Lisa Marie Presley says she’s broke

New York • Lisa Marie Presley describes herself as deeply in debt and just out of a treatment facility in court papers that accuse her estranged fourth husband of having hundreds of inappropriate photographs of children on his computer.

Their 8-year-old twin daughters are under the care of California child protective services, according to documents filed this month with California Superior Court in Los Angeles related to husband Michael Lockwood's request for spousal support. Lockwood has not been charged with anything, and his lawyer said the accusations are inaccurate.

The court papers tell a tale of profligacy and alleged fraud that has made things messy for Presley, 49, the only child of Elvis Presley and ex-wife of both Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.

It's not clear why Presley's daughters are in state custody; her lawyer did not return a call for comment Saturday. Presley said in court papers that she has lived with her adult daughter and has been in a treatment facility for undisclosed reasons since moving from Tennessee to California last year. She and Lockwood separated in June after 10 years of marriage.

Presley said there is a children's court trial scheduled for March related to her discovery of photos and "disturbing" video on her husband's computer.

"I was shocked and horrified and sick to my stomach," she wrote in court papers.

Lockwood's lawyer, Jeff Sturman, said Saturday his client denied the "highly sensational" and "inaccurate" charges.

In court papers, Lockwood called it distasteful that Presley "has placed more value on trying to damage my reputation than on the fact that her false statements may be brought to our daughters' attention, thereby causing them to suffer public humiliation, embarrassment and emotional distress."

Lockwood wants the court to order Presley to pay him $40,000 a month in spousal support and $100,000 in attorneys' fees. He's a musician who said he gave up his career to work with his wife, who's a singer-songwriter.

Presley disclosed that she gets a $100,000 monthly inheritance check, is paid $4,300 a month and gets health insurance through her father's estate. She also has a 15 percent stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises that is held in a trust; Elvis' estate earns millions of dollars a year.
