Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador’s ex-husband, David Beador, was recently served divorce papers by his current wife, Lesley Beador.
On Thursday, in court documents, obtained by In Touch, Lesley filed to end their nearly four-year marriage due to ‘irreconcilable differences’ on September 17.
Lesley, who was awarded a temporary restraining order for domestic violence against David last week, shares a three-year-old daughter, named Anna Love with David.
Lesley, 39, listed her date of separation from David, 58, as September 8.
She is seeking primary legal and physical custody of their little girl and has ‘proposed David be awarded visitation.’
While she is seeking spousal support, Lesley wants the court to ‘terminate David’s right to collect any support’ and for him to pay her ‘legal fees in the case.’
As for their community property, In Touch noted that Lesley said that ‘various community property assets, the full extent, nature and location are currently unknown at this time.’
In response to her Lesley’s petition, David challenged the the date of their split.
He claimed they broke up on September 17, not September 8 as she had listed.
He also wants joint legal and physical custody of their daughter and ‘Lesley be paid spousal support per the terms of their prenuptial agreement.’
Per, their prenup, he is willing to pay Lesley $10,000 a month.
He noted that their prenuptial agreement, which they both agreed to on October 9, 2020, ‘covers all assets and debts.’
David also requested the court have Lesley pay her own legal fees.
Lesley’s divorce petition was filed days after she received a temporary restraining order against David, who she accused of being verbally abusive and creating a ‘hostile environment for her and her children.’
Lesley shares her two eldest children with a man named Eriks.
On September 9, she claims David ‘stormed outside’ when her ex came to pick up their kids and yelled ‘obscenities’ at him.
‘All the children were present and witnesses [David’s] behavior toward Eriks. It was very scary. I recorded this whole incident and will provide the videos to the court,” Lesley said.
She continued: ‘After this incident I received about 59 harassing texts from [David] in a row telling me I was ‘having sex with him,’ ‘I should go have sex with him,’ and was accusing me of all kinds of things that could never be possible. [David] truly needs help. He gets in an obsessive mania state.’
David has vehemently denied his estranged wife’s abuse allegations.
‘Lesley routinely tells me I am abusive when I disagree with her or make my opinions known. She has a habit of texting me consistently for hours at a time, trying to spark a reaction out of me. I believe Lesley is angry because I cut off the unlimited spending ability on her credit cards over the weekend,’ he claimed.
He went on to accuse Lesley of trying to extort him and insisted ‘she is upset because’ he ‘cancelled her credit card with unlimited spending.’
‘I am not required to sustain her lifestyle,’ he stated. ‘Lesley will spin whatever story she needs to spin in the correct circumstance to get what she wants.’
A judge, ultimately, granted Lesley a temporary restraining order against David, which requires him to ‘stay 100 yards away and out of their home until a hearing next month.’
David was previously married to Shannon Beador between 2000 to 2019.
The pair share daughters Sophie, 22, and twins Stella and Adeline, 19.
In 2023, David previously filed for divorce from Lesley.
The former reality star cited celeb-favorite ‘irreconcilable differences’ for the reason behind the filing and interestingly listed the date of separation as September 15, which was same date as the divorce filing.
David and Lesley were married in October 2020 and welcomed their little girl just four months later.
After the initial court filing in September 2023, Lesley had claimed that she was filing for divorce after he had his dismissed, but hers was also dismissed eventually.
Then, in May 2023, the pair each filed for divorce again.
She filed for divorce on May 29 while he filed for divorce one day later on May 30.
