Her dishonesty is an affront to the interests of justice, and her pleadings should be stricken as a result and dismissal with prejudice should be entered.” Cevey, 48, and Collins, 71, were married from 1999 to 2007. She was then married to investment banker Charles Mejjati from 2008 to 2017, but reunited with Collins in 2015. They broke up again in 2020 and she married Thomas Bates; they have since split. Collins’ lawyers, led by noted Palm Beach divorce attorney Jeffrey Fisher, who is now representing Sylvester Stallone in his divorce from Jennifer Flavin — said in documents that, in a 2016 court filing, Cevey had claimed she was “mentally incapable” of understanding a divorce settlement with Mejjati but changed her tune in 2020. According to court papers, Cevey claimed that she went ahead with that divorce settlement voluntarily because Collins had promised her half of their shared Miami house if she split from Mejjati. <img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/632c359800680.jpg" alt="Phil Collins ex-wife lied under oath in $20M property fight - Court " class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 400px; height: 293px" /> Judge Fine wrote;  “That petition says nothing about her being ‘induced’ to sign a settlement agreement with her then-husband, nor any promises by the LLC or anyone acting on behalf of the LLC (i.e., Phil Collins).” Cevey was awarded $46 million upon her 2008 divorce from Collins at the time, a record in the UK. Judge Fine ended the order by writing that the court will reserve jurisdiction to determine claims for attorneys’ fees and costs.The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2022/9/phil-collins-ex-wife-lied-under-oath-in-20m-property-fight-court.html" target="_blank">Phil Collins ex-wife lied under oath in $20M property fight - Court </a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com" target="_blank">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.<a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2022/9/phil-collins-ex-wife-lied-under-oath-in-20m-property-fight-court.html" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></blockquote>
