Juanita Bynum's estranged husband, Bishop Thomas Weeks III, recently filed his response to Bynum's divorce filing.
In the filing, Weeks — like Bynum — is seeking relief in the divorce, alimony or other support granted by the court. He also asked that the debt be split equitably, not in half. The response was filed in Gwinnett County Superior Court on October 3.
In an article published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, one of Weeks' attorneys said he is trying his best not to make specific requests; he is going to take the high road.
Bynum's publicist said the televangelist had no comment.
Bynum has accused Weeks of beating, stomping and choking her in an Atlanta hotel parking lot on August 21. Weeks was charged with felony aggravated assault, felony terrorist threats and simple battery.
Weeks' attorney said his client has not ruled out adding other arguments in his response to the divorce petition.
