Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was hit with a $262,000 lawsuit by his ex-wife for allegedly withholding funds she was entitled to per the terms of their divorce.
The suit, filed Tuesday in the state Supreme Court, claims Rudy owes his ex, Judith Giuliani, money for their luxury Florida condo, housekeeper and private club fees.
She also alleged Rudy has been 'inconsistent and sporadic' with the payments he was making to her, noting that in June 2021 he wrote her a $10,000 check that was 'returned due to insufficient funds.'
Judith's lawyers have threatened that Rudy could face 'immediate arrest or imprisonment' for being in contempt of court.
The legal battle comes as Rudy was ordered to testify before a Georgia special grand jury probing the former President Donald Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Rudy's law license was suspended in both New York and Washington DC as he faces ethics charges over his false election claims. He was also sued by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.3 billion after claiming their voting machines were rigged.

Judith is demanding Rudy pay up the $262,000 he allegedly owes her 'immediately' and with interest, according to the court filing which was reviewed by Page Six.
She has accused her former husband of owing her $140,000 for expenses related to their Palm Beach condo.
The couple had listed the luxury property for $3.3 million in 2019, but it failed to sell.
Judith claims Rudy was 'required to pay me $200,000 regardless of whether or not the property has been sold.' She claims he has only given her $60,000 of the required amount.
The former mayor is also required to pay Judith $5,000 monthly to provide her with a housekeeper or assistant.
However, she claimed Rudy has 'made inconsistent and sporadic payments to me' since last summer and now owes $45,000 in back pay for the help.
She noted that one of his payments, a $10,000 check issued in June 2021, bounced.

The suit also noted that their divorce agreement requires both of them to front their own country club fees and Rudy has allegedly 'failed to pay his half of the annual club membership dues.'
'I had no choice but to pay his share of the dues,' Judith said of the $70,000 she allegedly paid on Rudy's behalf. 'In order to remain in good standing with the clubs.'
Her attorney claims Rudy is in contempt of court for failing to pay his ex-wife and say he could be jailed if the situation isn't rectified.
'Your failure to appear in court may result in immediate arrest or imprisonment for contempt of court,' the filing stated.
'She was involved in a protracted, high conflict divorce with Rudy. Judith was the one who initiated the settlement. She reached out to him without the lawyers and they met privately,' her lawyer Dror Bikel told the outlet.
