Rudy Giuliani faces jail if he can’t pay ex-wife Judith Nathan $235K, says Manhattan judge — he skipped court hearing

Rudy Giuliani is looking at jail time if he fails to pay ex-wife Judith Nathan $235,000 next month, a Manhattan judge said Friday.

Judge Michael Katz’s order came after Giuliani, the ex-mayor and current Donald Trump consigliere, skipped a court hearing in a lawsuit Nathan filed over his failure to heed the terms of their December 2019 divorce settlement, court officials said.

Katz issued the order orally during the hearing Giuliani missed, a court official said.

Representatives for Giuliani and Nathan did not immediately return requests for comment.

At a hearing Sept. 8, Giuliani said he would pay Nathan what she is owed — but complained she didn’t file her paperwork properly.

“It’s literally about three or four payments that amount to $45,000, which I will obviously pay,” Giuliani told the Daily News at the time. “There was no reason for this because I would have paid them had she sent me a correct complaint.”

Giuliani himself has a poor track record of filing paperwork on time in the case. At the Sept. 8 hearing, he apologized to Katz for missing his deadlines.

“The only thing I can tell you is that, it’s not much of an excuse, but I’m being sued in 10 different cases,” Giuliani told the judge.

Among Giuliani’s other legal woes is a criminal probe in Georgia of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results there. Giuliani testified to a grand jury in Atlanta in August amid reports he has might face criminal charges in the case.

Giuliani and Nathan wed in 2003 at a Gracie Mansion ceremony performed by then-mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Their marriage hit the rocks over Giuliani’s reported affair with a doctor, and the pair filed for divorce in April 2018, after 15 years of marriage.

At a March 2019 court hearing, the couple and their lawyers argued over Giuliani’s purported failure to pay the nursing home bills for Nathan’s mother, Nathan’s appearance at a West Palm Beach golf club where she supposedly tried to take Giuliani’s photo — Nathan said that never happened — and Nathan’s alleged failure to disclose a bank account with $100 in it.

At the time, Giuliani and Nathan each claimed to have monthly budgets of over $230,000 and properties in the Hamptons, Manhattan and Florida.
