David Geffen’s Estranged Husband Drops Civil Suit, Shifts to Mediation

A dismissal without prejudice leaves the door open to refile should mediation fail.

Overview

  • Attorney Bryan Freedman says the financial dispute will proceed in mediation that is limited to community property and spousal support, according to TMZ.
  • TMZ reports Geffen has paid Armstrong $200,000 since their February split and is covering a $15,000 monthly rent.
  • The pair had no prenuptial agreement, and the 23‑month marriage could translate to roughly a year of spousal support under the framework described in the report.
  • Armstrong’s July filing alleged promises of lifelong financial support and the abandonment of his modeling career, but many of those broader claims will not be addressed in court‑ordered mediation.
  • Geffen is represented by Laura Wasser, and TMZ reports he has been retired for about 15 years with no community income.
