Marry petitioned a New York court for an emergency divorce from estranged husband Olivier Sarkozy. On Thursday, a Manhattan judge denied Mary-Kate Olsen’s request, ruling it wasn’t an essential matter. The former Full House star had claimed her 50-year-old husband is kicking her out of the apartment. They share in the city, giving her only until Monday to find a new home amid the coronavirus lockdown.
She explained that Sarkozy, whom she married in 2015, had terminated the lease on their shared house without her consent. In her petition filed Wednesday, Mary-Kate stated “I am petrified that my husband is trying to deprive me of the home. We have lived in and if he is successful, I will not only lose my home but I risk losing my personal property as well”.
In her divorce papers, Mary-Kate asked the court to uphold the terms of the prenup she and Sarkozy signed. She is seeking the continued use of their home in the Hamptons home. Their apartment in New York’s Gramercy neighborhood and an apartment on East 49th Street apartment in the city. She is also requesting that her ex continue to provide her with health and dental insurance.
