In the ongoing legal battle between Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks and her ex-husband Apollo Nida, Phaedra has been warned not to sell the Atlanta mansion the couple once shared until the outcome of Apollo's divorce claim against her.
Apollo, 38, slapped his ex-wife with a lien against the 4,229 square foot, $1.3 million home, purchased solely by Phaedra for $845,000 in 2013, as well as the assets acquired during their marriage.
Phaedra, a 43-year-old attorney, initially filed for divorce last March, newly revealed court documents show.
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks has been warned by her ex-husband Apollo Nida not to sell off the Georgia mansion they once shared. Apollo filed divorce papers of his own in Georgia Court in December, claiming he never saw Phaedra's original documents and wasn't notified of the final divorce hearing

Apollo, who is currently serving an eight year prison sentence for financial fraud, failed to sign the papers.
A judge finally granted Phaedra the divorce in November, as well as an agreement that she will have primary custody of their two children: Ayden, six, and Dylan, three.
The judge also ordered that Phaedra pay $100,000 towards Apollo’s criminal restitution fine and that Apollo be awarded visitation time with his children once he is released from prison.
Both parties had already divided their own personal property, including their checking and saving accounts.

But Apollo filed divorce papers of his own in Georgia Court in December, claiming he never saw the original documents and wasn't notified of the final divorce hearing.
He is accusing his former wife of taking advantage of the fact that he was behind bars and demanding her divorce judgement be tossed out of court and found void.
He requested joint legal custody of their two kids and an equitable property split of the Georgia mansion, titled in Phaedra's name.
The reality star listed the month of separation as June 2014, stating that the marriage was 'irretrievably broken'.
Phaedra first filed for divorce in October 2013, but the process was delayed because of Apollo's criminal trial.
Despite Apollo's legal woes, his love life appears to be looking up.
Sherien Almufti, a realtor from Pennsylvania, has recently been revealed to be dating Apollo while he is behind bars

Before going to jail, he began dating another woman while separated from Phaedra.
The mystery woman's identity was recently revealed as Sherien Almufti, a realtor from Pennsylvania.
In December, Apollo even sent his new girlfriend a symbol of their relationship: a ring made out of prison toilet paper. Both lovebirds have posted photos on Instagram confirming their new love.
To rub fresh salt in the wound for Phaedra, it has been rumored that Sherien will also star in an upcoming episode of Real Housewives.
