A Texan property tycoon embroiled in a fight over money with his Belarusian model ex-wife could go to jail if he does not pay her £50,000 in the next two weeks.
US-born Preston Haskell IV was ordered to shell out more than £5million to the mother of his three children, Alesia Vladimirovna Haskell, in early 2020.
The sum was expected to be paid in installments, but Mrs Haskell on Monday told a High Court judge that Mr Haskell had not paid money in breach of orders.
Mr Justice Moor ruled that Mr Haskell s failure to pay Mrs Haskell £50,000 in breach of another judge s order was in contempt of court.
A Belarusian model who claims her Texan tycoon ex-husband still owes her £5.7million is preparing for another round of their long-running High Court battle.
Alesia Vladimirovna Haskell, 40, began legal action against Preston Haskell IV, 54, in 2016 after their marriage collapsed due to his unfaithfulness and abuse of cocaine and alcohol , a top family judge said. US-born Mr Haskell was ordered to shell out about £5.7million to the mother of his three children, paid in installments, in early 2020.
Mr Haskell claimed at the time that he had nothing to give his ex-wife as he owed £55million to others - and was only getting by due to bail-outs from his super-rich father.
