Christina Haack has been ordered to pay her estranged husband Josh Hall part of the earnings from the sale of their $US4.5 million ($A6.9 million) Tennessee home.

According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, the reality TV star, 41, was ordered by a California judge – where the former couple’s divorce is taking place – to deposit the sum of $US150,000 ($A240,000).

“No later than five days after the close of the escrow, [Christina] is ordered to deposit $150,000 from the sale of the home into [Josh’s] counsel-client trust that is interest-bearing with restricted access,” the filing states.

According to the Daily Mail, a judge issued the order in October last year. The documents were filed earlier this month when Haack hired a new divorce lawyer.

The TV personality and Hall filed for divorce in July after less than three years of marriage.

Earlier this month, the HGTV star appeared on the show “Jeff Lewis Has Issues”, she confirmed her divorce isn’t settled yet.

“[We’re] not even close [to a settlement],” she said.

“We’re going to be going to trial, I hear. It’s going to be fun. Can’t wait.”

Haack further claimed that Hall “doesn’t want to do mediation” to settle the proceedings.

According to the mother-of-three, Hall has asked the court to force her to pay his legal fees, noting that she has not yet been “ordered” to do so, but that she has been supporting him financially.

“[The court hasn’t] ordered me yet, but he’s been asking me [for money],” she said.

“I’ve already had to give a little something, but then he bought a Bentley. I gave him money to live, and he bought a Bentley, but he also doesn’t have a job, so …”

In response to Haack’s interview, Hall’s spokesperson shared a comment on his behalf, quoting a Mariah Carey song.

“It’s sad Christina must resort to low bow about her ex Josh to promote her new show,” it read in part.

“She should focus on her new boyfriend and stop talking about Josh. As the great Mariah Carey once sang, ‘Why you so obsessed with me?’ We wish Christina the best.

“Christina knows nothing about Josh’s life, and it’s sad she keeps speculation. Her accusations are baseless.”

Since announcing their split last year, Haack and Hall’s divorce proceedings have gone from bad to worse.

Toward the end of 2024, Hall tried to block Haack from selling her $US4.5 million ($A6.9 million) farmhouse in Tennessee, where he had been living since moving out of their shared mansion in Newport Beach.

In court documents filed by Hall’s lawyers as part of a temporary emergency order to try to halt the sale of the home, he claimed that, while Haack bought the house before they married, the “paydown of the mortgage during marriage” entitles him to a say in what becomes of the dwelling.

“The community maintains an appreciation interest due to the paydown of the mortgage during marriage,” he writes.

“A premature sale may result in prejudice to me as property values continue to rise in Tennessee, which continues to grow in population.”

He further claimed that Haack had asked for his “written agreement” to sell the home on September 23 but insisted that he refused.

However, while the home was temporarily taken off the market, it has since been relisted with the same asking price.
