Kelli Ferrell, reality star from Real Housewives of Atlanta, is back in the news, but this time it’s about more than just drama on the screen. She’s taking her ex-husband, Mark Ferrell, to court, claiming he’s behind on his child support payments. Kelli alleges that Mark has failed to pay his $3,991 monthly obligation for January and February, racking up a hefty total of $7,982.
Kelli, who has custody of their three children, argues that Mark is fully capable of making the payments but is choosing not to. The situation is a classic back-and-forth, with Kelli asserting that these unpaid funds are placing undue stress on their kids. Mark hasn’t responded yet, but he does state through his representative that he’s been trying to communicate about his financial struggles and his desire to remain active in his children’s lives.
As their legal battle continues, it’s no surprise that the drama between these two is thick enough to cut with a knife. Will Kelli’s fight bring stability for her kids, or just shake up the reality TV scene even more?
