Actress Drew Sidora is speaking out after a recent court order mandated she leave the Georgia home she shared with her estranged husband, Ralph Pittman. The ruling, which requires her to vacate the residence by May 31, has Sidora concerned about her financial ability to comply and the potential for her and her oldest son to become homeless.
A Plea for Reversal Amidst Divorce Drama
In a new court filing, Sidora has requested a judge reverse the order, stating she lacks the necessary ‘financial resources’ to find a new home by the deadline. She expressed that this situation could leave her and her 14-year-old son, Josiah, without a place to live. Sidora also alleged that Pittman, who reportedly earns three times her income, initially agreed to joint physical custody of their two younger children but then ‘shadily switched up’ his stance in court.
On X (formerly Twitter), Sidora shared an update on her divorce, emphasizing her commitment to co-parenting and prioritizing her children’s well-being. She stated, ‘While certain things are beyond my control, my focus remains on showing up every day as the best mother I can be.’ She aims to move forward with ‘grace, growth, and intention,’ focusing on healing and evolving.
Custody and Financial Arrangements
Court documents obtained by TMZ reveal that the judge ordered both Sidora and Pittman to continue splitting household expenses until her departure. Pittman, who currently resides in the home’s basement, is allowed upstairs to help the children prepare for school. He has not publicly commented on the ruling.
The couple is expected to share joint legal custody of their son Machai, 10, and daughter Aniya, 8. Pittman has been granted primary physical custody during the school year, with Sidora having parenting time on alternating weekends starting in August. A spokesperson for Sidora clarified that the current order is ‘temporary’ and does not represent the final outcome of the case, which is still being litigated.
Background of the Divorce
The divorce proceedings began in 2023 when Ralph Pittman filed for divorce after nearly a decade of marriage. Sidora later filed an amended complaint alleging serial cheating, mental and financial abuse, and an instance of physical aggression by Pittman. Pittman had previously released a statement asking for privacy as they navigated their ‘difficult time’ and focused on their children’s mindset and growth.
