Rudy Giuliani blew off a Manhattan court hearing Friday where a judge said the former New York City mayor would be tossed behind bars if he doesnt fork over $225,000 plus lawyer fees to his ex-wife by early next month.
The ultimatum came at a hearing in the divorce case between Giuliani, 78, and former wife Judith Giuliani who claimed in a lawsuit hes fallen behind on payments totaling $262,000 owed under terms of their 2019 divorce settlement.
If the amount is not paid by that date, Im going to be forced unfortunately because its not something I want to do Im going to be forced to remand the defendant into custody, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Katz said at the hearing where Giuliani was a no-show.
The judge said he would enter a civil contempt order against Giuliani until the sum was paid.
There is no dispute that the judgment has not been complied with because the defendant admitted last time that he owes money, Katz said. He clearly has failed to meet his obligations.
The judge said since Giuliani did not appear in court or file evidence disputing Judiths claim, hed grant her request for a default judgment against Giuliani for $225,442 plus another $10,000 for attorney fees.

(52,172 posts)He admits owing the money and has not made any showing of either payment or inability to pay. In point of fact he didn't even show.

(15,190 posts)It just feels like he's getting thrown in the hoosegow for non-payment of a debt.

(22,191 posts)that gig of course.
Like tRUMP's newest lawyer, who demanded upfront payment first, rudi didn't and thus is left holding the bag (empty of course).

I would love too celebrate Rudy's impending incarceration though.
Oh yeah.
Hell, jail them all and I will risk blowing out my liver.
