Jon and Kate Gosselin aren't the only ones haggling over their property ... we've confirmed a tax lien was slapped on the happy couple's Pennsylvania homestead to the tune of $2,691.75.
It seems the Gosselins had a water problem -- specifically, an unpaid "water tapping fee" for the home they have in Lancaster County. The fee is for tapping into the city water line.
The lien is not on the new house -- it's on the old one they still own, according to myfoxphilly.com.
It's been a long ride, but the derailed train known as "Jon & Kate Plus 8" is finally over.
Last night, TLC aired the final episode of the show ... and while it doesn't mean they'll be going into obscurity anytime soon, at least there's one less place to run into that possum haired mom and her d-bag ex.
Jon and Kate Gosselin may have a new player in the divorce. We've learned the lawyer who repped Jon Gosselin at the beginning of his divorce has just filed an emergency petition to intervene in the case .. and it's all over money.
Attorney Charles Meyer withdrew from the case in September, just before Mark Heller took over. Prior to his withdrawal, we're told there was an agreement with Jon that his lawyer's fees would be paid from Jon's share of the property distribution. We're told Jon owes Charles around $43,000 so Charles is asking the judge to make sure he gets paid before Jon gets his cut.
As we first reported, the divorce is coming in for a landing, and the arbitrator will decide within 30 days who gets what.
Jon Gosselin's finally going away ... from TLC -- and in one of the last clips from the series finale of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," Jon goes out sounding like more of a tool than ever.
During the show, which runs tonight at 9pm, the world's most irresponsible father of eight actually BRAGS about being able to get away from his family when the going gets tough.
Jon and Kate Gosselin'sdivorce is heading to a conclusion, after a contentious day Saturday at the arbitration table. We've learned even Jon isn't contesting that Kate should get primary custody and a decision on who gets what in the money department will be handed down within 30 days.
Sources tell us the two issues on the battlefield are the distribution of assets and child support. In Pennsylvania, the courts award "equitable" distribution when it comes to property, but that doesn't necessarily mean 50/50.
Sources tell us neither party asked for spousal support.
We're told Jon and Kate actually agreed to the amounts certain items were worth, but they were far apart on issues relating to how the assets should be distributed.
The arbitration was supposed to last two days -- today and Monday -- but it all got handled on Saturday.
Both Jon and Kate testified in the arbitration. The decision of the arbitration is binding on both of them.
Anyone asking for marriage advice from Jon Gosselin must be crazier than Kate's hairstylist, but yesterday at the airport in Hawaii, a photog did just that.
Our advice: Listen to what he has to say ... and just do the opposite.
Sources connected with the TLC/Jon Gosselin legal war tell TMZ ... TLC lawyers are watching lots of TV these days, keeping tabs on Jon's appearances so they can run a tab on how much money he's raking in.
TLC is going to court next month ... asking a judge for an order prohibiting the never-met-a-camera-I-didn't-like-provided-you-pay-me dad from doing appearances without TLC's prior approval.
TLC filed legal papers in support of the injunction on October 27, claiming Jon is breaching his "Jon & Kate Plus 8" contract.
According to the contract, Jon is prohibited from doing "any media including any online or print...without the Company's or Producer's prior written consent."
Jon might get in the Guinness Book for the number of times he's violated that clause.
Breaking up is hard to do -- but after taking a long, hard look at the D-Bag he's become, Jon Gosselin has finally decided to part ways with his hair gel, Michael Lohan and best of all, Ed Hardy.
Unfortunately it's all for a FunnyOrDie sketch, so we're guessing the rhinestoned tigers will be back.
When Michael Lohan returns home from his trip to Boston this weekend, he'll have a present waiting for him -- courtesy of the lawyers at TLC.
Lohan tells TMZ he has been subpoenaed to testify in TLC's breach of contract lawsuit against Jon Gosselin. Lohan says he was contacted by a process server on Friday. He says he told the process server he was out of town, but that he accepts the papers and that she can leave them at his house.
Michael says he hasn't seen the papers yet.
TLC is suing Gosselin, claiming he broke his deal with TLC when he began taking money to appear on other shows and talking about "Jon & Kate" without proper permission.
Like the drill sergeant of a pocket-size army, Kate Gosselin went off on 6 of her tiny troops yesterday when they refused to stand still and be quiet after getting off the school bus.
When one of her 5-year-olds rebelled with a few insubordinate dance moves, Kate was heard snapping "This is the kind of stuff you cannot be doing when you are five years old. Stand quietly ... Stop your feet and don't move them."
As an extra threat, Kate added "If I wasn't here you'd still be standing in the parking lot waiting."
So a rabbi and a d-bag walk into a building ... We got Jon and Rabbi Shmuley -- Michael Jackson's former "spiritual advisor" -- heading into New York City's West Side Jewish Center last night, where they held a public dialogue in an attempt to make Jon look like less of a scumbag.
Inside, Jon reportedly apologized to Kate -- who wasn't there -- for "openly having relationships in the public eye" after their split, adding "if she would've done that to me, I would have been extremely pissed off."
Mother Goose has officially been roped into the war between "Jon & Kate" -- because Jon Gosselin's attorney just busted out some lines from a nursery rhyme to insult Kate outside of today's hearing.
According to Jon's lawyer, Kate is "like the old lady who lived in a shoe" ... but really lives in a glass house or something.
Jon Gosselin may be on the hunt for a new lawyer soon, because we've learned the person who sponsored New York attorney Mark Heller to appear on Gosselin's behalf in Pennsylvania has formally made a motion with the court to withdraw his support.
Attorney Mike Marino filed his motion today, saying he wants to wash his hands of the whole case. Marino told us he had never had contact with Heller until Mr. Heller found him in a legal directory, cold called him and asked Marino to sponsor him for a one-time-only case -- Jon vs. Kate.
Marino says he had never heard of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" when he agreed to sponsor Heller. As Marino put it, "I don't watch that kind of junk on TV."
The judge will schedule a hearing on Marino's motion. We also learned Marino sent the judge a letter last week requesting out of the whole case.
If Heller doesn't find a new sponsor, he can't practice in PA.
The lien is not on the new house -- it's on the old one they still own, according to myfoxphilly.com.
