In a dramatic turn of events, the once-idyllic marriage between Christina Haack (née Haack), star of HGTV, and Josh Hall has descended into a bitter financial feud. After filing for divorce earlier this month, Christina has accused Josh of diverting funds from their shared assets, further escalating the already heated separation.

According to court documents obtained by ET, Christina alleged that Josh attempted to siphon $35,000 from her rental property income by contacting her property manager. The alleged incident occurred on July 8, just one day after the couple's divorce filing. Christina discovered this transaction on July 21 and submitted a screenshot of the text as evidence in her filing with the Orange County Superior Court in California.

Seeking justice, Christina has requested that a judge order Josh to return the diverted funds. In addition to the financial disputes, she is also locked in a legal battle with him over their shared Newport Beach residence. She claims that the funds used to purchase the home came from the sale of her previous residence in Dana Point, adding another layer of complexity to their ongoing divorce proceedings.

The financial disagreements are not the only issues fueling the contentious split. Court filings reveal that Christina alleges Josh's attorney demanded she preserve electronic evidence. As a result, she disconnected the home's security cameras to prevent data overwriting. However, she claims that Josh has repeatedly reconnected the cameras, potentially compromising critical evidence.

The couple, who were married for nearly three years, is facing a challenging legal battle over their assets as they did not have a prenuptial agreement. Josh is seeking spousal support from Christina and aims to terminate her rights to alimony. In an unexpected twist, he also seeks exclusive rights to any HGTV or Discovery Network shows produced during their marriage, potentially eyeing a share of the reality TV fortune.

Amidst the divorce proceedings, Josh is making it clear that he intends to keep his assets separate. He has petitioned the court to ensure that any property or belongings owned by each party before their marriage remain individual property. The question of whether they acquired any joint properties during their marriage remains unanswered, but Josh is steadfast in protecting what he believes is rightfully his.

While child support and custody are not factors in their divorce, sources suggest that tensions are still running high between Christina and Josh. It is worth mentioning that although Christina filed for divorce, her paperwork is yet to be processed.

The rapid deterioration of Christina Haack and Josh Hall's relationship is striking, particularly when compared to their affectionate public displays just last year. In a heartfelt tribute on his birthday, Christina expressed her deep appreciation for Josh through a series of ten enchanting social media slides, featuring pictures of their loving moments together.

As the divorce proceedings continue to unfold, the once-celebrated romance between Christina Haack and Josh Hall has transformed into a battleground of financial disputes, leaving both parties facing a challenging road ahead in dividing their shared assets.
