Christian Dumontet, Christine Quinn’s estranged husband, is seeking sole ownership of their once-joint home in Los Angeles.
He filed court documents obtained by Us Weekly, asking for control over the property in order to sell it and pay off the mortgage.
Money pit:
According to Christian, he wants to sell the house to “stop the ongoing financial loss associated with maintaining a non-income-producing asset.”
Christian said he purchased the residence months before he married Christine in 2019. Now, there’s a $3.5 million balance on his mortgage loan. He alleged the house has cost him $400,00 a year to maintain. “This is not sustainable. I require immediate court intervention to stop this financial hemorrhaging.”
Christian and Christine, who share a 4-year-old son named Christian, separated in 2024. He was ordered to move out of the house after the season 3 House of Villains personality was granted a temporary restraining order in March 2024. (ICYMI, Christian was arrested following an alleged domestic violence altercation, released on bond, and arrested hours later for breaking the TRO.)
Christian has since moved to France with his new girlfriend and their 12-month-old son and wants to sell the house to use the funds to cover his reported debt. In the filing, Christian stressed that neither he nor Christine lives in the house and it doesn’t generate any income.
“[Christine] has never made any financial contribution to the [home], whether toward the purchase price, mortgage payments, carrying costs, maintenance, or otherwise,” the filing reads. Allegedly, Christian is paying “exuberant costs to keep” the home that caused him “irreparable financial harm.”
Christian stated that Christine is “not on the hook” for any debt the house accumulates. “I alone am suffering this harm, and without court intervention, I will continue to,” he added.
His request for an emergency order was denied while the house went back on the market Saturday, April 18, for almost $7.5 million.
