eager to sign a Voluntary Declaration of Paternity when their child is born, but he won't be able to if she's still married to Kris.

Kim Kardashian's doctor thinks Kim's unborn baby may be at risk, because of the stress Kris Humphries is causing by dragging out their divorce ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... several days ago Kim called her doctor in the middle of the night to come to the house because she was having severe pains. The doctor examined her, but then warned he believed the problems were largely stress-related.

Sources say ... the only significant stress in her life right now is the divorce. And hours before her meeting Tuesday with her lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser, Kim's pains returned in full force.

The doctor warned Kim she needs to handle the stress or else there could be "long-term effects." The doctor did not elaborate, but we're told Kim is freaked out her baby may be at risk.

Kim's mom Kris Jenner appeared on "The View" this morning, saying, "Kim has been going through this divorce for months. She has been under a lot of stress because of it and the doctors told her you’ve had a really tough week and the stress could become a problem if she isn't careful."

Allen Iverson is officially mansionless -- TMZ has learned the former NBA star's Atlanta home has been sold off in a foreclosure auction.

TMZ broke the story ... Iverson allegedly defaulted on a $1.2 million mortgage which sent the $4.5 million home into foreclosure. He briefly fought off an auction ... but ultimately, he couldn't stop it.

Sources close to the sale tell TMZ ... Iverson's bank purchased the mansion yesterday for $2.5 million.

It's been a rough week for Iverson -- on top of losing his mansion, the judge in Iverson's divorce case basically just called him the worst dad in the universe.

Kris Humphries just filed legal docs saying he doesn't understand the urgency for a quick divorce, and he shouldn't have to jump just because Kim Kardashian got accidentally knocked up.

Kris' lawyer, Marshall Waller, says in the docs, "What is really going on here is that an 'urgency' in the form of an apparently unplanned pregnancy, something [Humphries] had nothing to do with, is perceived by [Kim] as an opportunity to gain a litigation advantage by trying to force this court to prematurely set this matter for trial."

And get this ... after the word "pregnancy" there's a footnote that reads, "Indeed, why would [Kim] plan to get pregnant in the midst of divorce proceedings?"

Translation -- Waller thinks Kim is putting a gun to his client's head, which is bizarre because the divorce has dragged on for well over a year for a marriage that lasted 72 days.

Waller says Kim shouldn't worry about the legal presumption that Kris is the father of Kim's kid because she got pregnant while they were still married -- Waller says Kris is happy to stipulate he's not the daddy.

Kris says in the docs he wants to be present for Kim's deposition and has a right to be there, but due to his work schedule he's unavailable until mid-May or June.

We're guessing the judge is going to lose patience at the trial setting conference and set the divorce trial for March.

Christina Aguilera finally figured out a way to get her ex-husband's lingering crap out of her life -- by putting the house up for sale.

Jordan Bratman -- whose marriage with Christina officially ended way back in 2011 -- showed up to Christina's Beverly Hills pad today with moving trucks ... to clear out the rest of his belongings ... now that Xtina listed the place for sale.

It's a glorious day for Christina, because as TMZ previously reported ... when she and Jordan first split he took his sweet time moving out. Fact is ... Christina and her lawyer put the heat on 2 years ago, and Jordan moved most -- but not all -- of his stuff out 2 years ago.

In fact ... months after the couple split Jordan, Xtina and her NEW boyfriend were all living in the family home as one big awkward family.

Paul Nassif -- Adrienne Maloof's soon-to-be ex-husband -- has sued the former couple's chef ... claiming the cook blackmailed and extorted him after falsely accusing Paul of being a wifebeater.

Paul alleges in his suit ... Bernie Guzman plastered photos of a bruised Adrienne on his Facebook page, with text that read in part, "Adrienne Maloof was pushed to the ground. Punched and beaten." Guzman also wrote, "Now you know who and what he [Paul] really is ... he is a beast." Paul says the claims of abuse are "outrageous and vicious lies."

As for the blackmail and extortion claims ... Paul says he sicked his lawyers on the chef, and Bernie texted back, "Stop harassing me...Have you forgotten I witnessed you beat your wife ... Kids & animals. I have plenty of pretty family photos ... Some not so pretty ... Stay away ..."

Paul believes the upshot of Bernie's text is that if Paul made an issue out of what Bernie said he'd release more damaging pics and allegations.

Paul is suing for unspecified damages.

Allen Iverson -- once considered the best player in the NBA -- is a terrible parent ... a horrible, irresponsible, pathetic excuse for a parent ... this according to an Atlanta family court judge.

Iverson just officially became a single man -- after the ATL judge signed off on his divorce from Tawanna Iverson ... the mother of his five children.

But in the final divorce decree, the judge UNLOADS on A.I. ... saying:

"[Iverson] does not know how to manage the children; has little interest in learning to manage the children and has actually, at times, been a hindrance to their spiritual and emotional growth and development.

For example, he has refused to attend to an obvious and serious alcohol problem, which has caused him to do inappropriate things in the presence of the children while impaired.

He has left the children alone without supervision. He has left his young daughters in a hotel room with men who are unknown to the mother."

The judge has awarded Tawanna legal and physical custody of the kids. Allen has some visitation rights ... but ONLY if he abides by certain conditions.

Among them ... Allen must NOT drink a drop of alcohol for the next 18 months. And there's more ... until all of his kids become adults [18+], he can't consume alcohol within 24 hours of the times he has the kids.

He's also been ordered to see a shrink and attend AA meetings for a year.

He definitely saw this coming ... but now Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has been hit with divorce papers from his estranged wife ... TMZ has learned.

Blank -- the BILLIONAIRE who co-founded Home Depot -- had previously announced he and Stephanie Blank separated in 2011 ... after 16 years of marriage.

Now, Stephanie -- the mother of Arthur's three children -- has pulled the trigger ... filing divorce docs in Fulton County, GA.

According to the papers, Stephanie claims the union has been "irretrievably broken" ... but the good news -- the two have already hammered out a settlement that covers money, custody and property.

The terms of the settlement are confidential -- but with Art reportedly worth $1.3 BILLION ... Stephanie stands to get some serious green.

As for the couple's three minor kids ... Stephanie says she and Art have put together a "comprehensive Parenting Plan" ... but the terms of the plan are also confidential.

Back when they split, the couple had released a joint statement saying they "remain great friends and are committed to working together to parent their three wonderful children."

First he was shot dead on "Sons of Anarchy," but now the guy who played Sheriff Vic Trammel on the show is facing the death of his real-life marriage ... TMZ has learned.

Glenn Plummer -- who you also might remember as Bobby Johnson in the kick-ass gangsta classic "South Central" -- has been hit with divorce papers by his wife of 12 years DeMonica Santiago-Plummer.

According to the docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, DeMonica is seeking full legal and physical custody of the couple's two children.

FYI -- DeMonica's kinda famous in her own right -- she was a member of Motown R&B group The Good Girls in the late 80s.

Troy Aikman's ex-wife is getting off with a slap on the wrist after cops say she was drunkenly hanging out in a Texas high school parking lot back in August ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story ... Rhonda Aikman was a stumby, wobbly mess when cops found her in a car at a high school in Murphy, TX on August 27. Officers say they also found two water bottles filled with a liquid that smelled like booze inside the vehicle.

During the arrest, Rhonda tried to guilt cops into letting her off the hook by dropping her ex-husband's name -- "Do you know what this is gonna do to him? Troy?"

She was eventually charged with public intoxication.

Today, Rhonda -- whose marriage to Troy ended back in 2011 -- agreed to plead "no contest" to the charge in exchange for 30 days probation ... after which the underlying charge will be dismissed (presuming she keeps her nose clean).

Mexican pop star Paulina Rubio was so determined to prove her husband's a bad father ... she hired a freaking private eye to track his every move -- TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, Rubio filed an emergency motion in Miami last month to strip estranged hubby Nicolas Vallejo-Nagera of all custody rights.

Rubio claims she hired a private investigator ... who exposed Nic as he "repeatedly demonstrated detrimental behavior and a lack of parental responsibility." This includes:

-- Taking the kid outside while he was sick (she asked him not to)
-- Refusing to change his diaper all day
-- Leaving him in his carriage totally unsupervised
-- Smoking around him again and again

Rubio claims Nic showed a "total disregard" for their son -- but according to the docs, they eventually struck a compromise in which Nic agreed to keep a nanny around while he watched the kid.

Paul Nassif is taking the high road -- rather than bashing his ex, Adrienne Maloof, for dating a much younger man ... he's just happy that she's happy.

Maloof has been seen all over town this past week with her new beau, Sean Stewart, who happens to be 20 years her junior.

But when we saw Nassif last night at RivaBella in West Hollywood, he acted like a perfect gentleman, saying, "As long as she's happy, that's all I care about."

As if his famous mom's divorce wasn't bad enough -- "High School Musical" star Chris Warren has now filed a lawsuit against BOTH his parents, accusing the pair of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars of his child acting money.

Warren filed the lawsuit against "Passions" actress Brook Kerr and Christopher Warren Sr., claiming they established a trust for him back in 2001 for all the money he made as a minor -- and have been secretly dipping into the kitty ... big time.

According to the lawsuit, Chris paid into the account for years, but when he decided to make a withdrawal back in 2011 -- as a 21-year-old -- his parents refused to grant him access.

When pressed, Chris claims his parents admitted they had blown through hundreds of thousands of dollars of his money on their own personal expenses ... but refused to say how much was left in the account.

Chris is now suing his parents for all the money back ... even though he's still not sure exactly how much they took.

Reminder: Chris' parents are currently embroiled in a nasty divorce.
