KATE Gosselin is demanding her ex-husband Jon pay over $132,000 in back child support in a new court filing after he claimed she stole cash from their eight children.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal Kate, 47, filed an adverse revival against Jon, 45, on September 7, meaning she is requesting the Pennsylvania court to force the payment of an old judgment.

The old judgment is child support in the amount of $132,875.
Kate first filed the judgment back in March 2018.
RadarOnline reported at the time that Jon tried to fight the judgment, calling Kate’s request “an inappropriate amount” of money in court papers.
Jon requested the court to strike the judgment, as Kate’s demand “prejudices the welfare and is against the best interest of the minor children.”
Kate filing to enforce the judgment now comes after Jon accused of her stealing $100,000 from their own children.
JON’S CLAIMS AGAINST KATE
Jon previously claimed to The U.S. Sun that Kate took more than $100,000 from bank accounts belonging to their eight children.
In never-before-seen court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun, Kate admitted she “borrowed” money from a trust fund in 2019 for her living costs.
She has custody of six of their children – sextuplets Leah, Alexis, Joel, Aaden, 18.

Their twins Mady and Cara are 21 and live primarily with her when not at their colleges.
Jon has Hannah and Collin, 18, in his custody.
He said he could not keep silent any longer about the missing cash – and demanded she pay back the money she owes to Hannah and Collin, as well as to the other kids, if she has not already.
He told The U.S. Sun: “It’s disgusting and it’s morally wrong.
“Parents are not supposed to withdraw any money from these accounts without permission and without drawing up paperwork that they will pay it back – but she has produced no paperwork and no payments have been made.
“You can’t just live off your kids’ money.”
‘SHE’S A HYPOCRITE’
He added: “It makes me feel disgusted. She has been on TV telling the world she has saved her children’ s money when she’s actually been stealing from them – she’s a hypocrite.
“There’s been no remorse from her at all. Now they’re 18 she thinks she can get away scot-free.”
The former TLC star said he noticed a large amount of money appeared to be missing from his kids Hannah and Collin’s trust accounts when he gained custody of the two children in 2018.
The former couple set up a trust account for the kids to keep their earnings from appearances and promotional activities safe until they turned 18.
The account gave the children tax breaks on their savings and any loan could only be made with permission and paperwork to pay it back.
KATE’S ADMISSION
When questioned in court the following year, Kate admitted she withdrew two lots of $50,000 from the kids’ trust, adding, “I will have to keep borrowing from it to survive,” according to bombshell court documents.
In the court filing, Kate claimed the assets were being used to “meet her and the children’s expenses.”
However, that same year Kate had purchased a $750,000 lakeside home in North Carolina with a swimming pool.
Jon stated Kate never paid the money back to the kids, according to the accounts he has for the children who were in his custody – Hannah and Collin.
Kate’s lawyer declined to comment when asked about the claims at the time.
In the testimony, which has never been reported on publicly, Kate also stated she had borrowed money from a corporation she jointly owned with the kids to furnish the new home.
This is despite her admitting in her court testimony that she was a “TV personality, author and registered nurse” who made $40,000 per episode for her TLC show Kate Plus Dates, which aired in the summer of 2018 for a six-episode season.
She also confirmed she had not worked in 2019 – other than finishing off some filming she had already been paid for – and was paying her bills with “a lot of hope and a lot of prayer” along with the “loan” from the kids’ trusts.
Kate’s attorney Richard J. Puleo responded to the claims in a statement to Us Weekly: “Kate’s integrity is impeccable. I can’t say the same for Jon Gosselin.
“He clearly owes her $132,875 in child support, not counting interest, from the day it was entered.”
Kate and Jon were involved in a nasty custody battle after they divorced in 2009 after 10 years of marriage.
