#4 She is a proud mother of one & A Big Spender.

Michael and Lisa Storie Avenatti had been married since 2011 and during their marriage, they welcomed a son, born in 2014. They share custody of their young child.

Lisa filed for divorce in November 2017; an Orange County Superior Court judge ordered Avenatti to pay Storie $31,981 per month in child support and $124,398 per month in spousal support, retroactive to January of this year; according to court records. Avenatti was also ordered again to pay Storie’s attorney and accounting fees.

In the divorce papers, it’s noted her monthly expenses include tens of thousands of dollars for restaurants, shopping, entertainment, gifts, housekeepers, laundry and $12,000 for nannies for the couple’s young son.

He paid child support, but no spousal support nor did he paid for her attorney’s fees; Avenatti claimed Lisa has access to a number of assets as well as a community bank account containing $900,000. Lisa refutes his claim.

“I filed for divorce in November 2017,” she said.

“From November 2017 to May 2018, Michael did not pay any form of support. There was and is no joint account with $900,000. The number is absolutely absurd. I did have personal savings that I used to support us.”

#5 She accused him of Being a Dead Beat Dad!

In March 2019, Lisa accused her ex of not only failing to pay $146k in child support for their four-year-old son but also stopping payments on his healthcare plan.

“Michael was partying with Bill Clinton last week, he regularly hob-knobs with celebrities and the wealthy and jets all over the country, but he still refuses to pay to support his four-year-old son. He’s nothing but a dead beat dad. He’s a fraud and a liar.”

“To see him standing next to young victims of abuse and representing children at the border, championing their cause, makes me sick when he doesn’t care about his own child. It’s callous. What kind of person does that?”

Avenatti has denied Lisa’s accusations.

“There is not a single court order showing that I owe her anything more than she has already received,” he said.

“I have paid over $331,000 in the last 12 months in child support alone for a 4-year-old. $331,000! I have also paid millions more in spousal support.”

“This was a short term marriage and Lisa is trying to ensure she doesn’t have to work again because she is unable to cope with her addiction;” he claimed without further elaboration. “I hope she gets the help she needs.”
