REALITY TVRHOC Newbie Noella Bergener Files For Legal Separation From Lawyer Husband, Seeking Sole Custody Of Their Son
This housewife is already making waves! Real Housewives Of Orange County newcomer Noella Bergener has filed for legal separation from her husband James, who happens to be a personal injury lawyer. She is also seeking full custody of their son.
In documents obtained via Radar, the latest addition to the Bravo franchise had filed a petition in Orange County court on August 2. According to the docs, the date of marriage was listed as June 28, 2020 and the date of separation was “to be determined.” The up and coming reality star has cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for the dissolution of the marriage.
Bergener has also allegedly requested that her estranged husband only have visitation of their two-year-old little boy, James.
The reality television star is also reportedly asking that the head of the Sweet James law firm pay her monthly spousal support, as well as for the court to terminate his ability to request any support from her. She is also allegedly asking for him to pay her legal fees.
The reason cited in the legal documents is that, "the exact nature of the separate property asset and debts are unknown to the Petitioner at this time. Petitioner reserves the right to amend her petition once it is discovered."
