Michael Wainstein has asked the judge to give him custody of their two minor children, as he claims that Jules Wainstein is a drug user.
“Look no further than to watch TV than to see the bag of drugs she carries around.”
The judge explained that he does not decide cases based on television shows.
“I don’t decide my cases on what may or may not be on television. What proof do you have?”
Michael Wainstein says he will be subpoenaing the family nanny to testify to finding Jules passed out on the balcony, and that she left food on the stove for hours with the burners on. However, Judge Michael Katz is asking the Wainsteins to work out as much as they can between themselves, or else the children will suffer.
“At the end of the day, the two people that are going to be harmed are the kids.”
However, Michael Wainstein doesn’t seem to be backing off about accusations of drug use, and claims he is worried about the safety of Jagger and Rio, as Jules Wainstein doesn’t go anywhere without a bag of pills in her purse, says E Online . Michael Wainstein says that Jules has a history of drug abuse and other mental health issues. Jules Wainstein claims her only issue was an eating disorder.
Jules Wainstein is currently supposed to receive $10k a month in temporary support, and she claims her standard of living was harmed because Michael did not pay the couple’s taxes, and ignored many bills.
Do you think that the Wainsteins will be able to work out a deal between them, or will it go in front of the judge?
