Keshia Knight Pulliam’s ex, Ed Hartwell, will have to pay back more than $34,000 to his ex-wife for their daughter, Ella Grace Hartwell. A judge ruled in Keshia’s favor during a recent court hearing.
According to BOSSIP,
“A family court judge has found Ed Hartwell liable for deliberately failing to pay thousands in child support to his daughter with ex-wife Keshia Knight-Pulliam and withholding income information.”
Keshia Knight Pulliam asked a judge to put Ed Hartwell in jail over unpaid child support back in April. The veteran actress accused her ex-husband of intentionally failing to provide financial support for their daughter by hiding his assets.
Ed responded to the accusation by telling the court that he was caring for two other children currently residing with him. The judge, however, saw things Keshia’s way and ordered Hartwell to pay more than $6,500 by this week’s end along with more than $3,000 per month in child support going forward. Ed was also ordered to pay an additional $1,000 per month on top of his regular child support payments to satisfy the $34,000 worth of outstanding debt.
Ed Hartwell and Keshia Knight Pulliam were married for approximately two years before he filed for divorce. Keshia was heavily pregnant at the time her husband requested marriage dissolution.
Keshia Knight Pulliam gave birth to Ella Grace Hartwell on January 23, 2017. The little one is the veteran actress’ only child. Stay tuned for more celebrity om news!
