Mary-Kate Olsen's 'emergency divorce' rejected by New York judge

Mary-Kate Olsen had recently appealed for an emergency divorce but this has now been rejected.

Yesterday, Manhattan judge Justice Michael Katz denied the request for a divorce claiming it wasn’t an “essential matter” as New York remains in lockdown.

Mary-Kate, 33, claimed that her ex-husband Olivier Sarkozy is evicting her from their shared New York apartment.

The Olsenboye fashion designer filed for an emergency divorce on Wednesday, claiming that Sarkozy was attempting to kick her out of their lavish pad by Monday, May 18th.

She had also requested an extension to the eviction given the circumstances of the state being in lockdown.

The blonde bombshell revealed that Sarkozy had terminated the lease on their home without her consent.

Olivier, the brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Mary-Kate had signed a prenuptial agreement ahead of their wedding, which she is also attempting to have enforced.

She is believed to be seeking the use of their home in Hampton’s, their East 49th Street apartment and for Olivier to continue to provide her with health and dental insurance.

In documents filed on Wednesday, Mary-Kate said: “I am petrified that my husband is trying to deprive me of the home we have lived in and if he is successful, I will not only lose my home but I risk losing my personal property as well.”

Mary-Kate had originally filed for divorce in April but faced difficulties when Manhattan courts closed down, only hearing urgent cases.

A spokesperson for New York Supreme Courts said: “Currently, we are only accepting essential/emergency matters for filing. The original filing was rejected by the New York County Clerk because they did not follow the essential matter procedure.

“They refiled under the essential matter procedure and the matter was referred to the ex-parte judge, a New York State Supreme Court judge.

“He determined that it is not an essential matter, so they can’t file anything at this point.”
