Amber Heard slams
Johnny Depp in court after
he REFUSES to make good
on their $6.8 million divorce
settlement because she wrote
an open letter about
domestic violence
Description:
FROM THE DAILY MAIL:
According to legal documents Johnny Depp is stalling because he's furious over public comments his former wife has made about domestic violence in recent weeks.
Heard's legal team is hitting back with a formal 'Request for Order' in the hope that it will force Depp's hand once and for all.
In the documents filed with Los Angeles Superior Court, Heard's lawyers have asked the judge to enforce the terms of the settlement - known in the legal world as 'Deal Point Memorandum'.
The filing states that the 'Request for Order' arises because: '...despite months of efforts and repeated breaches by Respondent (Depp), the parties have been unable to reach agreement on a stipulated from of judgment.'
The document also lays out what Depp has failed to do in the time allowed by the court, which includes:
- Not paying the first two installments of the 'equalization and legal fees payments' - known to amount to at least $6.8million.
- Not giving Heard a date and time for a walk through of the couple's 'main Sweetzer property' (a $10million, eight bedroom castle style home in West Hollywood) and 'storage facilities' to retrieve her personal property.
- Not transferring the title of a Range Rover.
- Failing to meet with Heard to discuss the division of 'furniture and furnishings' in two residential units they once occupied together, Including their downtown apartment.
Depp is furious that Heard has seemingly broken the terms of the settlement by speaking publicly about domestic violence - what he sees as a flagrant breach of the confidentiality clause agreed as part of the deal.
The legal document, signed by Heard's lawyers Pierce O'Donnell and Bernard M Resser, confirms this as an issue.
