Simon Guobadia is refusing to pay the $40,000-a-month spousal support a Georgia court ordered him to pay former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, leaving Williams covering more than $25,000 a month in mortgage costs alone on the couple’s $12 million Atlanta mansion.
In a public statement this week, Williams said she has been paying the mortgage on the marital home out of her own pocket since the split, despite a 2025 ruling that awarded her $40,000 in monthly alimony, partial control of the property, a Rolls-Royce, and a stake in the home tied to a prenuptial agreement the judge enforced in her favour.
The dispute centres on the $12 million Atlanta property. Williams maintains it is marital property under the prenup the court upheld; Guobadia, whose name remains on the deed, insists it is premarital and has consistently said Williams cannot sell the home or tap into its equity.
The court ruling
In June 2025, a Fulton County judge enforced the prenup signed before the couple’s November 2022 wedding and ordered Guobadia to pay Williams $40,000 a month for fourteen to fifteen months, hand over a Rolls-Royce, and cede partial control of the mansion. The order also gave Williams until 2027 to either refinance and buy out Guobadia’s share of the property or sell it.
Reality blogs reported at the time that the prenup outcome was a clear win for Williams, who had originally filed for divorce in February 2024. The reality is proving messier. Guobadia has not made a single alimony payment, according to Williams, and has indicated he has no intention of doing so.
$205,000 lien complicates the home sale
The home was hit with a separate $205,000 lien earlier in 2026, tied to legal bills Guobadia owes from the divorce proceedings. The lien further restricts Williams’s options for refinancing or selling, since any sale must clear the lien before Williams could buy Guobadia out.
Atlanta Black Star and other outlets reported that the lien was widely seen as another delay tactic that effectively traps Williams in a property she is paying for but cannot freely use.
The deportation factor
The dispute is further complicated by Guobadia’s status. The Nigerian-born businessman was deported from the United States in mid-2025 after immigration authorities moved against him during the divorce. From outside the United States, enforcement of the alimony order through US courts becomes substantially harder, and asset-recovery options narrow significantly.
Williams, who has remained in the United States and continued working through Bravo and other ventures since the split, has indicated she is reviewing all options to enforce the order, including motions for contempt and additional liens against any US-held Guobadia assets.
Background
Williams, 44, and Guobadia, 60, married in November 2022 in a high-profile ceremony that anchored a season of RHOA. The relationship had begun under controversy, as Guobadia was previously married to Falynn Pina, a fellow RHOA cast member at the time. Williams filed for divorce on 22 February 2024, citing irreconcilable differences.
The case has become one of the most visible reality-television divorce battles in recent years, in part because the prenup explicitly survived the court’s scrutiny — an unusually clear outcome in spousal-support disputes of this size — and in part because the financial terms have been visibly difficult to enforce in practice.
