Ioan and Alice formally divorced in July last year. But they are still fighting fiercely over spousal support, custody and financial support for their two daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11.
During the September 9 hearing, Judge Josh Freeman Stinn signed an agreement in which Ioan will pay $3,000 per month temporary child support and $1,500 per month temporary spousal support until another hearing on February 13, where a more permanent support arrangement will be made.
Ioan plans to call his fiancée Bianca Wallace as a witness at February’s hearing to testify that his ex-wife “stalked, harassed and abused” her, repeatedly breaching a three-year domestic violence ban (DVRO) she and Ioan had set up. in August 2022, following a “smear campaign” of hateful text messages, emails and social media posts from her.

The actor filed for divorce in March 2021, shortly after Alice announced on social media that her husband of 14 years was leaving her and their two daughters.
The bitter war took a bizarre turn in October when Alice accused her ex of “fraternizing” with a female lawyer during an appearance at a Los Angeles courthouse.
It started when Alice, 56, was temporarily ejected from the courtroom on September 9 for taking photos inside – apparently of Ioan – which is strictly against court rules and could have landed her with a contempt charge.
But Alice then insisted in new court documents found by DailyMail.com that she did not take photos of her 50-year-old ex, but that she photographed a female lawyer in court named Andrea Burkhart.
Alice claims that Burkhart is “fraternizing” with Ioan, has “said horrible things about me” and “refers to me as ‘Malice’ instead of ‘Alice’ in her Twitter posts.”
