New legal developments have emerged in the ongoing saga between reality TV stars Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval. Ariana Madix, best known for her role in ‘Vanderpump Rules’, has filed a lawsuit against her former boyfriend, Tom Sandoval. The lawsuit, filed in L.A. Superior Court, revolves around the shared ownership of their Los Angeles home, where they both currently reside.
Key Takeaway
Ariana Madix has taken legal action against Tom Sandoval in a bid to force the sale of their shared Los Angeles home, signaling a significant development in their post-relationship dynamics.
The Legal Dispute
The crux of the legal dispute lies in the differing opinions on how to handle the shared property. Madix is pushing for a “partition by sale,” seeking a court order to mandate the sale of the house and the subsequent division of the proceeds. On the other hand, she opposes a “division in kind,” which would allow each party to retain ownership and potentially sell their respective share to a third party. Essentially, Madix is aiming for a clean break and a fresh start for both parties.
Background of the Property
The property in question, located in the San Fernando Valley, was purchased by the former couple in 2019 for approximately $2 million. Despite their highly publicized breakup following revelations of Sandoval’s affair with Rachel Leviss, both Madix and Sandoval have continued to cohabit the residence.
Potential Resolution
If Madix’s legal efforts prove successful, it could mark the end of their shared living arrangement and pave the way for a resolution regarding the property.
