Drew Sidora, a cast member on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has alleged in court documents that her estranged husband Ralph Pittman earns three times more than her on a monthly basis. The revelation about their alleged income disparity was made as part of their ongoing divorce and custody dispute, which has resulted in Pittman being granted physical custody of their two children through the end of the school year.

Why it matters

The high-profile divorce case between Sidora and Pittman sheds light on the financial dynamics and power imbalances that can arise in celebrity relationships, especially when it comes to child custody battles. The case also highlights the challenges that some reality TV stars may face in maintaining financial stability and independence outside of their television roles.

The details

According to the court documents, Sidora claims she brings in a little over $12,000 monthly, while Pittman earns $71,000 monthly from his work in technology. Sidora has asked the judge to reconsider the decision to grant Pittman physical custody, stating that she has limited income and resources and doesn't have enough time to find a new place to live by the May 31 deadline set by the court. Sidora also alleges that she was blindsided in court by Pittman, claiming they had previously agreed to shared custody before he changed his mind.

• The new custody order grants Pittman physical custody through the end of the school year, while Sidora will have the children alternating weekends beginning in August.
