Dorit Kemsley says her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, kept her largely unaware of the couple’s financial situation throughout their marriage and in the months that followed their separation.
The ongoing divorce dispute has placed the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s finances under the spotlight. In court filings, the 50-year-old accused 59-year-old PK of dismissing her questions about money and portraying her concerns as evidence that she did not trust him.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ on September 28, Dorit stated that PK “controlled the family finances.” She said that whenever she asked about their financial position, he viewed her questions as a challenge to his honesty. Eventually, Dorit said, she stopped pressing for answers and chose to rely on her husband instead.
Dorit also claimed that, after the pair separated in May 2024, PK assured her he would keep covering household expenses for the home she shares with their children, 12-year-old Jagger and 10-year-old Phoenix. That arrangement appeared to change in February 2026, when she learned the property’s gas service faced shutoff because of unpaid bills.

While Dorit acknowledged that PK ultimately made a payment to prevent the gas from being disconnected, she said he did not tell her he planned to stop handling the bills. As a result, she alleged that several payments fell behind and her credit score suffered.
PK has pushed back against Dorit’s claims, accusing her of making promises of her own and arguing that she should be contributing child support.
Earlier this month, an accountant for PK claimed in court papers obtained by TMZ that Dorit should pay him $581 per month for the children’s care. The filing reportedly listed PK’s monthly income at approximately $107,943. Dorit’s attorney, Ronald Richards, meanwhile, alleged that she earns roughly $2 million annually, or close to $166,000 per month.
The documents also stated that Dorit spent approximately $32,000 on family-related costs between January 2026 and August 2026. PK was said to have spent about $1.9 million from April 2024 through March 2026.
PK further denied ever agreeing to remain responsible for Dorit’s personal or household bills after leaving the former marital residence.
