David Geffen Accused of Withholding Financial Disclosures in Contentious Divorce

The new filing comes after Donovan Michaels dismissed his separate civil suit without prejudice to pursue financial issues in mediation.

Overview

  • Donovan Michaels alleges in newly filed court papers that David Geffen is refusing to provide required financial documents to limit potential spousal support.
  • Michaels argues he is being unfairly outspent, likens the dispute to a lopsided fight, and seeks full disclosure to move the case forward.
  • He challenges Geffen’s effort to retroactively credit reported payments — $200,000 in cash, $15,000 in monthly rent, and nearly $200,000 for rehab — against support obligations.
  • Geffen has claimed Michaels holds about $5 million in art, jewelry, and watches purchased for him, according to filings reported by TMZ.
  • Michaels dropped his July civil lawsuit without prejudice last week, with his lawyer saying financial conflicts will go to mediation; the pair married in March 2023, separated in February 2025, filed for divorce in May, and have no prenup.
