The Dorit & PK Kemsley Divorce: Every Court Document, Every Number, Every Date
A $6.5 million home. A suspended LLC. A memoir called Unburdened. And a paper trail that tells a very different story than the one Dorit has been telling on camera. Here is how we got here — document by document.
Before we get to the documents, a quick explanation for anyone who has not been following this story obsessively since May. Dorit and PK Kemsley separated in May 2024 after ten years of marriage. Dorit filed for divorce in April 2025. They share two children — Jagger, 12, and Phoenix, 10 — and a $6.5 million home in Encino, California, that Dorit has continued to live in since the split. The home is not owned by Dorit personally. It is owned by a company called ADLON ROAD LLC — a legal entity that exists specifically to hold the property. Dorit owns the LLC. Which means Dorit is responsible for the LLC's obligations. Which includes the mortgage. Which has not been paid.
That is the foundation of everything that follows. Everything else — the court filings, the bank statements, the foreclosure notices, the suspended LLC, the postponements — flows from that single fact. The mortgage on the house Dorit lives in has not been paid. And the paper trail that has been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court over the past two months tells the story of exactly what has been paid instead.
First, the numbers. Because the numbers are where this story actually lives.
PK's legal team hired a forensic accountant — Joseph S. Sweeney — to go through both parties' finances for the past 26 months. His declaration was filed in court. What it shows is not a couple who both struggled financially after a difficult separation. What it shows is a very specific pattern. Here it is.
Over 26 months, Dorit earned more than PK. She spent 74.78% of her available funds on herself — $2,661,538 total, averaging $102,367 per month. She spent 9.52% on the family. PK spent 48.82% on himself and 55.16% on the family — including the mortgages, domestic help, the children's costs, and the former marital home he no longer lives in. He also makes slightly less than she does. These are not PK's claims. These are sworn declarations filed by a forensic accountant in a court of law. Dorit's response to the $1 million clothing figure, delivered to ExtraTV: "No." She then confirmed she does spend "a lot" on fashion. The court has the receipts. Literally.
Then the full ledger. Which is worse.
The side-by-side percentages are damaging enough. But the actual bank statements — subpoenaed by PK's legal team as part of mandatory financial disclosure — go further. They show exactly where Dorit's money went, line by line, between July 2025 and January 2026. That is a seven-month window. During which the mortgage was not paid.
Total income for the period: $1,418,203. Dorit's personal expenses: $615,841. Of that, $507,413 went to retail — described in the court filing as "clothes, bags, jewelry, etc." Travel: $53,435. Food: $46,191. Chase credit card payments: $76,500. Family expenses for the same period: $5,654. The mortgage: not in Dorit's column. When Dorit found out PK had subpoenaed her bank statements, she texted him: "Where are you getting those reports of my expenditure?" He replied that they were legally obtained as part of the divorce proceeding. This exchange is also filed in evidence. She did not see the subpoena coming. The subpoena saw everything.
The text that confirms she didn't see it coming.
Among the documents filed in evidence is a text exchange between Dorit and PK. It is short. It is devastating. It is also, at this point, public court record.
Dorit: "Where are you getting those reports of my expenditure?" PK: "Dorit, I have your bank statements. They were legally requested as part of a financial disclosure subpoena." In a divorce proceeding, both parties are required by law to disclose their finances. This is not optional. It is not a surprise. Dorit's own lawyer later noted she had been "clueless on discovery in a divorce." She has been in this divorce since April 2025. Discovery is standard. The bank statements are not.
The most serious document in the file. Full stop.
While the financial documents tell one story, PK's sworn declaration filed on May 12 tells another. He accuses Dorit of enlisting their daughter — a child — to send text messages to PK requesting money for Dorit's personal expenses. Including a trip Dorit wanted to take. The daughter's opening text: "Daddy do you want us to have a fun spring break?" PK's declaration states she was "clearly distraught." The texts are filed as Exhibit D. Children's names are redacted.
PK's declaration states: "Petitioner enlisted our daughter to send text messages to me requesting money for Petitioner's personal expenses, including a trip that she wanted to take with the children. Our daughter was clearly distraught and expressed that I should pay for their trip over Spring Vacation given that her mother pays for 'everything'. Her inappropriate conduct places the children in the middle of a contentious financial dispute and is deeply troubling." These are sworn statements. Filed in court. Under oath. The children are 12 and 10.
Now here is where it gets legally complicated — and much worse.
Remember ADLON ROAD LLC — the company that owns the house? Here is what you need to understand about LLCs in California. A company that is not in good standing with the Franchise Tax Board — meaning it has unpaid taxes or fees — gets suspended. A suspended company cannot legally act. It cannot sign contracts. It cannot go to court. It cannot file for bankruptcy. It cannot stop a foreclosure. Now look at what the California Franchise Tax Board sent to Adlon Road LLC.
Box number 2 is checked: "The entity is not in good standing with the Franchise Tax Board." This means the LLC that owns the house cannot legally do anything to stop the foreclosure. It cannot file for bankruptcy — the only remaining legal option — because a suspended entity cannot file anything. To fix this, all outstanding taxes and penalties must be paid, and the process takes days to weeks. The house goes to auction on a date that is now approaching. The LLC that owns it is legally paralyzed. Dorit owns the LLC. As Richards put it simply: "House cannot file a suit."
The auction is officially set. The clock is ticking.
With the LLC suspended and the mortgage unpaid, the lender moves forward. A Trustee Sale notice is filed. This is the official legal document that sets the auction date for the property. Once this is filed, the house is heading to auction unless someone pays what is owed — or files for bankruptcy to halt the process. The LLC cannot file for bankruptcy. PK has no legal obligation to pay. And Dorit is still in the house.
Trustee Sale #959296. Property: Encino, CA, Los Angeles County. Executed by: ADLON ROAD LLC. Date of Sale: May 20, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Location: Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA. There are two lienholders. The second lienholder — the one holding this sale — will not sell the note at a discount and will not issue a new loan. There is no equity left to leverage. The only legal option is bankruptcy. The LLC cannot file for bankruptcy. May 20 is ten days away.
Six days before the auction. Nothing has changed.
With six days until the May 20 auction, the second lienholder has still not moved the sale date. The LLC is still suspended. The bankruptcy option is still legally unavailable. Richards goes public with an update that offers no comfort: there is no path left. Everything that could have been done has not been done. The house is six days from auction.
Richards states publicly: "Dorit Kemsley's house is six days away from the foreclosure. The second has not moved the sale date. According to our own sources, they will not sell the note at a discount, nor will they do a new loan. There is no way to take out a second with the little equity that remains. Dorit must file a BK with her entity to stop this." The entity is suspended. It cannot file a BK. The house is six days from auction. Dorit is still in it.
PK rides in. Again. For children he no longer lives with.
May 20 arrives. The auction does not happen. The reason: PK Kemsley — the man Dorit has accused of "torturing" her, the man whose character she has been systematically dismantling on national television for two seasons — makes last-minute payments he has absolutely no legal obligation to make. The sale is postponed. Richards confirms it publicly. He also notes what this means financially for PK.
Richards: "Paul had no legal obligation to help Dorit but he did it for the benefit of his kids and to save Dorit from herself." He also notes that the money PK paid "will never be recovered or repaid by Dorit." The new auction date is June 3, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Dorit remains in the house. Her memoir — Unburdened: Moving On, Letting Go & Putting It All on the Table — is two weeks from publication. She narrated the audiobook herself.
June 3. The book is out. The house is not saved.
June 2: Dorit's memoir Unburdened goes on sale. June 3: the auction is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. These two dates are not a coincidence engineered by us. They are simply what happened. The memoir is on shelves. The house is heading to auction. And then — for the third time — something intervenes.
The June 3 auction does not happen. The Trustee Sale notes confirm: "Sale postponed from 6/3/26 to 6/9/26." This is the third postponement. PK has now intervened at least twice to prevent the auction of a house he does not live in, owned by an LLC in Dorit's name, on a mortgage she has not paid. The next auction date is June 9, 2026. That is also the date of Summer House Reunion Part 3. We did not plan this. Neither did Dorit.
The warning signs were there. They were always there.
None of this happened overnight. The documents above are the end of a story that started years before any court filing. Here is the part nobody wants to say out loud: the financial chaos surrounding Dorit and PK Kemsley is not a product of their divorce. The divorce simply removed the last structure that was containing it.
Start with PK. Before he met Dorit, he had already been sued by a bank for missing mortgage payments on a Florida property. He settled a $3.6 million debt with the Bellagio casino in 2022. He was arrested for suspicion of DUI in 2021. He filed for bankruptcy before the marriage. These are not secrets — they are public record. This is the man Dorit married, defended on camera for ten seasons, and is now characterizing as her financial tormentor. Both things can be true.
Then there is the house itself. The Encino mansion was purchased in August 2019 for $6.5 million — financed through an unusual number of unconventional lenders. Not a standard bank mortgage. Multiple private lenders, each with their own terms, their own interest rates, and their own patience levels. In 2021, the house was burglarized while Dorit was home. Traumatic. Real. Also: still mortgaged to multiple private lenders who expected to be paid.
The separation came in May 2024. Dorit stayed in the house. PK left. And somewhere between May 2024 and October 2024 — within five months of the separation — the mortgage payments stopped. A notice of default was filed against the property on October 16, 2024. Four months of missed payments. The IRS, separately, had a $1 million tax claim against the couple. Dorit also had an unpaid debt of $8,556 to a closet reorganization company. For a closet she may not be able to keep.
By January 2026, two lenders — Tanka LLC and Private Money Solutions — filed a default notice for $842,376 in outstanding payments. Dorit had made no payment on these loans since September 2025. A second lender, Prime Recon LLC, filed its own default notice in December 2025 for over $5 million plus $294,321 in missed payments and penalties. The LLC that owns the house was meanwhile accumulating unpaid franchise taxes until it was suspended by the California Franchise Tax Board — meaning it could no longer legally act to protect the property it owned.
And during all of this — between September 2025 and January 2026, the period of heaviest default — Dorit spent $507,413 on clothes, bags, and jewelry. The ledger is above. It does not look good. It has not looked good for a long time. The difference between then and now is that the court documents are public, the numbers are sworn, and June 9 is the next date on the calendar.
Here is what the documents show, taken together. A woman who earned $3.56 million over two years spent 74.78% of it on herself and 9.52% on her family, while the mortgage on the house she lives in went unpaid. The company that owns that house was suspended by the tax board — meaning it cannot legally act to stop the foreclosure. The only man with any legal or financial ability to intervene is the one she has been characterizing as her oppressor on national television. He has intervened twice. The money is gone. The next date is June 9. And somewhere in all of this, a twelve-year-old sent her father a text about spring break because her mother asked her to. That is the document that matters most. The rest is paperwork.
