Tisha & Duane Martin’s Divorce Hearings Heat Up, She Claims He Hiding Vital Info
Initially, it seemed as if Tisha Campbell and Duane Martin would have one of the more quiet celebrity divorces. But as time progresses, it doesn’t look like the divorce proceedings will be going smoothly at all.
These two just can’t go their separate ways, because the money situation is so messy. From bankruptcy to hiding assets, there’s been a lot goin’ on lately. Now, it looks like both of them are fighting for spousal support – from each other. The interesting part about this argument is that both of them are pointing the finger at each other insisting either of them has the means to pay.
Pay Up, You Got That:
According to The Blast, the former “Martin” star is now seeking spousal support from her estranged husband. We all know, Duane has been sayin’ his money is a lil’ funny right now. For those who don’t know, Tisha and Duane filed bankruptcy to resolve their debt of more than $15 million. But despite the bankruptcy and other financial factors, Tisha adamantly insists Duane is full of it. In fact, she’s even accused him of hiding money. Now, she’s demanding spousal support and reportedly has a reason for doing so.
It has been reported that Tisha isn’t buying Duane’s claims about not being able to pay spousal support. He may not be in the acting game as strong as he once was but, according to Tisha, he still got that. Why? Well, there are a number of factors her legal team is hoping the judge considers.
Even though Duane has been laying low, Tisha believes he’s still generating approximately $62,000 a month. That’s not all.
She also claims he has more than a half of million dollars worth of shirts, alone. So, it looks like she wants her ex-husband’s shirt collection – which consists of more than 500 shirts worth an estimated $1,500 each – to be included in his assets.
Getting Messier:
The latest news follows a string of reports about Tisha and Duane’s financial fiasco. Back in February, Tisha took to social media to announce their split after 27 years of marriage. At the time, it just seemed like they’d decided quietly to go their separate ways.
She tweeted, “After 27 years of being together and 2 amazing children, it pains me to announce that I’ve filed for divorce. It’s an emotional time and I graciously ask for privacy for me, our children and the rest of our family.” @DUANEMARTIN_ said to me Best this morn “we are family FOREVER”

While the money issues appear to bring out the worse in the situation, all of the reports aren’t bad. For those who missed it, Tisha recently made a power move by buying back her acting rights amid the bankruptcy. Although it has been reported that she now has approximately $1.5 million in assets, she’s still seeking spousal support because she no longer has a steady monthly income.
Reports have suggested Tisha does generate about $7,000 a month, but it’s not nearly enough to cover the staggering cost of her monthly expenses of more than $35,000. Her legal team estimates Duane’s earnings nearly double the amount of her expenses.
With that and his assets, she thinks he has enough coming in to pay her. Earlier this year, Tisha accused Duane of hiding money during their marriage. So if that claim is true, not much has changed based on her latest filings.
