 It looks like Jon and Kate Gosselin will remain married until next year, as they are currently waiting on a final divorce decree. A lawyer for Jon says the reality star couple’s divorce is unlikely to be finalized until early next year. I guess the Gosselins will be spending the New Year as a married couple. Jon and Kate exchanged wedding rings in 2009. It was announced on the June 22, 2009 episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8 that the couple was separating, and that divorce proceedings had begun. The duo has been married for over 10 years. Mark Jay Heller, Jon’s lawyer, revealed that the arbiter's decisions on custody and finances are “a work in progress.” He says the couple has not signed off on it, but that the arbiter's decisions will be final. In related news, it seems that Jon may be broke. Last week, TLC was granted an injunction that forced Jon to stop making public appearances. According to a source, the injunction dealt a serious blow to Jon’s financial situation. “Jon's in pretty serious financial trouble because his plan for making money was shut down in court. He has warned his lawyers that he can't pay them and if he doesn't succeed against TLC, he will have no funds. He's even gone so far as to say that if they want to be paid, they will have to sue him,” the source revealed. Jon’s lawyers are part of a father and son team. They were introduced to Gosselin by Michael Lohan, Linday Lohan’s father, claims the source. “Mark and Mike Heller were brought in because Michael Lohan was involved, and he convinced them to join Jon's team early on in the summer. Lohan wanted to latch onto Jon and involved many people he knew. He convinced them Jon was going to have a successful career after the show.” Reps for the Hellers deny any problems with Gosselin. “Jon Gosselin’s New York lawyer has the highest regard for Jon Gosselin and will continue to work for Jon for as long as he requires their services,” the rep said. “The Hellers have no concern relevant to being paid by Jon for their services and see no circumstances under which they would ever sue Jon.” “This past year, Jon Gosselin was the most photographed man in America and appeared in more magazines than any other reality TV star. Wherever he goes, there is an outpouring of love for him from his fans. And there is no doubt that he has a bright and shining career ahead of him.”
