A judge ruled Tuesday in Pennsylvania that Jon Gosselin needs to return $180,000 to his joint bank account with estranged wife Kate, her lawyer says.

Kate has alleged that Jon left her just $1,345 in a joint account that originally had a balance of $230,000. She said on The View that she uses that account to pay the family's bills.
Kate's attorney Mark Momjian says in a statement: "The remaining sum of $55,000, which Ms. Gosselin used for household bills and expenses relating to the children, will be subject to further determination by the arbitrator at a later date."
Jon's attorney Mark Heller, however, asserts that Momjian's statement "mischaracterizes the facts and fails to address ... that there has been no determination or proof" that Kate spent the $55,000 on family expenses.
"Nor has there been a determination concerning the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Kate has failed to account for in violation of the arbitrator’s order," Heller says in a statement. "It may very well be determined that very substantial sums of money which Kate has failed to account for might have been misapplied and misused by Kate. As of now, Jon Gosselin chooses to give Kate the benefit of doubt, but we are all anxiously awaiting her compliance."

Jon, 32, has until the next hearing date, Oct. 26, to return the money or a judge can begin contempt proceedings against him, the site reports. Kate is also required to provide accounting of past expenses by the same date.

Kate says, "As difficult as this has been for me, I am pleased that the court has ruled fairly on behalf of myself and my children. Now that this matter has been ruled on, I look forward to returning to private arbitration, as we have agreed to do, to resolve any remaining issues."

Jon sure turned out to be one sorry trashy guy. This guy buys his girlfriend an expensive car and he already has a BMW, sports Mercedes and expensive motorcycle all of which his children do not fit in. How low can anyone go. Then he pulls the plug on the show so Kate cannot earn money and all along he is blowing it on taking his girlfriends to tropical islands and partying. And then the guys is ticked off cause she got money for writing a book. Well Jon its called "working" and "earning a living" not for you to play with and think its yours but then depending on Pa laws you may be entitled to half which you don't deserve. Kate needs to get that divorce fast and get you out of her life so she can start living it without dragging you around like the biggest baby out of 8. The guy could not stand to be tied down with kids and all the work and care involved which is why you saw him on tv in a stupor as Kate had to bark orders on what to do next cause he sure did not seem to care what was going on.
Jon bought his ho Hailey a Mercedes. He needs that money to keep girls interested because that's all he's got.
Lets be clear here no matter how we all feel about Kate, this guy STOLE MONEY from his own children something's wrong with that JON!!!
if Kate is claiming that she used the money on bills she's smart enough to have receipts and such. cause she might be a big b but she's not stupid. Jon on the other hand just took the money to take it and keep it from his wife. which is why the judge is making him give it back until an actual divorce settlement gives him the right to any of it
well she kate just better beable to prove what she has done with the money they are both ruthless people she pretends to be the loving mother and him buying brand new cars or anything else he wants to bad he only spent 80 bucks on cake why did they not show his big purchases they both are sicking me to death she better sharpen her pencle because she has some figuring to do and gettin her fingernails isnt money that being spent on the kids i dont see why she had to have such an expensive house those kids would love her if she lived in an old run down farm she and he are full of them selves the judge should make them both put back
Good in a way. Kate takes care of the kids most of the time I am guessing. He just has a girlfriend. They both still need to smarten up.
Jon's been lying from the beginning (...women). What's scary is, he can look someone straight in the face & outright LIE! He has been trashing his children's Mother for months. He is hurting his children by his vindictive, jealous (Kate is FAMOUS-Jon is INFAMOUS) ranting. He cares only about himself.
Jon did not have a leg to stand on in that Montgomery County (Norristown) Courthouse. The state of PA does not tolerate such behavior. Jon is wasting his money on legal fees instead of working out an agreement with Kate. I wish he was ordered to pay Kate's fees as well. He is not bright!
