Lisa Marie Presley Files for Divorce Empty
PostSubject: Lisa Marie Presley Files for Divorce   Lisa Marie Presley Files for Divorce EmptyWed Jun 29, 2016 6:18 am

Lisa Marie Presley has filed for divorce ... TMZ has learned.

Elvis' 48-year-old daughter wants full custody of the couple's twin 7-year-old daughters. She wants to give her musician hubby, Michael Lockwood, visitation, but only monitored.

Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ they had a postnup ... the divorce docs say nothing about any division of property.

Lisa Marie cites irreconcilable differences for the divorce and she lists the date of separation as June 13th. One source made it clear, "She doesn't want any of his money."

She is not asking for any spousal support or child support.

The couple married in 2006.

Divorce Disaster! Desperate Lisa Marie Presley Moving Back To Graceland

She's coming home! Lisa Marie Presley's nasty divorce has driven her to the only real home she ever knew: Graceland.

Devastated Lisa Marie, 48, is so heartbroken over the collapse of her marriage to Michael Lockwood that she is moving back into her childhood home, Graceland, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. Pals say Elvis Presley's only child told them she is heading home to Tennessee to spend time thinking about what she should do after her fourth marriage imploded and the divorce quickly turned nasty.

And while she had "sworn off men," insiders say she intends to pour her energies into rebuilding her fortune and her dead father's legacy. Sources say Lisa Marie plans to take better care of her father's estate to ensure her $700 million fortune stays intact, on the heels of her claims that her estranged husband, Lockwood, 55, may have blown through a shocking amount of her money during their 10-year marriage.

Meanwhile, friends said Lisa Marie also feared her dad's beloved Memphis mansion could end up in bankruptcy. "Graceland has fallen on hard times and is in serious danger of having to be shut down," claimed an insider. "Visitor attendance has slipped in recent years and the fear is that unless something drastic is done, business will fall off to the point that the gates will be padlocked." Elvis' iconic home saw a four percent drop in attendance from 2009 to 2010.

Pals say Lisa Marie, who has her own singing career, thought she could gain inspiration if she moved back to the hallowed ground where her father created the music that made him the "King of Rock 'n' Roll." Although thousands of tourists traipse through the downstairs rooms, the family quarters are strictly off-limits. They haven't changed in over 30 years, and the familiarity could be good for Lisa as her life has shifted following her latest split.

"Lisa Marie has spent so much of her life trying to flee from her past. At one point, she and husband Michael moved to a quiet English village where she served locals fish and chips so that she could feel 'normal,'" said a source. But pals said her failed marriage finally made her realize who she was — the daughter of rock 'n' roll royalty — and nothing can change that, so she will now embrace it.

In 2012, Lisa Marie laid the groundwork to go home when she made a pilgrimage back to her childhood home. Walking through the doors with her twin daughters, she cried hysterically as memories came flooding back. In an interview she said, "I walked in with my twins (Harper and Finley, now 7), looked around, and I gasped. I couldn't tell if I was going to laugh or cry."

Insiders said Lisa Marie thinks it could be time to get back on the right track after failed marriages to Danny Keough (father of her children Danielle Riley, now 27, and Benjamin, 23), fellow superstar Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage for just 108 days.

Since filing for divorce from Michael on June 24, 2016, Lisa Marie told pals she had to make a move. And although she owns homes in L.A., Tennessee and England, she learned a valuable lesson.

"She may have lived all around the world, but she's finally realized there's no place like home," said a friend.

Mommy Dearest? Addict Lisa Marie Faces Devastating Double Loss — Of Her Twins

Star gears up for bitter custody war with estranged hubby over their twin girls.

Posted Image

RadarOnline.com has learned that Lisa Marie Presley could lose her twin girls over her booze and drug addictions.

According to insiders, Presley’s estranged fourth husband, Michael Lockwood, will seek full custody of Elvis‘ 7-year-old granddaughters Harper and Finley.

“At Lisa’s request, child protective services was brought in to monitor the situation right after she and Michael split,” a family insider told Radar.

“Now she regrets that decision because the social worker put her under a microscope and based on a negative evaluation, Lisa was sent to rehab.”

As Radar reported, just weeks after Presley, 48, filed for divorce in June, she checked into The Hills Treatment Center in Los Angeles to beat addictions to alcohol, painkillers and other drugs.

“Michael is now lawyering up to get full custody of their girls,” said the insider.

“Even if Lisa Marie gets clean, Michael will argue that she’s often a disinterested and absentee parent.”

When the couple was living in Franklin, Tenn., Lockwood took on most of the parenting duties while Presley was distant, said the source.

Priscilla Presley Reveals Granddaughters Have Been Living with Her for 9 Months Amid Lisa Marie's Messy Divorce


Priscilla Presley is speaking out about her daughter Lisa Marie‘s contentious divorce from musician Michael Lockwood — and the well-being of the former couple’s daughters, 8-year-old twin girls, Finley and Harper Lockwood.

The ex-wife of Elvis Presley previously disclosed the twins were living with her after news broke that disturbing photos of children were allegedly found on a computer belonging to Lockwood, 55. Priscilla now reveals in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that the girls have been in her care for over nine months.

“It’s still a very family-oriented environment for them,” Priscilla, 71, shared. “They’ve been with me for — it’ll be over nine months. They’re great. They’re doing wonderful. They’re living a great life. They see both their parents, and we’ll see what happens.”


In response to Lisa Marie’s assertions in court documents that she was millions of dollars in debt despite receiving a monthly check for $100,000 from her father’s estate, Priscilla said that it was a private matter.

“This is very personal, and we’re still going through a lot of different scenarios,” Priscilla said. “There’s been a lot of rumors, a lot of speculation, and a lot of everything which always goes along with these situations.”

She continued, “Nothing is sorted out yet. Everything is trying to be sorted out, and done with dignity and done with care, especially for the children.”


In court papers filed last month as part of an ugly divorce dispute, Lisa Marie said that the couple’s daughters were taken from their custody and alleged that Lockwood is the subject of criminal investigations involving hundreds of inappropriate photos of children that she claims authorities found on his electronic devices.

She said in the filings she was left “shocked and horrified and sick to my stomach” at the alleged discovery.

The West Hollywood Police Department confirmed that authorities served a search warrant related to the Presley family. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed it is investigating Lockwood, but agents have found no evidence of a crime and have not opened a case.

Lockwood’s lawyer, Jeff Sturman, rejects the claims – stating that Presley’s filing does not accurately reflect the situation. “Mr. Lockwood and his lawyers believe that it is very unfortunate and inappropriate that Ms. Presley chose to file a one-sided, inaccurate version of the facts in the Family Law Court’s publicly accessible files,” he told PEOPLE in a statement. “Ms. Presley and her lawyers undoubtedly knew that their highly sensational, inaccurate and unproven claims would be of great interest to the media, which would disseminate Ms. Presley’s inaccurate story as a result.”

The actress-singer squared off in court with estranged husband Michael Lockwood last week, where a judge ordered Presley to pay $50,000 of Lockwood’s attorney fees at the rate of $10,000 per month, a source familiar with the situation previously told PEOPLE.

The exes’ legal teams also battled over Lockwood’s request for spousal support, which the judge did not grant at that time.

Presley and Lockwood, her fourth husband, married in 2006 and welcomed their twin daughters in 2008 before the Graceland successor filed for divorce in June, citing irreconcilable differences and claiming Lockwood was a poor father and “took advantage” of her financially.

The pair are next due in court March 17.

Lisa Marie's Drug-Fueled Obsession With Ex Husband Michael Jackson Exposed

Drug-addled Lisa Marie Presley would lock herself in her room and obsessively trawl the internet watching videos of her ex husband Michael Jackson during her days-long binges between 2014 and 2016.

Aside from spending hours on end watching the King of Pop's most iconic live routines, Lisa Marie was also fixated with watching her father’s drunken stage performances and would laugh maniacally, according to a source.

Drug-addled Lisa Marie Presley would lock herself in her room and obsessively trawl the internet watching videos of her ex husband Michael Jackson during her days-long binges between 2014 and 2016.

Aside from spending hours on end watching the King of Pop's most iconic live routines, Lisa Marie was also fixated with watching her father’s drunken stage performances and would laugh maniacally, according to a source.

“Lisa Marie was a total wreck and had no grasp on reality,” a source said. “She 
would wake up and pump her body with deadly chemicals and morph into a drug-raged zombie, obsessively watching videos of Elvis and Michael.”

As fans know, Lisa Marie and the "Thriller" hitmaker were married from May 26, 1994 - August 20, 1996.

But while in her warped state, her ex husband Michael Lockwood claimed in court documents he waited on her hand and foot, cooking her meals and brushing her hair, while nannies looked after their ten-year-old twin daughters, Harper and Finley.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported exclusively, pals fear Lisa Marie will "die like her famous dad Elvis."

During her scary drug binges concerned friends and family were left to fear she was just one fix away from a fatal overdose.

“It is a miracle Lisa Marie is still alive,” said an insider.

Meanwhile, Lisa Marie made headlines this week after RadarOnline.com exposed sensational photos which revealed the sleazy mayhem inside the private Tennessee mansion of Elvis' drug-ravaged daughter, where, according to allegations in court documents, she would lock herself away for days on self-destructive binges!

In the bombshell photos can be seen scattered pill bottles sitting on a mound of a white powder, believed to be cocaine, next to snorting paraphernalia — a cut straw and a plastic card to rack out lines of the lethal drug.

The troubled celebrity spawn would hole up in her bedroom amid piles of drugs, food and trash while ignoring her personal hygiene.

The 51-year-old mother would snort so much cocaine she would stay awake for 11 days straight, while enhancing her mind-bending high with a cocktail of prescription pills — popping up to 80 opioids every day — combined with liquor, according to Lockwood, who made the bombshell allegations in sealed court documents exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com.

When she’s high, according to the documents, Lisa Marie admitted to hallucinations and visions of cocaine flying toward her like shards of broken glass. On another occasion, she became convinced bugs were attacking her and crawling over her bed.

A live-in nanny during Lisa Marie’s period of heavy drug use between 2014 and 2016 said, according to the eye-popping documents: “Lisa Marie stayed in her room most of the time either sleeping, watching TV or on the computer. If she were to come out of her room it was usually in a disheveled state.”

If she were to come out of her room it was usually in a disheveled state.”

A second live-in nanny said the only times Lisa Marie would leave her room was to eat.

Lisa Marie would also binge on Valium and diazepam, according to a source, used as muscle relaxants and anti-anxiety medicine, as well as the painkiller Vicodin, and hydrocodone syrup, which works as a narcotic painkiller when abused.

A tortured Lisa Marie herself admitted in a 2017 deposition she was “abusing cocaine terribly” in 2015 as well as being a heavy user of opioids, painkillers and alcohol. She also admitted she had been so whacked out she couldn’t even remember how many times she had been to rehab, saying it was three, four or five times.

While she denied ever doing drugs in front of the twin daughters, Harper and Finley, Lisa Marie admitted she “had a serious substance abuse problem that started around 2012,” documents reveal.

The report notes Lisa Marie said that from October 2015 until June 2016 she was “using a significant amount of drugs and staying in bed a lot.”

She also confessed “she started using cocaine to counteract the effect of the pills,” and as a result, she admitted she would “go for days without sleeping.”

A source said Lisa Marie now claims she’s been sober for two years, and in July 2017 she “expressed regret that her drug use interfered with her being a good mother … because she was in bed a lot and not fully functioning,” according to records of her testimony.

But insiders fear Lisa Marie will always be at risk of relapsing because she’s surrounded by enablers and has gone to great lengths to hide her drug abuse from perhaps the only person who could save her — her mother, Priscilla.

“Celebrities can bend the rules, use different names and different doctors and now she’s in Hollywood, the U.S. capital for medical corruption. Just look at what happened to Michael Jackson!”

Lisa Marie Presley’s twins taken from her: ‘disturbing’ photos found on estranged husband’s computer



The eight-year-old twin daughters of Lisa Marie Presley are now in the custody of child protective services, after the daughter of legendary singer Elvis Presley found “disturbing” photos and videos of children on the computer of Michael Lockwood, her estranged husband and the twins’ father, the British tabloid The Daily Mail is reporting.

Finley and Harper Lockwood are now in the care of the state Department of Children and Family Services, and a trial has been set for March to determine their future, Lisa Marie Presley alleges in court papers related to her nasty divorce from Lockwood.

Presley said she was “shocked and horrified and sick to my stomach” to discover the images, according to the court papers, obtained by the Daily Mail.

Presley, 49, added that Beverly Hills police found 80 devices belonging to Lockwood during a raid on their Beverly Hills home. She said the police still have the devices, and they have not been fully analyzed.

“My understanding is that Tennessee law enforcement is also conducting an investigation related to the photos and videos that I discovered,” she said, according to the documents. “I have no idea what else may be on those devices and fear that there are more and worse images and evidence in these un-analyzed devices.

Presley and Lockwood, 55, a musician who has worked with Fiona Apple and Aimee Mann among others, were married in a lavish $340,000 ceremony in Kyoto, Japan in 2006. Presley was previously married to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage. Her first husband, Danny Keough, was best man at her wedding to Lockwood. Presley and Lockwood separated in June.

Presley claims that nearly all of her $300 million fortune is gone, though she currently receives $100,000 a month from a trust that her father set up for her before his death in 1977. She says she is also paid $4,361 a month from a job she keeps at Graceland, her father’s home in Memphis that is now a local tourist attraction.

She claims Lockwood misappropriated her funds, alleging that he spent more than $1 million of her money without her consent. And he is now demanding $40,000 a month in spousal support and $100,000 towards his legal costs.

The Daily Mail reported last month that Lockwood was demanding that a post-nuptial agreement that the two signed in 2007 be torn up. That document said neither party should have a claim on the assets of the other in the event of the marriage breaking down.

But Lockwood is saying he was coerced into signing the document while Presley says she should not have to pay him anything.

Presley says she checked herself into rehab in August, following her split from Lockwood, for treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. She now lives with her daughter, actress Riley Keough, and her husband.

The Latest on Lisa Marie Presley & Michael Lockwood’s Divorce Drama


Earlier today, Lisa Marie Presley made a court appearance as part of her divorce proceedings with ex Michael Lockwood.

During the hearing, Presley was ordered to pay $50,000 in legal fees to her ex, who she has accused of sexual misconduct.

As of now, she does not have to pay spousal support, which he has requested, demanding $40,000 per month from her.

After the court ruling, “Extra” caught up with Lisa Marie’s lawyer, Mark P. Gross, who said, "The judge made some interesting decisions." Watch!


The court hearing was just a week after Presley accused Lockwood of possessing "hundreds of inappropriate photos of children.” After her allegations, Michael told DailyMail.com that he was “disgusted” and accused her of "trying to damage my reputation.”

Their twin daughters are currently in the care of their famous grandmother, Priscilla Presley, while the warring former couple is in the middle of their ugly divorce drama. Earlier in the week, Priscilla set the record straight after rumors were flying that the twins had been taken away by Child Protective Services. She wrote on social media, "There is Lots of confusion, commotion and concern from all the talk circulating. Let me put this to rest... the girls have not been in foster care and never will be. The girls have been with me and will be until all this is sorted out.”

This is old news. I found out these wasn't here.

Lisa Marie Presley's messy divorce sheds light on her downward spiral


Having hit that milestone age earlier this month, the only daughter of the late Elvis Presley has had her share of ups and downs — from her father’s death when she was 9, to early substance abuse issues and marriages that made for tabloid fodder. (She shared a bed with Michael Jackson after all.) But with age comes more drama for the songstress and mom of four. Not only has she blown her fortune (she says she’s $16 million in debt), but she’s locked in a bitter divorce with her fourth husband, which has led to the revelation of her extensive substance abuse issues.

Right now she’s in the middle of multiple legal battles. The first is with Michael Lockwood, whom she announced she was divorcing in June 2016 after a decade of marriage. He’s demanding a share of her fortune, which at one point was more than $100 million as her megastar dad’s sole heir. He’s also demanding she pay for some of his legal fees, and claims she’s lying about her financial woes. You’ll probably remember that following initial news of their split, Presley accused him of having “disturbing” images on his computer, and they were both stripped of custody of their 9-year-old twin daughters, Harper and Finley. (Presley’s mom, Priscilla, briefly stepped in to take custody of the girls.)

The August deposition from Presley and Lockwood’s divorce has recently been obtained by the tabloid Radar. In it, she admits to “abusing cocaine terribly” during the last few years of marriage and mixing alcohol and pills. (As a teen, Lisa Marie was treated at the Castle, a Scientology center in Hollywood, ABC News reported in 2003. She remained a member of the controversial organization until 2012.)

“The last three years I … had to go to rehab several times,” she said, later putting the number at somewhere between three and five stints in a Mexican treatment facility. “I was a mess. I couldn’t stop.” Pressed for specifically what she was taking, she said painkillers, opioids, and alcohol, but noted that booze was “not my favorite thing.”

“The last year of our marriage, I was abusing cocaine terribly,” she said, according to the court documents. Asked if her drug use was heavy, she said, “It was bad, yeah.” The mixing came the last few years: “I didn’t mix the pills and alcohol until, like, the last two years,” she said.

Amid this battle with Lockwood over money — and tied to it — she’s also suing a former business manager, Barry Siegel, who she alleges squandered her $100 million fortune, leaving her with only $14,000 in cash, $500,000 in credit card debt, unspecified unpaid taxes, and a mansion in England in foreclosure.

Some history: Lisa Marie inherited her father’s estate, worth an estimated $100 million, when she was 25. Thanks to Graceland and licensing of her father’s image, the business continued to make approximately $40 million a year. In 2005, after a few bad business moves, she decided to sell 85 percent of the stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises. “We took on more debt than I felt comfortable with,” she told Fortune at the time. However, her spending habits were an issue, according to the magazine, with Presley “running through $5 million to $7 million a year, amounts that closely matched the annual net income” of the business. With the sale, Presley was paid out $100 million — $53 million in cash, the erasure of a $25 million debt she owed, and stock worth $20 million. She retained the 15 percent stake and owns Graceland and its original items, despite its being run by the new company.

That brings us to Siegel. Lisa Marie says that he was “reckless and negligent” in his “mismanagement” of her inherited estate. She claims he spent 11 years depleting the $100 million trust she inherited after Elvis’s 1977 death for his “self-serving ambition.” However, much of the misconduct began in 2005, when Siegel sold Presley’s interest in EPE to align himself with a famous investor tied to the holding company of American Idol, she said. Presley alleged that when that didn’t work, Siegel began liquidating her assets in order to supplement the trust income without informing her, putting “his own best interests ahead of her in order to put himself in proximity to [the investor] and his celebrity circle.”

Presley also claims Siegel bought a $9 million English home using her trust’s money, pledging the trust as collateral when he couldn’t make the $6.7 million balloon payment. And by 2016, she claims, he had liquidated almost all the trust’s remaining principal — especially after the Idol holding company went bankrupt. That brought her assets to $14,000 in cash and her credit card debt to more than $500,000, according to her filings. That’s what led her to sue for breach of trust, negligence, constructive fraud, and “recompense for the tens of millions of dollars that Siegel … cost her through reckless mismanagement.”

Of course, he has a different take, according to the legal docs. He says she “twice squandered” her father’s fortune after she inherited it — counting her 2005 payout as the second time — and is “looking to blame others instead of taking responsibility for her actions.”

So what is Lisa Marie, who has released three albums since 2003, working with in addition to the $14,000 in cash and extreme amount of debt? In court documents related to her divorce, Presley listed her income as a monthly salary of $4,361 from her father’s estate, as well as $100,000 in dividends and interest from investments.

Needless to say, being in the middle of two different lawsuits isn’t helping her financial situation either — or her personal woes. But she’s always been tough. She didn’t inherit Elvis’s sneer for nothing. And on her second album, she sang, “I’ll Figure It Out,” and she will. But this no doubt has been a hard lesson. Both in love and life.

Lisa Marie Presley Says She's $16 Million in Debt
In 2016, the daughter of the late Elvis Presley and fellow singer, who is also famous for her short-lived marriage to Michael Jackson, filed for divorce from current husband Michael Lockwood



Lisa Marie Presley states in court documents filed amid her divorce battle that she is $16 million in debt.

In 2016, the 50-year-old daughter of the late Elvis Presley and fellow singer, who is also famous for her short-lived marriage to the late Michael Jackson, filed for divorce from current husband Michael Lockwood, with whom she shares twin daughters. Amid their court battle, legal documents have revealed glimpses of Lisa Marie's finances.

Newly submitted documents show that she is more than $16.7 million in debt. She said she has yet to pay more than $10 million in tax bills from several years past, that she has defaulted on a $6 million mortgage she took out for a home she owns in the United Kingdom and that she also has more than $47,800 in credit card bills and also has tens of thousands of dollars owed to attorneys.

Lisa Marie's documents state she earns a monthly salary of $4,361 from her late father's estate and receives $100,000 in dividends and interest from investments.

She also states that she lives with the twins, her 24-year-old son Benjamin Keough, and her 27-year-old daughter Riley Keough and her husband, and that the latter two pay for some of her household expenses. She says she pays more than $120,000 a month to cover mortgage payments, rent, food, utilities, attorney fees and credit card debt.


Lisa Marie detailed her debts as a response to her ex's demand that she pay more than $450,000 to cover his attorney fees. Last year, she opposed his demand that she pay his attorney fees as well as spousal support. A judge later said she must pay $50,000 to cover her ex's legal fees over a course of five months, until a trial takes place to determine the validity of a post-nuptial agreement they had signed after their 2006 marriage, which details divorce terms.

Also in 2017, Lisa Marie claimed in court documents submitted as part of the divorce battle that she owes the IRS $1.5 million, owes the U.K. government more than $5 million, owes $250,000 in state taxes and hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional debt.

At the time, she said her business manager did not pay taxes, which caused her to have "considerable tax liability outstanding from this income over the last several years."

Lisa Marie Presley's ex Michael Lockwood won't face charges in Tennessee after claims he possessed 'inappropriate' images of kids



Lisa Marie Presley's estranged husband Michael Lockwood hasn't been charged with a crime following her claims he possessed inappropriate photos of children.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation looked into the matter, but never opened an investigation and has not been able to determine a crime occurred, People reports.

"Barring any new potential evidence or information, we have concluded our involvement in this matter," T.B.I. Public Information Officer Josh DeVine told People. "We have not been able to determine a crime occurred in Tennessee and accordingly do not have an open investigation."

Presley, 49, alleged in court documents relating to the couple's divorce that Lockwood, 55, possessed "inappropriate" images of children on his devices that left her "shocked, horrified and sick to her stomach."

Lawyers for Lockwood denied the accusations and called them "inaccurate and one-sided."


"Mr. Lockwood is not going to publicly disclose very negative information about Ms. Presley to retaliate," Jeff Sturman said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight. "Therefore, while Mr. Lockwood denies the truth of what Ms. Presley chose to put in the press."

After the claims were made public, Presley also revealed that the couple's 8-year-old twin daughters were in protective custody but it ultimately turned out they have been living with their grandmother Priscilla Presley.

Lisa Marie and Lockwood married in 2006 and the daughter of Elvis filed for divorce in 2016 and checked into rehab for pill addiction shortly after.

Before marrying Lockwood, Presley was married to Danny Keough from 1988 to 1994, Michael Jackson from 1994 to 1996 and Nicolas Cage from 2002 and 2004.

Lisa Marie Presley files for divorce from husband of 10 years


Lisa Marie Presley’s 10-year marriage to Michael Lockwood is coming to an end. The performer filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, according to the Associated Press.

In the filing Presley, 48, cited irreconcilable differences as grounds for the divorce and requested full custody of the couple’s twin girls, Harper and Finley.

Presley is the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. The split from Lockwood is the singer-actress’ fourth divorce.

In 1988, Presley married musician Danny Keough,with whom she had a son, Benjamin, and a daughter, Riley. The couple divorced in 1994. Presley married Michael Jackson later that year, divorcing in 1996, and married Nicolas Cage in 2002, divorcing in 2004.

Lockwood, a guitarist and producer, served as main guitarist on Presley’s 2012 “Storm & Grace” tour and has worked with Carly Simon, Jon Brion and Aimee Mann.

Lockwood and Presley married in 2006.

Representatives for Lisa Marie Presley did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday afternoon.

LISA MARIE PRESLEY
CLAIMS ESTRANGED HUBBY CALLED PAPARAZZI
To Look Like Doting Dad

Lisa Marie Presley's estranged husband arranged for paparazzi to make him look like a doting dad ... so claim people connected to Lisa Marie.

Michael Lockwood was photographed at a flea market Sunday with their twin girls. Sources connected with Lisa Marie tell us Lisa Marie is convinced this was a setup ... that paparazzi didn't just happen to find him. She believes he called them to make it appear he's an involved dad ... something she believes is fiction.

The kids are currently living with their grandma, Priscilla Presley, while the Dept. of Children and Family Services investigates allegations Michael had inappropriate pictures on his computer. Lisa Marie was struggling with substance abuse issues so Priscilla is now the day-to-day guardian.

Lisa Marie filed for divorce last June and asked for sole legal and physical custody. Michael responded by saying he wanted joint custody. For now, he gets monitored visits.

We reached out to Michael's lawyer ... so far, no word back.

Lisa Marie Presley stopped from taking daughters to Elvis’ 85th birthday party
Presley, locked in a custody battle with her ex, had hoped to take their 11-year-old daughters to Graceland to celebrate her late father’s birthday.



Starting Wednesday, family, friends and fans of Elvis Presley will gather at Graceland, his estate in Memphis, Tennessee to celebrate what would have been his milestone 85th birthday.

Sadly for the King’s only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, she won’t be able to bring her twin 11-year-old daughters to the celebration, which was to include a private party at Graceland Wednesday night with Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla Presley.


Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Lockwood attend the premiere of Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Mad Max: Fury Road” at TCL Chinese Theatre on May 7, 2015 in Hollywood, California.
That’s because Lisa Marie Presley, 51, failed to get a judge to sign an emergency order, letting her take the girls, Finley and Harper, out of state, The Blast reported. Presley has been caught up in a pretty grueling custody battle with her estranged husband, Michael Lockwood, from whom she filed for divorce in 2016.

Under terms of a standing court order, neither Presley nor Lockwood can take the children out of California without the consent of the other parent or court approval, The Blast reported.

The judge rejected Presley’s request, saying that her wish to take the girls to their late grandfather’s birthday celebration was not considered enough of an “emergency” for them to travel, The Blast said. Presley is said to be “very disappointed” that her daughters can’t experience an event to honor the music legend’s life and artistic legacy.

Lockwood, a guitarist and music producer, is Presley’s fourth husband. Presley, who has forged a music career of her own as a singer-songwriter, was previously married to musician Danny Keough, with whom she shares a daughter, actress Riley Keough, 30, and son, Benjamin, 27.

Presley also was famously married to pop star Michael Jackson from 1992 to 1996. She supported him as he dealt with a drug addiction and after he was first accused in a civil lawsuit in 1993 of child sexual abuse allegations. During their marriage, Presley and Jackson vacationed at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, during which the future president said the odd lovebirds spent time “holding hands and talking until the wee hours” — even if they adjourned to separate bedrooms, People reported in 1994.

Presley was then married to actor Nicholas Cage for about three months in 2002. In 2006, she married Lockwood and gave birth to their daughters in 2008. Things outwardly appeared to be fine with the marriage until February 2016, when Presley filed for divorce.

In 2017, Presley filed court documents opposing Lockwood’s request for child support. Her argument centered on her bombshell allegations that their daughters had been taken into protective custody by the Department of Child and Family Services after Presley said she found “disturbing” photos and videos of children on his computer, E! News reported.

But Tennessee law enforcement officials subsequently disclosed to E! Online that they had been unable to determine if a crime occurred and had dropped the inquiry.

Lockwood also hit back by claiming that Presley abused substances and that she was “coaching” their daughters to make allegations against him, the Daily Mail said. Overall, both Presley and Lockwood said the other parent put the girls at serious risk. A trial to resolve their custody dispute has been scheduled for July 2020 and is expected to last up to a month, the Daily Mail added.

Meanwhile, the girls will miss the big, four-day celebration at Graceland for Elvis Presley, who was born Jan. 8, 1935 and died at the estate on Aug. 16, 1977 at age 42. Lisa Marie Presley was 9 years old when her father died.

According to Graceland’s website, the celebration is packed with four days of events, many featuring Priscilla Presley and producer Jerry Schilling, a Memphis music industry fixture and longtime friend of Elvis who also managed Lisa Marie Presley’s career.

An $875 package — which has sold out — gave attendees a ticket to Wednesday night’s birthday bash and an evening Graceland tour, along with an exclusive photo op with Priscilla Presley, seats to an Elvis Birthday Pops Concert and a tour of Memphis with Schilling.

Lisa Marie Presley’s ex concerned she’ll relapse after son Benjamin’s suicide


Lisa Marie Presley’s ex Michael Lockwood says he is so concerned she will relapse following her son Benjamin Keough’s suicide that he wants primary custody of their twin daughters.

Lockwood, 59, and Presley, 52, have been locked in a bitter custody battle since filing for divorce in 2016, 10 years after they married. In 2017, 11-year-old Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love ended up in state custody, but court papers filed at the time didn’t explain why. Presley did, however, accuse Lockwood of having child pornography on his computer, an allegation he and his attorney vehemently denied.

Presley requested primary custody in fall 2018 but now Lockwood wants her stripped of it, according to documents obtained by The Blast, because of the dangers of her having a gun in her home and her previous battle with addiction.

“Lisa Marie Presley’s son shot and killed himself in her home (Although she was not there at the time.) With all due sympathy and respect, this creates a new and unaddressed twofold problem: the safety of the children and the greater likelihood of LMP to relapse into drug and alcohol dependency,” the new documents read.

Lockwood claimed there is a “significantly higher risk to the safety of the children” given the firearm’s presence in the home and suggested exposing their daughters to the idea of suicide might make them “think about suicide or attempt it, in light of their half brother’s suicide.”

He’s requesting 100 percent physical custody, as well as random drug tests for his ex-wife.

They’re set to face off in court on Aug. 3 unless they come to an agreement prior to their court date.

Grieving Lisa Marie Presley arrives at court dressed in black for divorce trial with fourth husband Michael Lockwood - three weeks after son Benjamin Keough's death


Lisa Marie Presley’s divorce trial has started today, four years after she split from her fourth husband Michael Lockwood and just three weeks after the tragic death of her son Benjamin Keough.

The grieving mother - now 52 - showed up at the courthouse in downtown LA on Monday looking somber and wearing a black pantsuit, black mask and dark glasses.

Alongside her was a tall, burly bodyguard, also dressed in black, and her lawyer Gary Fishbein.

The trial, which is expected to last through the end of August, will finally end the couple’s 10-year marriage and decide who gets custody of their twin 11-year-old daughters Harper and Finley.

Lockwood, 59, argued last week in court papers that he should be awarded primary custody of his daughters because he feared Presley could relapse back into drugs and booze due to her grief over 27-year-old Benjamin’s suicide last month.

The musician was seen arriving at the Stanley Mosk courthouse in a blue suit, black pork-pie hat and also wearing a mask.


Before the start of Monday’s proceedings in front of LA Superior Court Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman, the press and public were ordered to leave, with the court clerk declaring: ‘This is a closed hearing.’

Hearings involving child custody are often sealed from public view.

Lisa Marie - Elvis’ only child - has admitted in the past to battling opioid and other painkiller addictions but claims to have been sober for the past three years.

Yet Lockwood - who also expressed concerns in court documents about guns at Presley’s $1.8 million home in Calabasas - alleged in legal documents that ‘heartbroken’ Presley's anguish over Benjamin's death could send her back to drugs and alcohol.

Before the start of Monday’s proceedings in front of LA Superior Court Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman, the press and public were ordered to leave, with the court clerk declaring: ‘This is a closed hearing.’

Hearings involving child custody are often sealed from public view.

Lisa Marie - Elvis’ only child - has admitted in the past to battling opioid and other painkiller addictions but claims to have been sober for the past three years.

Yet Lockwood - who also expressed concerns in court documents about guns at Presley’s $1.8 million home in Calabasas - alleged in legal documents that ‘heartbroken’ Presley's anguish over Benjamin's death could send her back to drugs and alcohol.

'Lisa Marie Presley's son shot and killed himself in her home (Although she was not there at the time),’ he said. ‘With all due sympathy and respect, this creates a new and unaddressed twofold problem: the safety of the children and the greater likelihood of [Presley] to relapse into drug and alcohol dependency,' he wrote.

'The children told (him) that (LMP) walked around the house with a gun in her hand in 2017. There was at least one gun on the premises of her home at the time of her son’s suicide and it is unclear where the gun was kept or whether Finley and/or Harper might have access to this gun or others.

'Thus, there is a significantly higher risk to the safety of the children which would ordinarily justify 100 percent physical custody (to me) at this time in such circumstances.’

In addition, Lockwood said he’s worried his twins will be exposed to conversations about suicide.


'There is a greater possibility that the children might think about suicide or attempt it, in light of their half brother’s suicide.

'LMP has sobriety issues, has a problem with substance and alcohol abuse, kept at least one firearm in the house where her son had access and used it to kill himself, carried a handgun in front of the children during 2017 at home, and thus LMP is a far greater risk to the children’s safety than (me).

'In light of such a tragic and devastating event, it would not be surprising for (LMP) to relapse into drug or alcohol use despite her alleged three years sober. The death of a child is among life’s most traumatic events.’

Lockwood said he does not know if Presley is currently sober and he asked the court to impose random drug tests on her - which he would also be willing to take himself.

Presley's soon-to-be ex also claimed in legal documents that he is so broke - he makes only $1,000 a month and has ‘minus $371’ in his bank account - he cannot afford a lawyer, though he showed up with one, Joe Yanny.

Lockwood argued Presley should pay for his attorney under Californian 'parity' rules that say divorcing couples should have access to similar legal resources to ensure a fair contest.

'Upon information and belief, Presley has an annual income well over one million dollars, while I currently have virtually no income whatsoever (I have some meager royalty payments that come in from time to time, but they do not total even one tenth or one twentieth of Petitioner's income),' he added.

Lockwood maintained in court filings that he owes more than $700,000 in legal fees that he chalked up in 2018 when he hired attorneys to fight a court battle in which he tried to persuade a judge to tear up a post-nuptial agreement - where he and Presley both signed away their rights to each other’s property and spousal support if they divorced.

At that time he asked the court to order Presley to pay him $263,000 a year in spousal support so he could ‘enjoy a lifestyle closer to my marital status of living’, which included lavish entertaining, expensive vacations and flying on private jets.

But Lockwood ended up losing the case and not getting a penny after Judge Gould-Saltman found his argument didn’t wash. Lockwood had claimed he hadn’t read the post-nup agreement and his attorney at the time failed to explain it to him.

The judge said: ‘If Respondent (Lockwood) elected not to read it (the post-nup) and accept the consequences that it would be upheld, that is his choice.’

Presley herself has also been pleading poverty, once claiming in court documents that she was as much as $16 million in debt.

Two years ago, she filed a separate lawsuit in Los Angeles against her former business manager, Barry J. Siegel, accusing him of frittering away her one-time $100 million trust fund from Elvis and charging her $700,000 a month while he was losing her fortune.

Siegel counter-sued, demanding $800,000 in fees he claimed he was owed and insisting that Presley ’squandered’ away her fortune because of her ‘uncontrollable spending habits.’ That case is ongoing.

Presley has been married four times and has four children. She married singer Danny Keough in 1988 and they shared Danielle Riley Keough - movie star Riley Keough - and Benjamin. They divorced in 1994.

That same year, she married Michael Jackson but they divorced two years later. Her third marriage, in 2002 to actor Nicolas Cage, barely lasted two years. She wed Michael Lockwood in 2006 and they separated and filed for divorce in 2016.

In February 2017, Presley took the couple’s then eight year-old twin daughters into protective custody and refused Lockwood's claim for spousal support, claiming to have found images and videos of child pornography on his computer.

Lockwood denied the accusation and was never charged in connection to her claims.

Lisa Marie Presley appears near tears as she heads to McDonald’s after divorce court just weeks following son’s suicide


LISA Marie Presley looks exhausted and heartbroken after a long day in court as she fights for custody of her 11-year-old twins.

Elvis' only daughter, who lost her son Benjamin to suicide three weeks ago after he shot himself in the head, came face-to-face with her ex Michael Lockwood in court on Monday.

Wearing pearl earrings and her long brunette hair loose, the 52-year-old looked distraught as she was pictured going through a McDonald's drive-thru with a friend.

The former couple, who split in 2016 after 10 years of marriage, are involved in a private court battle, expected to last until the end of August, which will finally end their marriage four years after they split.

Michael is also attempting to obtain primary custody of their 11-year-old twins Harper and Finley.

An insider told The Sun exclusively that Michael has hired Joseph Yanny, partner of LA-based Yanny & Smith, a powerhouse attorney who represented the Church of Scientology for years before severing ties.

In court documents filed last week, Michael expressed concerns about his ex Lisa Marie relapsing into drugs and alcohol, along with guns at the family's $1.8million residence in Calabasas after Ben's tragic death.

"Lisa Marie Presley's son shot and killed himself in her home (Although she was not there at the time)," he wrote in papers filed last week.

He further alleged: "With all due sympathy and respect, this creates a new and unaddressed twofold problem: the safety of the children and the greater likelihood of [Presley] to relapse into drug and alcohol dependency.


"Thus, there is a significantly higher risk to the safety of the children which would ordinarily justify 100 percent physical custody (to me) at this time in such circumstances."

"The children told (me) that (LMP) walked around the house with a gun in her hand in 2017," he alleged in court papers.

"There was at least one gun on the premises of her home at the time of her son’s suicide and it is unclear where the gun was kept or whether Finley and/or Harper might have access to this gun or others."

Benjamin's cause of death is a shotgun wound and the manner is classified as a suicide, the Los Angeles Coroner confirmed to The Sun following a July 13 autopsy.

Lisa Marie Presley deals with 'medical emergency' amid push back of custody trial with her ex Michael Lockwood

Lisa Marie Presley delayed a court date in Los Angeles with ex Michael Lockwood earlier this week, pushing the court appearance in their private trial from Monday until Friday.

The daughter of the late Elvis Presley, 52, shares twins Finley and Harper, 11, with the 59-year-old musician, who she parted ways with four years ago following a decade-long marriage.

According to The Sun, the emergency was the reason for the delayed court date.

Court documents in the case read that 'the matter is not called for hearing,' as 'counsel for Petitioner represents that Petitioner cannot appear this date due to a medical emergency,' The Sun reported.

The custody decision regarding Finley and Harper is expected to be revealed within weeks in the trial, the outlet reported.

Lockwood, in court docs, declared that Presley's lawyers have engaged in 'hyper-aggressive litigation' in the case, calling for 'hearings spurred by baseless salacious allegations.'

Lockwood said that Presley incorporated techniques she learned during her time with the Church of Scientology called 'Fair Gaming' to estrange him from his daughters, and had asked the court to call former Scientologist Leah Remini in the case, The Blast reported in July.

Lockwood tol


d the court that Presley 'was raised as a Scientologist and continues to employ a central principle of Scientology called "Fair Game" or "Fair Gaming."'

Lisa Marie is also mother to daughters Riley Keough, 31, and late son Benjamin Keough, who tragically took his own life at 27 at her home in Calabasas, California on July 12.

EXCLUSIVE: Lisa Marie Presley's divorce and custody battle with fourth husband Michael Lockwood is finally coming to an end after the trial was delayed when she suffered a 'medical emergency'

Lisa Marie Presley's divorce and custody trial is set to end Friday - three months after it began and four years after she split with her fourth husband, musician Michael Lockwood.

Elvis' only child, now 52, showed up at a court in downtown Los Angeles wearing a cream pantsuit, cream silk blouse, beige high heels and a black mask.

With her was a tall, shaven-headed bodyguard and her lawyer Gary Fishbein.

Friday's hearing was delayed from Monday because Presley had an unspecified 'medical emergency' and as she was ushered into the courtroom, a Sheriff's deputy asked her: 'Are you feeling better today?'

Lisa Marie answered: 'Much better, thank you.'

Lockwood - in a light gray, three-piece suit, purple shirt, flowered tie and also wearing a mask - arrived 10 minutes late for the trial conclusion which will finally bring an end to the couple's 10-year marriage, plus a judge's decision as to who gets custody of their twin 11 year-old daughters, Harper and Finlay.

LA Superior Court Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman barred the press and public from the hearing and a sign reading, 'Closed proceedings - do not enter,' was posted on the courtroom door. Cases involving child custody are often sealed from public view.

In court documents, Lockwood, 59, has accused Presley - who was raised as a Scientologist - of using a Church of Scientology tactic called 'Fair Gaming' to drive a wedge between him and his daughters.

And he also attacked Lisa Marie's lawyers for 'hyper-aggressive litigation' in the divorce and custody case, with 'hearings spurred by baseless salacious allegations'.

After Presley's 27-year-old son Benjamin Keough committed suicide in July, Lockwood claimed in legal documents that Lisa Marie's heartbreak over the tragedy could send her back to the drugs and alcohol she claims she's been free of for three years.

'Lisa Marie Presley's son shot and killed himself in her home (Although she was not there at the time),' he said. 'With all due sympathy and respect, this creates a new and unaddressed twofold problem: the safety of the children and the greater likelihood of [Presley] to relapse into drug and alcohol dependency,

'The children told (him) that (LMP) walked around the house with a gun in her hand in 2017. There was at least one gun on the premises of her home at the time of her son's suicide and it is unclear where the gun was kept or whether Finley and/or Harper might have access to this gun or others.

'Thus, there is a significantly higher risk to the safety of the children which would ordinarily justify 100% physical custody to (me) at this time in such circumstances.'

Lisa Marie Presley Gets Joint Custody Of Twins: She’s Elvis Presley’s Only Child


A Los Angeles judge awarded Lisa Marie Presley and her fourth husband joint legal and physical custody of their 12-year-old twin daughters and ordered Elvis Presley’s only child to undergo random monthly drug tests for a year from the first such test, court papers obtained Thursday show.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman also found that the girls’ safety is not jeopardized when they are with their father, 59-year-old guitarist-producer Michael Lockwood. Presley had reported in 2017 that the girls were placed in protective custody after she discovered inappropriate photos of children on Lockwood’s computer.

“The court finds that the children are not at risk of harm with their father,” the judge wrote in a lengthy ruling dated Dec. 8.

However, Gould-Saltman also said that both the 52-year-old Presley and Lockwood can be better parents by putting aside some of their animosity.

“The court finds that the conflict between the parties and their communication difficulties have had a detrimental (effect on) the children’s best interests,” the judge wrote.

According to media reports on a pretrial filing that was later sealed, Lockwood said he was so concerned that Presley will relapse into substance abuse after the July 12 suicide of 27-year-old Benjamin Keough — her son from her first marriage to musician Danny Keough — that he wanted primary custody of their daughters, Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love.

The judge addressed Presley’s drug problems in her ruling.

“(Presley), during the relevant times, was so abusing drugs that her ability to interpret and recall events accurately was distorted and untrustworthy,” the judge wrote. “It is to her credit that she has since overcome her addiction and continues to take steps to ensure her sobriety.”

Gould-Saltman said she “does not have concern that (Presley) is currently abusing drugs.”

The judge wrote that Presley testified she started using a painkiller after having a C-section when her twins were born in October 2008 and later became addicted to ocycodone, admitting to taking as many as 80 pills daily.

“(Presley) started using cocaine in an attempt to reduce her use of opiates and help her think more clearly,” the judge wrote.

In his testimony, Lockwood expressed concern that Presley was still not sober, based in part on photos of her he had seen in 2017 and 2018, later than the time Presley claims to have come clean, the judge wrote.


“He testified that (Presley’s) drug issue began just after the twins were born and got a lot worse over time and by 2013 was out of control,” according to Gould-Saltman.

Lockwood said many of the photos deemed inappropriate by Presley were taken with her present and that she herself was in some of them.

The hearing took place between August and November, with several interruptions before the judge took the case under submission. The hearing was conducted in closed session because the girls are minors, but the judge’s ruling was attached to a public document in which Lockwood is seeking attorneys’ fees from Presley.

Presley’s daughter Riley Keough testified in August that the family, including her mother, was seeking grief counseling three times a week to cope with her brother Benjamin’s death, according to the judge. Keough described her mother’s addition period as “short” and said “she was our rock” when she described how Presley raised her, according to the judge.

Presley filed for divorce in June 2016, 10 years after she and Lockwood married. The divorce is not yet finalized.
