Lisa Marie Presley says she’s broke after ex asks for money
NEW YORK — Lisa Marie Presley describes herself as deeply in debt and just out of a treatment facility in court papers that accuse her estranged fourth husband of having hundreds of inappropriate photographs of children on his computer.
Their 8-year-old twin daughters are under the care of California child protective services, according to documents filed this month with California Superior Court in Los Angeles related to husband Michael Lockwood’s request for spousal support. Lockwood has not been charged with anything and his lawyer said the accusations are inaccurate.
The court papers tell a tale of profligacy and alleged fraud that has made things messy for Presley, the 49-yearold only child of Elvis Presley and ex-wife of both Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.
It’s not clear why Presley’s daughters are in state custody; her lawyer did not immediately return a call for comment Saturday. She and Lockwood separated in June after 10 years of marriage.
Lockwood wants the court to order Presley to pay him $40,000 a month in spousal support and $100,000 in attorneys’ fees. He’s a musician who said he essentially gave up his career to work with his wife, who’s a singersongwriter.
