Kate Walsh's estranged husband Alex Young has filed a court motion requesting the actress' TV bosses detail her future earning potential as he fights for a share of her assets.
The Private Practice star has been embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with Young since separating from him last year (08) and ending their 14-month marriage.
The split has turned ugly in recent months and Walsh is trying to block her ex from claiming alimony, while he is attempting to expose the true value of the actress' assets in a bid to swing the judge's decision in his favour.
He is lobbying to have Stephen McPherson, president of the ABC network - the company behind Walsh's hit medical drama - deposed to reveal all about her wages and financial prospects, reports TMZ.com.
ABC's legal team are trying to have the proposed deposition blocked, claiming Young is "harassing" McPherson.
But Young is refusing to back down, and, in the latest round of legal papers filed in their ongoing divorce on Wednesday (24Jun09), his lawyer Jeff Sturman claims Walsh is set to earn a fortune through any future projects with the network - and Young wants McPherson to reveal just how much he can expect to lay claim to.
He says, "Ms. Walsh is not a garden variety employee who received a weekly pay cheque."
The spat between McPherson and Young is due to go before a judge on 8 July (09).
