'RHOC' Jennifer Pedranti And Her Ex-Husband's Fight Continues After Divorce

Jennifer Pedranti's divorce saga is not over yet, as she continues her battle with her ex-husband, William Pedranti, over financial matters.

Just after finalizing their divorce, the "Real Housewives of Orange County" star took a bold step by serving his legal papers, signaling that their conflicts were far from resolved. This conflict is not entirely new; back in July, she opened up about their rocky relationship, implying there were issues that still needed resolution.

As Jennifer Pedranti fights for what she believes is hers, it remains to be seen how this legal showdown will impact her post-divorce journey.

The reality TV star ramped up her legal battle against her estranged beau by enlisting a process server to hand him court documents at his Mission Viejo apartment.

The documents required him to appear in court on October 21 for a thorough examination of his financial status. This court-ordered financial scrutiny comes as part of the divorce proceedings overseen by the presiding judge, who emphasized the importance of William's attendance. 

The order also warned him of potential consequences, including contempt of court or even arrest, should he fail to appear for the hearing. Jennifer made it clear that she needed this vital information to facilitate the collection of a monetary judgment owed to her by William.

Jennifer's inquiry comes after her post-divorce battle with William, following their agreement on specific financial terms, including support for their children.

As In Touch revealed, William agreed to pay $4,674 per month in child support for their four children and an additional $1,735 per month in spousal support.  

As part of their split, William also consented to a $267,000 lump sum payment to equalize the division of assets and debts. The settlement also saw William walk away with $535,000 from the sale of their Ladera Ranch home, his bank accounts, and full ownership of his company.

Jennifer, meanwhile, retained her bank accounts and full control of her Devi Rebel Yoga business. However, William's spousal support payments are set to end if Jennifer remarries, which could soon be a reality as she became engaged to Ryan Boyajian in April. 

The TV personality is not just dealing with legal issues from her divorce—she is also caught in a heated feud with her "Real Housewives of Orange County" co-star, Tamra Judge.

The tension began when Tamra publicly criticized Jennifer's fiancé, Ryan Boyajian, after he made comments about Tamra's husband, Eddie Judge, on a podcast.

Adding fuel to the fire, Ryan reportedly hired an attorney to sue Tamra over remarks she made on "Watch What Happens Live." Jennifer took to Instagram to address the situation, accusing Tamra of dragging her beau's name through the mud for a year.

The mother-of-five pointed out that Tamra had no issues with Ryan before the cameras started rolling. "She has over a million followers and her own podcast and TRASHED Ryan regularly," Jennifer wrote, defending her fiancé's right to speak his truth. 

She also criticized Tamra's reaction, accusing her of shedding "crocodile tears" after years of trash-talking others. According to Jennifer, even Eddie tried to stop Tamra during one of her outbursts. "We just had to take the trash out so that could happen," Jennifer added, signaling an end to their friendship.

Even after her four-year-long divorce battle ended, Jennifer admitted that unresolved tensions continue to affect their post-divorce relationship.

During a candid interview, the 47-year-old reflected on the challenges she and William faced throughout their nearly two-decade-long marriage, which began in 2002. 

Though the legal process was over, Jennifer shared with Bravo that their communication remains nonexistent, adding strain to their co-parenting situation.

"[The divorce] took four years, you guys — long time. Unfortunately, I have no communication with my ex andso it's hard. I'm so grateful that it's finalized," Jennifer explained. She added:

"I know people think, 'OK, good. Here she goes.' There's still issues within it but we're finalized and it was a long time coming." 

After enduring a four-year divorce process, Jennifer Pedranti is ready to move forward with her life and her fiancé. She said as much in her interview with Housewives Nightcap, expressing excitement about the future now that her legal ties with ex-husband William are officially cut.

"You can't get married when you're still married," Jennifer joked, referencing her long-awaited divorce, which now clears the path for her upcoming wedding with Ryan, who proposed in April.

"The divorce kind of needed to happen before marrying Ryan could happen. We're both so happy," she explained, adding that the unresolved issues with William may have been preventing them all from fully healing. "Maybe now we can all move forward," she shared. 

Amid Jennifer Pedranti's ongoing financial disputes with her ex-husband, William Pedranti, her post-divorce life remains complicated. Whether these lingering issues will be resolved remains uncertain, but their outcome could determine when she can fully move on to the next chapter of her life.
