Simon is still behind bars but the divorce is moving forward...
From In Touch
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams’ estranged husband, Simon Guobadia, remains locked up in an ICE detention center and may be taken to an upcoming divorce hearing by federal agents, In Touch can exclusively report.
On May 1, the judge presiding over Porsha, 43, and Simon’s divorce battle set a hearing on the reality star’s plea to enforce the prenuptial agreement they signed before getting hitched.
A hearing on the motion was scheduled to take place on April 30. Porsha and her attorney appeared for the hearing, but Simon, 60, was “unable to appear due to his current detention by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
A couple of days before the hearing, Simon’s lawyer asked the court to postpone the matter due to the businessman being detained.
In the recent court order, the judge noted, “Counsels for [Simon] indicate that the ICE agency has advised that upon receiving a production order, arrangements will be made to transport [Simon] to physically appear in Court at the Fulton County courthouse.”
The judge granted Simon’s request for a continuance and set the matter for June 11. The order instructed Simon’s lawyer to draft a proposed production order, which would tell ICE to bring Simon to the upcoming hearing, for him to sign.
The court noted that if Simon is released from ICE custody prior to June 11 and is unable to physically attend the hearing in person, “[Simon] should provide this court with as much advance notice as possible to allow this court to make arrangements for the hearing to occur via remote proceedings, and the parties and counsel may attend the hearing remotely.”
A source close to Simon tells In Touch that the businessman remains locked up in an ICE detention center.
The source said he was expected to be released a couple of weeks ago but still has yet to be.
