Overview
- Kurt Iswarienko filed on Jan. 14 in Los Angeles Superior Court arguing the divorce settlement was brought in the wrong forum and that the court lacks jurisdiction after Doherty’s death.
- He also seeks to block enforcement by asserting trustee Christopher Cortazzo has not shown authority under the trust to act as successor in interest.
- The estate’s Nov. 24 petition alleges Iswarienko refused to list the $1.5 million Dripping Springs, Texas home for sale despite a judgment requiring the property be sold and proceeds split equally.
- Court filings say he withheld $50,274 owed after an August 2024 hangar sale, and he was to pay $100,000 to buy out Doherty’s share of a Mooney M‑20 aircraft within five business days.
- The settlement required an inventory and copies of photographs created during the marriage with a right for Doherty to half of licensing and syndication fees, which the estate says he has not provided or honored.
