The Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein is once again facing off with her ex-husband, plastic surgeon Lenny Hochstein, this time over the size, style, and location of a home he’s building for her and their children amid their ongoing divorce drama.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Lisa filed a legal complaint on August 28 accusing Lenny of being in contempt of court for failing to comply with their Marital Settlement Agreement finalized in June 2023. The reality star alleges that her ex has “refused to pay the rent increases, despite his ability to comply,” and is building a home that falls far short of what was promised.

What Was Promised vs. What Was Built

Under the terms of their divorce agreement, Lenny was required to purchase land “on South Shore Drive or a comparable market value close to Star Island in Miami” and construct a new home “in an architectural style and manner similar to” the waterfront mansion the couple previously shared. Lisa was to have exclusive use of the home until their youngest child turns 18, and Lenny would foot the bill for construction, taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

But Lisa says the home Lenny is currently building lacks nearly every feature they agreed upon.

According to the filing, the new build “has no guest home, has five bedrooms rather than six bedrooms, has a driveway which accommodates approximately one-third of the cars it is supposed to, has a smaller pool, is not waterfront and happens to be across from a very noisy high school where band practice is held.”

She claims she voiced her concerns to Lenny directly — only to be met with a dismissive reply:

“The house will be ready in 2-3 months, at which point I will not pay your rent,” he allegedly texted her.

Lisa is now accusing Lenny of a “deliberate attempt to deprive” her and their two children “of the benefit of their bargain under the settlement,” claiming he is trying to “create instability in her home environment.”

The Money Battle Continues

Lisa says Lenny has also failed to increase her rent payments, which he is obligated to cover under the settlement agreement. Since her rent increased from $32,000 to $33,600 per month, she argues he’s out of compliance.

Lenny, however, denies all of it. In a statement to Us Weekly, he fired back:

“None of this is true. It is Lisa that has breached the agreement, which is why we have a hearing later this month.”

He insists that he’s met the agreement’s requirements, claiming the home under construction is 5,074 square feet with an additional 480-square-foot attached garage — making it larger than their former 5,215-square-foot home when combined.

“The fact that Lisa finds this to be ‘not enough’ for her should tell you everything you need to know about the kind of person she is,” Lenny said.

He also took a jab at Lisa’s new boyfriend, tech entrepreneur Jody Glidden:

“Jody… sold his home and moved in with Lisa so for the past two years, I have been paying his rent as well.”

Despite his criticism, Lenny claims he will continue paying rent until the new home is completed:

“It is my intention to continue to pay rent so Lisa and Jody can live in comfort until the nearly $10 million home is ready, at which point Lisa will be able to live in luxury with Jody.”

Lisa’s Legal Team Fires Back

Lisa’s attorney, Parastoo Majd, wasn’t having it. In a statement to Us Weekly, she said:

“Lenny’s self-serving statements are nothing more than distractions designed to deflect from one simple truth: he’s not complying with the Marital Settlement Agreement.”

Majd emphasized that this case is about legal obligations, not luxury:

“To be clear, this isn’t about the house not being ‘enough.’ This is about upholding a contract.”

She also pointed out the financial power imbalance at play:

“Despite his self-proclaimed net worth of ‘175 million dollars,’ Lenny has stopped paying rent for the home where his two children live… forcing Lisa to file yet another motion and return to court.”

And in a particularly pointed comment, she concluded:

“It is apparent that Lenny hates nothing more than a woman who refuses to be controlled. Lisa is standing up for fairness, accountability, her children’s future, and the rule of law against a man who believes the rules simply do not apply to him.”

A House Divided

Lisa and Lenny were married in 2009 and split in 2022. Their divorce was finalized in November 2024, with Lenny ordered to pay $15,000 per month in child support for their two children: Logan, 10, and Elle Marie, 7. The court-approved settlement was designed to provide Lisa and the kids with housing stability — something she says has been put in jeopardy by Lenny’s noncompliance.

Lisa is now asking the court to intervene and force her ex-husband to fulfill his end of the agreement.
