Duane and Tisha Campbell-Martin divorce drama continues
One thing is for sure, marriage is hard and when you’re a celebrity it seems like it’s even more difficult.
For instance, Tisha Campbell-Martin and her estranged husband Duane are going through it. No, she said she thinks she has $10 million but isn’t completely positive in light of the fraud lawsuit against her ex-husband, Duane Martin.
Recently, Campbell-Martin submitted an income and expense declaration in her divorce proceedings. The declaration was obtained by The Blast and reportedly shows the actress earns $5,400 a month, although she claims it varies. She alleges Duane makes $62,000.
The star of the 90 hit sitcom “Martin,” said she has $10 million in real and personal property assets but currently has $10,000 in the bank, adding that “because of the unknown fraud, discovery is ongoing re assets.”
