Michael Wainstein Takes Jules Back To Court Requesting Child Support Reduction

March 28, 2017 by tamaratattles 17 Comments

It’s been a while since we checked in with Jules Wainstein’s legal battles with her estranged husband Michael as their divorce proceedings continue to play out in the Manhattan Supreme Court. Last we heard, Michael was supposed to pay $10,000 a month in child support, the rent and utilities where Jules lives with the children, their private school tuition and the utilities.  Last January he was behind  $20,000 in child support, $33,900 for tuition and $34,190 for back rent and utilities.

The couple was in court today because Michael continues to request a reduction in child support. It seemed that Michael had caught up on child support and tuition, it was unclear if the rent was up to date. It was clear that the electricity in the children’s apartment had been shut off. Oddly, Morghan Richardson, Michael’s attorney was the person to bring this information to the judge’s attention. It is odd because Michael is responsible for paying the bill. He waited until it was cut off before he went to work out a payment plan.

Richardson also brought up recent purchases made by Jules. It appears that just before today’s hearing, Michael got around to paying Jules $25,000 from the sale of a car and $12,000 to get caught up on child support. According to Page Six, Richardson brought up today that Jules is spending money on “Amazon orders, food from Seamless, shoes from Zappos, and deliveries from the online app Postmasters.” Um, I’ve never seen Louboutins at Zappos, and how does she know the items were not for the kids?


Richardson asked that her client’s Child support be decreased from $10,000 to  $2,500 because “The amounts that he’s paid the defendant in just the last few months eclipse his annual income.” The thing with that is he pays himself because he owns the business. It’s the same business that supported the family before he ran off with the side piece. We can assume he is generating similar amounts of revenue to that time period.

Jules’ lawyer, Allan Mayefsky thinks that Michael is hiding money, a claim that has been ongoing. He told the judge, “There’s a lot of machinations going on here.” Last time they were in court, Michael was taking trips to Florida and hosting large Shabbat dinners in upscale locations while claiming to be broke in court.

Meanwhile, Mayefsky outed Jules salary for RHONY in court claiming Jules made “just” $60,000 for her single season and her Modern Alkeme brand has not generated income for her at all despite the Whole Foods deal. I’ve been telling you that Bravo has finally wised up when it comes to housewives salaries. New hires have not been paid the astronomical salaries for the last two or three years. Veteran housewives still get raises in line with what they have always received. As for Modern Alkeme, her product is only in a few select stores and is new, so it’s quite understandable that her revenue does not yet offset her expenses.

In other rich people who don’t file taxes news, Page Six reports that the couple didn’t file taxes from 2008 through 2015. WTF?

Court observers seem to feel that the judge. who said in open court, “The picture of him being someone rolling in money is not emerging,”  was leaning toward a reduction in support.

If you think that Bethenny Frankel might be a compassionate friend to Jules in this situation you’d be wrong. Bethenny has repeatedly claimed that Jules came on to RHONY to get divorce.

      Not filing and not paying are two different things. We have filed late many times. However as long as you send in an extension form with an estimated payment of what you actually owe they tend to be OK with waiting for your actual return. 2008 is a long time ago though…and I’d recommend not waiting too long, they will come looking for the documentation eventually.

    wow, sad, this is rich people problem. I am still shocked over the salary Jules made at RHONY after all the emotional anguish & unnecessary exposure. The salary itself is a slap on the face.

    He’s a trash bag. I liked Jules, and she seemed like a good mother.

    Seriously, I don’t know what my number would be, but I would not agree to humiliate myself on national tv for 60k.

    I have a special hatred for men who trash their families while living high on the hog with mistresses (even if they are overextending themselves financially), they disgust me, so I hope he gets what’s coming to him and Jules gets every dollar she can. I wasn’t even a big fan of Jules, but this is bullshit and he is garbage.

      I am sure Jules was looking at leveraging the show into profits for her company. It was a smart move for her to do the show, get sympathy, and start a business. She needs to focus on that now. Throw that that little tadpole back in the scummy pond.

    What a douchebag. Too bad this won’t play out this season. If he is hurting for money to pay bills, can’t he just sell that horrible home in the Hamptons?

    I hope the lawyers for Jules pointed out to the judge that Jules is half Asian and half Jewish.

    It doesn’t matter what she spent her money on, he has to pay his share of the cost of living for the children. He’s trying to bully her into giving up and just paying all the bills herself, while he cooks his books to make it look like he’s broke so he can keep spending it all on himself and the latest ho-bag. I’m almost surprised that he hasn’t tried to get full custody just to avoid paying anything, but then I remember how little interest he had in the kids when they were still all living together.

    The second pic of Michael in this article kills me. Whatever is slightly above his head in the pic makes it look like he has a little pony tail up top in a point! I think it makes him look like the samurai warrior on Saturday Night Live. I just aged myself with that comment *sigh*. I get a chuckle whenever I see that particular picture of him. He’s such a stingy prick. I was not fond of Jules on the show but could tolerate her. I always thought Michael was a douche bag.
