Days After Disappointment in $1,600,000 Florida Battle, Serena Williams’ Step-Mother Lands in Legal Soup Once Again As Documents Reveal Bizarre Truth

The childhood home of Venus and Serena Williams, where they grew up, learned to play tennis and started their journey to become the legends that they are today, is stuck in a legal conflict. The crumbling childhood house in Palm Beach Gardens has been stuck in a legal battle for years now. Richard Williams purchased the house back in 1981 and it holds a lot of sentimental value for both tennis stars. Now, it looks like the house will be back in the hands of the Williams family after a prolonged legal battle with Richard’s ex-wife.

For the past few years, Richard’s ex-wife, Lakeisha Graham, was fighting a legal battle to take ownership of the house. But the $1,600,000 Florida house went ‘King’ Richard’s way. However, in the process of trying to keep ownership of the house, she might have gotten herself into trouble with the law.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion’s father and her stepmother have been in a 6-year-long legal battle over King Richard’s four-bedroom house in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. While Graham didn’t take care of the house, she took a legal route to claim it as her own. After years of legal battle, the house was handed over to its owner, Richard Williams, giving a huge relief to him.

The court did, however, grant Richard’s request to compel the production of financial records, according to the US Sun. Williams’ stepmother has been unable to stay clean of her run-in with law enforcement.

In addition, she was also pulled over by police for the fourth time this year for driving her 2004 Freightliner Columbia Conventional with a defaced tag. While she was issued a $114 traffic citation for this one, back in May, she was pulled over by the police on the highway with expired tags.

Nevertheless, as she is fighting hard to keep the house, her continuous run-in with police is reducing her chances of her taking out over the crumbling house. Now, their prolonged battle for the $1,600,000 Florida home has a high chance of going King Richard’s way.

According to the US Sun, the 44-year-old was charged with attempting to seize control of the family’s assets. By exploiting her husband’s poor health to forge his signature. The conflict has once again been impacted by Lakeisha’s neglect of the property, which has considerably deteriorated.

Even though she has consistently borrowed money to finish the five-year payback schedule for the house, her carelessness has somehow caused the property to lose half of its value. Additionally, in an effort to turn the tables in her favor, her stepmother has filed for bankruptcy 13 times to demonstrate to the court that she is able to pay the five-year payback schedule.
