Estranged husband PK Kemsley has accused TMZ of failing to renew their children’s passports while she travels in Europe. The dispute, filed in court documents this week, coincides with an escalating foreclosure battle over the couple’s $8 million Los Angeles mansion, which has been granted a new auction date of July 14, 2026.
Passport Disputes and Parenting Schedules
The latest legal filings from PK Kemsley reveal a breakdown in communication regarding the couple’s two children. According to TMZ, PK’s legal team sent an email on July 7 alleging that Dorit allowed the children’s passports to expire despite being aware of his intentions to take them to Europe this summer. The filing claims PK was left without a clear parenting schedule, travel dates, or information regarding the children’s care while Dorit remains abroad.
PK’s attorneys are now demanding confirmation on the status of the passport renewals and requesting details on when the children are expected to return. The documents suggest that while Dorit has been traveling in Europe, the children have been staying in Florida with her parents and their nanny, a situation that has left PK unable to coordinate his own plans with them.
Foreclosure Auction of the Encino Estate
Beyond the passport conflict, the financial status of the couple’s 6-bedroom, 10-bathroom Los Angeles-area estate remains dire. The property, which is reportedly valued at approximately $8 million, is currently overseen by trustee TD Specialists with Aldon Road LLC listed as the borrower.
PK has asserted that he has personally contributed $300K of his own funds to prevent the home from falling into foreclosure. He is now petitioning the court for sole authority to sell the property, arguing that Dorit’s focus on travel is hindering the sale. In his filing, PK alleges that Dorit has continued to prioritize luxury travel and designer clothing despite the family’s mounting financial obligations and her own income from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Public Birthday Celebrations in Paris
As the legal pressures mount, Dorit has been documented celebrating her 50th birthday in Paris. Images shared on social media showed the reality star at the upscale eatery Siena with Hermès executive Michael Coste.

Dorit’s legal representation has addressed the foreclosure situation briefly, indicating that a more detailed response would follow after other pending legal matters are resolved.
“As we have said, she will never sign a deal that forces her out of the house. The only way she will leave is if the second forecloses. Paul will find this out soon and be forced to make the hard choice of not advancing further funds to save a sinking ship without getting anything in return.”

Status of the Divorce Proceedings
The couple’s personal and financial separation has been a long-running narrative since they officially split in 2024. Following their separation, Dorit filed for divorce in 2025. While the court has yet to issue a ruling on PK’s request for sole authority over the mansion, the tension between the two continues to escalate in public filings. With no return date specified for the children and the property facing an immediate auction deadline, the court’s upcoming decisions remain the primary factor in how the Kemsleys’ financial crisis will be resolved.
