His ex-wife, Fabiana Owens, has revealed that Mel has not yet paid her the full amount of the divorce settlement. She added that he has only made a payment of $40,000 out of the $980,000 settlement amount. The former couple was together for almost two decades before they decided to part ways. After being in court for four years, the couple decided to settle their divorce.
The former couple purchased their marital home in 2008 for $840,000. To equalize the amount, the court ordered him to pay Fabiana $980,000 by February 28, 2025. Fabiana also added that Owens earns nearly $20,000 a month, excluding his fees from the Golden Bachelor season 2. She is a co-obligor on the loan, and she has revealed that her ex-husband is also a month behind on the mortgage. She also fears that this could have a negative impact on her. And that is why she has been requesting the court to force the sale of their former marital home.
