Christina Haack’s divorce settlement with Josh Hall, finalized by an Orange County judge on August 26, 2025, required Haack to pay Hall a one-time equalization payment of $300,000 plus $40,000 toward his attorney fees. Both sides waived spousal support. Haack kept her Newport Beach mansion and a Tennessee farmhouse; Hall kept a Thompson’s Station, Tennessee home, a Tennessee condo, and a piece of California land. The couple had no prenuptial agreement, and the case was resolved through a roughly twelve-hour mediation session before it ever reached trial.1E! Online.

What Hall Received in Cash
The final judgment sets out three payments running from Haack to Hall.
- A $300,000 equalization payment, paid on May 6, 2025, funded from the sale of the Tennessee farmhouse.
- $40,000 toward Hall’s legal fees, with each party responsible for their own costs from that point forward.
- An earlier $100,000 unallocated payment Haack had made to Hall in September 2024, which the judgment credited to Hall without requiring him to return it.
Adding the three together, Hall walked away with roughly $440,000 in cash from Haack, and neither party pays ongoing spousal support.2Yahoo Entertainment. Christina Haack Josh Hall Divorce1E! Online. Christina Haack Josh Hall Divorce: How Much She’ll Pay
What Each Spouse Kept
Haack retained the Newport Beach mansion and multiple Tennessee properties, including the Franklin farmhouse she had used to film Christina in the Country. Hall kept a home in Thompson’s Station, Tennessee, a condo in Tennessee, and a parcel of land in California.
Vehicles were split between them. Hall kept a 2021 Bentley Flying Spur, a 1970 Chevelle, a 1982 DeLorean, a 1947 Dodge, and a Honda motorcycle. Haack kept two 2021 GMC Yukons, a 2021 Polaris RZR, and four quads, and was required to return a 2022 Bentley.3People. Christina Haack Keeps OC Mansion, Won’t Pay Spousal Support

How the Outcome Compares to Hall’s Original Demands
Hall’s opening position was far larger than what he ultimately received. According to Haack, his demands reached $3.5 million along with $65,000 per month in spousal support. Haack called those figures “outrageous” and argued Hall was self-supporting, pointing to a vehicle lease worth more than $70,000 that he had recently paid off. Hall denied the $65,000 monthly figure and called Haack’s court declarations “riddled with lies and assumptions.”4People. Christina Haack Claims Josh Hall Asked Her for $3.5 Million
In his initial filing, Hall had also sought an equal share of the Newport Beach home and equal rights to the HGTV shows produced during the marriage.5New York Post – Page Six. Christina and Josh Hall’s Divorce Drama Timeline Neither request survived into the final judgment. Haack’s estimated net worth sits around $25 million, built on more than a decade of HGTV work, house-flipping income, and brand deals, with per-season Flip or Flop earnings reported between $130,000 and $600,000 and roughly $50,000 per episode for Christina on the Coast.6Yahoo Finance.

Why the No-Prenup Question Mattered
California is a community property state, so with no prenuptial agreement in place, virtually everything acquired during the marriage was subject to division. Haack later said publicly, “I would’ve gotten a prenup or I would’ve never married him.”3People.

The Tennessee Farmhouse Fight
The Franklin, Tennessee farmhouse was the single biggest flashpoint in the case, and it is also where the $300,000 payout came from. Haack had bought the property in February 2021, before the marriage, and listed it for sale at $4.5 million in late 2024. Hall filed a temporary emergency order to block the sale, arguing that he had an interest in the home because the mortgage had been paid down during the marriage.8Taste of Country.

A judge ruled partly for Hall. Under an order issued in October 2024 and filed in January 2025, Haack was required to deposit $150,000 from the sale proceeds into an interest-bearing trust held by Hall’s counsel, no later than five days after escrow closed. In exchange, Hall agreed not to interfere with the sale.9Yahoo Entertainment. Christina Haack Ordered to Pay Estranged Husband From Home Sale10Entertainment Now.

How the Case Was Resolved
Frustrated with the pace of the case, Haack changed lawyers in November 2024, replacing Matthew DeArmey of Dearmey Law APC with Laura Wasser. A source close to Haack said she “decided to go with the best divorce attorney out there to try and wrap this up quickly and fairly.”11Page Six. Christina Hall Hires Divorce Lawyer Laura Wasser
