Porsha Williams‘ ex, Simon Guobadia, is locked up in an ICE detention center and may be taken to an upcoming divorce hearing by federal agents, according to reports from In Touch.
What to expect:
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s plea to enforce the prenuptial agreement they signed before getting hitched was acknowledged by the court.
“A hearing on the motion was scheduled to take place on April 30. Porsha and her attorney appeared for the hearing, but Simon was ‘unable to appear due to his current detention by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.’”
Good news for Simon:
Simon’s request for a continuance was granted and scheduled for June 11. “The order instructed Simon’s lawyer to draft a proposed production order. That would tell ICE to bring Simon to the upcoming hearing, for him to sign.”
Simon’s lawyer argued, “The motion to enforce the Prenuptial Agreement is a substantive motion. It requires findings of fact by this Court. The outcome of the motion will also have a substantial effect on how the remainder of the divorce case proceeds. It may be dispositive of some of the issues and result in litigation on others.”
“Counsels for [Simon] indicate that the ICE agency has advised that upon receiving a production order, arrangements will be made to transport [Simon] to physically appear in Court at the Fulton County courthouse.”
If Simon is released from ICE custody before June 11, “He should provide this court with as much advance notice as possible. This allows this court to make arrangements for the hearing to occur via remote proceedings. The parties and counsel may attend the hearing remotely.”
A source close to Simon tells In Touch that the businessman remains locked up in an ICE detention center. Additionally, the insider said he was expected to be released a couple of weeks ago. He’s still detained.a
