Jesse Williams<\/a><\/strong>‘ divorce battle wages on two years later. <\/p>\n

The Grey’s Anatomy<\/em> star originally filed for divorce from his wife<\/a> of nearly five years, Aryn Drake-Lee<\/strong>, back in April 2017. However, it seems the split is far from legally over because Drake-Lee’s lawyers recently filed a request for attorney’s fees in Los Angeles court. <\/p>\n

According to the court documents obtained by E! News and filed on April 2, Drake-Lee has requested the court order the actor to pay $100,000 to her lawyer and $110,000 for the forensic accounting in this case.<\/p>\n

Back in June 2018, the court had ordered Williams to pay $160,000 in fees, including $69,000 for his ex’s attorney and $91,000 for the forensic accountant, bringing the actor’s total payment toward Drake-Lee’s attorney and accountant fees to $270,000 at the time. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“These sums have been dissipated, and in order to prepare for trial 23 and for my part, responding to Petitioner’s appeal, additional fees are required,” Drake-Lee’s attorney said in his declaration in the most recent documents. <\/p>\n

At an hourly rate of $700, her attorney estimated his expected costs and remaining balance will amount to $97,699 and has requested $100,000 “or a sum according to proof.” Drake-Lee’s forensic accountant declared a $21,320 balance and estimated $75,000 to 125,000 in additional accounting fees through trial for the $110,000 requested. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The former couple share a 3-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter. Last June, Williams was ordered to pay $50,629 in child support<\/a> a month and had been ordered earlier that year to increase his spousal support for Drake-Lee to $50,695 per month<\/a>. <\/p>\n

E! News has reached out to Williams’ rep for comment. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
