'It's laughable!' Amber Heard's lawyer hits out after Johnny Depp demands $100,000 from his ex as nasty divorce continues

Looks like the financial aspects of their contentious divorce won't be wound up before Christmas.

Johnny Depp's legal team has filed new court documents demanding Amber pay him $100,000 in sanctions, according to E! News on Thursday.

The papers allege that Amber 'continues to needlessly litigate a case which has been settled, all while parading in front of the media in a desperate attempt to extend her 15 minutes of fame.'

Still feuding: Johnny Depp, pictured with his now ex-wife Amber Heard in Los Angeles in January, has filed court papers demanding $100,000 in sanctions against her 

If the 30-year-old fails to pay Johnny's attorney's fees and costs as sanctions, the 53-year-old wants the money deducted from his next equalization payment.

Amber's attorney, Pierce O'Donnell, called The Pirates Of The Caribbean star's request 'laughable.'

'It is just another lame attempt by Mr. Depp and his team to not pay my client the money she is owed.

Rocking out in Japan in November: The new documents filed by Johnny's legal team allege that Amber 'continues to needlessly litigate a case which has been settled, all while parading in front of the media in a desperate attempt to extend her 15 minutes of fame'

'We look forward to prevailing in court - and to getting sick children and women in need the money that Mr. Depp is denying them.'

The divorce was settled in August, when Johnny agreed to a $7 million settlement, which Amber requested be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union and Children's Hospital Of Los Angeles.

But last week Amber's legal team filed a Request For Order with the Los Angeles Superior Court in hopes of imposing the settlement and expediting Johnny's payment.

Out and about: The new legal fracas comes after the 30-year-old - pictured at an event in October, left, and  Glamour Woman Of The Year in November, both in LA - filed a demand for the payment he owes her amongst other things

They claimed that Johnny had not complied with the court-allocated timeline of various mandates, including the division of personal property, shipping her belongings from his private island in the Bahamas, transferring a Range Rover into Amber's name and more.

The new documents stated: 'Amber wants to maintain the media's attention and thereby preserve her own fleeting relevance, and Amber wants to secure a more favorable deal than she previously negotiated.'

The couple, who met on the set of movie The Rum Diary in 2011, married on February 2015. She filed for divorce 15 months later, on May 23, amid claims that the Hollywood star had physically abused her.
