In 2017, Erika revealed during an appearance onAndy Cohen’s Then & Nowthat she and Tom, 81,do not have a prenuptial agreement in place.
“But let me tell you something, let me be very clear. I’m married to a very powerful lawyer,” she said of Tom, who worked on the landmark case that inspired the filmErin Brokovich.“A prenup wouldn’t stand in his way anyway. So it doesn’t matter whether you had one or you didn’t, it’s going to be all Tom’s way, I assure you. He’ll rip that piece of paper to shreds in two seconds!”
“Tom has resorted to embezzling the proceeds of settlements that should have been directed to his clients — including, as the basis for this Complaint, the widows and orphans who lost loved ones in the tragic crash of Lion Air Flight 610 — in order to continue funding his and Erika’s lavish Beverly Hills lifestyles,” the documents state.
Edelson PC and Erika declined to comment on the case, and Tom has not responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
