Justice Mathew Cooper ruled this week that Diandra Douglas would need to sue in California court, where the couple’s divorce was filed, reports The New York Post. The judge reiterated his original ruling from last year, which Diandra Douglas’ lawyers asked him to overturn.

Lawyers for Michael Douglas said they hoped this ruling would put the issue rest, while lawyers for his ex-wife said they would appeal. Michael Douglas insisted the couple’s divorce was finalized before discussions for last year’s Wall Street sequel began.
