Giuliani avoids jail in dispute over payments to ex-wife

NEW YORK (AP) Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani beat a contempt order and avoided jail Monday in an ongoing dispute over money he owes to his third wife, Judith Giuliani, as part of a divorce settlement reached three years ago.
At a brief court hearing, Giuliani said he's making progress in paying the debt, though he and Judith remain far apart on how much he still owes for things like her country club memberships, condominium fees and health care.
Judge Michael Katz lifted the contempt order he issued after Giuliani missed a September court date. At the time, Judith Giuliani said the ex-mayor owed her more than $260,000. Katz had given Giuliani a final warning at a hearing a few weeks later, telling him the sheriff was on notice to come at a moments notice to jail him if he didnt pay up.
Giuliani, also known for his work as former President Donald Trumps personal lawyer, has since provided copies of $150,000 worth of checks he's written to Judith and said he paid another $45,000 on Sept. 9, Katz said.

He's waiting for Trumpy to pay him.

(9,221 posts)As far as the ringleaders are concerned, it seems like the whole justice system is waiting to see if Coup II: Electric Boogaloo is going to be a success or not. Don't want to be on the bad side of the Fourth Reich in case it's a thing, you know.

(9,998 posts)I get it though. Hope is perhaps the only thing that keeps people's spirits up around here. The belief that something bad will happen to a Piece Of Shit like him. That our pathetic "justice" system will hold him accountable for being the Sleezeball that he is.
Sadly, reality intervenes, and proves once again, that some people are Above The Law.

Bad news: His ex is equally vile, worthy of being turned into a pillar of salt in the desert.
