Tim Leissner Files to Divorce Kimora Lee Simmons After 12 Years of Marriage

The petition seeks joint custody, spousal support from Simmons, a block on support for her, plus her payment of his legal fees.

Overview

  • Leissner filed in Los Angeles Superior Court in February 2026, citing irreconcilable differences after a yearslong separation reported by entertainment outlets.
  • He asks the court to order spousal support for himself, to bar Simmons from receiving support, and to require her to cover his attorney fees.
  • His petition requests joint legal and physical custody of their 11-year-old son, Wolfe Lee Leissner.
  • Leissner, a former Goldman Sachs banker, is serving a two-year federal sentence after a 2018 guilty plea tied to the 1MDB scandal, which included tens of millions of dollars in forfeitures announced by the Justice Department.
  • Media outlets published details of the filing this week based on court documents, and Simmons has not publicly commented.
