Hope demanded that any judgment she was awarded not be wiped clean in Evander’s bankruptcy. He opposed her move arguing any debt should be discharged.
Recently, a federal trial was held where the judge ended up siding with Evander. The order read, “[Hope] have not shown that that court should deny Kane a discharge. The court will enter judgment for Kane.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, last year, Evander was dealing with a nasty divorce from his wife Anna who accused him of cheating on her with model Mara Teigen.
