Jules Wainstein 'wants estranged husband Michael held in contempt of court after missing $10k support payments'

Jules Wainstein has reportedly asked a judge to find her estranged husband in contempt of court for not making $10,000 per month support payments.

The 35-year-old reality star filed court documents after estranged spouse Michael failed to make a court-ordered payment last month, according to an article on Friday by TMZ.

A source also claimed that Michael has not paid their children's tuition or the utility bills.

Jules and Michael have five-year-old Jagger and three-year-old Rio together.

A judge in New York last month ordered Michael to pay $10,000 per month as temporary spousal and child support during their divorce proceedings. 

The businessman however immediately challenged the ruling and claimed he couldn't afford the payments.

His lawyer told the judge Michael has no income and his credit cards had been frozen. 

Michael is the owner and founder of venture capitalist firm Private Capital Group.

His net worth previously had been reported as $25 million.

The judge ordered Michael's first payment to be made to Jules on September 30.

He could face additional fines if found in contempt of court.

Michael and Jules married in 2008 and he filed divorce papers against the reality star in July.

In August Jules obtained the restraining order against Michael after she called police to her apartment following a heated argument with the 44-year-old.

Around the same time it emerged Michael was planning on filing for full custody of both the former couple's kids. 

TMZ reported Michael was seeking an order limiting the 35-year-old to supervised visitations with their children claiming she is 'just too erratic' to care for them.

It was in contrast to comments Jules made on RHONY about how little her husband of eight years helped with their children.  

After last month's fight, the NYPD told E! News: 'When officers showed up they spoke to both parties and advised for each, if they felt threatened by the other, to file a restraining order.' 

There was no evidence of injury, and no arrests were made.

It wasn't the first time police have been called to their former home, in a split that has seen both side accuse the other of physical assault.

Michael filed divorce papers against the reality star on July 15. 

Jules joined the cast of The Real Housewives Of New York City for season eight that concluded last month.
