Walmart Heiress' Ex She's a Cheater ... Divorce Is a Cover Up!
10:35 AM PT -- Paige's peeps are calling Patrick's allegation of infidelity ... fabricated, baseless, pathetic and desperate -- and claim he's only trying to "grab as much money as possible."
Walmart heiress Paige Laurie Dubbert's ex is slamming back at her, calling her a cheater who is using the divorce and a B.S. lawsuit to distract attention away from an affair, TMZ has learned.
Patrick Bode Dubbert says he accused Paige of cheating last year -- according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ -- and then Paige filed for divorce on Mar. 7 ... and also sued Patrick for ripping her off through a business he was running out of Malibu.
Paige claimed Patrick was paying himself $250K a year plus $70K/month in contracting fees for him and his buddy.
In his docs, Patrick says his biz is legit ... and Paige's accusation is simply a smokescreen to deflect attention from the failed marriage, and "spin an image of Paige to the media as a victim."
And Patrick adds ... she's got enough of mommy's Walmart fortune to do just that.

Kevin was set off by an interview Torrei Hart did bashing Kevin's GF Eniko Parrish ... saying she wanted to knock her out for breaking up her marriage to Kevin.
In his response, Hart tweeted Parrish had nothing to do with his divorce and said he was disappointed Torrei slammed Eniko because he has "embraced the man that she is dealing with with nothing but positivity."
Well, not all positive ... Kevin got in this jab -- "Guess giving a woman over 20k a month and still being there for her and being a incredible father isn't enough!"
Kevin's rant went on and on until this awesome punchline -- "P.S. I was listening to "Drake's" album while I was tweeting all that stuff...lmfao That s*** made me emotional lmfao."

Sherri Shepherd's Ex She's the Mom From Hell Our 9-Year-Old Can't Even Tie His Shoes
Sherri Shepherd is a terrible mom who woefully neglects her 9-year-old special needs son -- he can barely write, reads at a 2nd-grade level, and can't tie his shoes -- so claims the boy's father, who's now gunning to rip custody from "The View" host.
Jeffrey Tarpley -- Sherri's ex-husband -- filed an emergency request in April to modify the couple's current custody arrangement ... specifically, Tarpley wants full physical custody of their son, Jeffrey Jr.
Tarpley claims Sherri's non-stop work schedule -- "The View," "The Newlywed Game," various TV acting roles, book tours, films -- has caused her to neglect their son completely.
Jeffrey claims Sherri regularly leaves their son with "unskilled nannies" ... as a result, he's falling way behind in school, suffers from low self-esteem, and has to use Velcro shoes because he can't tie laces.
It doesn't end there ... Jeffrey says Sherri also hasn't taught their son how to properly care for himself, so hygiene has become an issue.
Jeffrey says he desperately wants to help, but his hands are tied because he lives in California and Sherri lives with their son in Jersey. He says he has no time during his short visits to undo all of Sherri's bad parenting ... so he wants Jeffrey Jr. with him full time.
Sherri filed her own docs in response, claiming Jeffrey's an absentee dad who deserves no part in his son's life. The judge denied Jeffrey's emergency request, but set a hearing in July to settle the beef.
FYI, Jeffrey filed his papers BEFORE Sherri's current husband Lamar Sally filed for separation. As we reported, Lamar wants custody of his and Sherri's unborn child ... so Jeffrey's arguments could hurt her on both fronts.

Gwyneth Paltrow Still Living With Chris Martin
Gwyneth Paltrow is still "consciously coupling" with hubby Chris Martin ... or at least they are still living together ... this according to new legal docs.
The living arrangement came up in connection with a restraining order Gwyneth just got against a crazed fan who has been terrorizing her for years ... even entering her home.
In the docs granting the 3-year restraining order ... Chris Martin is named as one of the people protected.
Gwyneth famously posted on her Goop website that she was ending her marriage to Chris.
So ... in the restraining order, someone hand-wrote next to Chris' name, "Lives w/ [Gwyneth]."
It would appear the divorce isn't bitter, if Chris is still living in the family house.

Sherri Shepherd Sorry Chump I'm Keeping Our Unborn Kid
THE BATTLE IS ON -- Sherri Shepherd will FIGHT her estranged husband tooth and nail to get CUSTODY of their unborn child ... this according to prenup docs obtained by TMZ.
Sherri filed divorce docs earlier this month, days after hubby Lamar Sally filed his own docs for legal separation where he asked for full custody of their unborn child, who is being carried to term via surrogate. The baby is due in July.
Sherri strangely doesn't even mention custody in her divorce docs, but DOES ask to enforce their prenup ... and now we know the prenup is Sherri's secret custody weapon.
Under the prenup, Lamar agrees that the new kid will live with Sherri and her son Jeffrey from a previous relationship. So the prenup gives Sherri full physical custody of the new baby.
In Lamar's legal docs, he's asking the judge to throw out the prenup on grounds of fraud. If he gets the prenup invalidated, that clears the way for his demand for full custody. But proving fraud is hard.
By the way ... there's another reason Lamar wants to invalidate the prenup. It only gives him one lump sum payment of $60K. According to the prenup docs, Sherri raked in $1 million in 2010 (and we know she got raises since then). By contrast, Lamar made $30K in 2010, and $9,000 was from unemployment. So if the prenup goes out the window, Lamar could score big in spousal support.

A judge will decide whether the kid stays or goes.
