Porsha Williamswas awarded a big victory in herdivorcefromSimon Guobadia.

In the latest ruling in the case, the court granted Williams her request to “quash” Guobadia’s subpoena and request for a videotaped deposition of her employer, True Entertainment, along with a motion for a protective order.

The filing also pertains to their prenuptial agreement.

According to the docs, Guobadia “argues that Wife’s desire to return to reality television or employment in the future constitutes a non-disclosure of material fact and misrepresentation, that renders the Prenuptial Agreement unenforceable.”

Addressing Guobadia’s claims that Williams agreed to be a stay-at-home mom and wife during their marriage and forgo her own career, the court found them to be invalid.

After starring on Bravo’sTheReal Housewives of Atlantafrom seasons 5-13, Williams left in September 2021, four months after theyannounced their engagement in May 2021. Earlier this year it was announcedshe would be returningfor the upcoming 16th season.

“Essentially, the crux of Husband’s argument could have been explicitly contained within the four corners of the parties’ Prenuptial Agreement, and it was not,” it continued.

Because the documents specify that “serving, conducting, or attempting to serve or conduct, any discovery whatsoever, either upon/toward the other Party or upon/toward any third-party, including” written discovery, taking depositions and issuing subpoenas violates the prenup, Williams contested Guobadia’s actions and the court ruled in her favor.

Williams first filed for divorce in February after 15 months of marriage. At the time,a source told PEOPLEthe split was due to an “ongoing matter.” Williams listed their marriage as “irretrievably broken.”

The two began the back-and-forth filings after disagreeing over the validity of their prenup. The occupancy of their marital home and Williams’ financial standing given her recent scripted development deal with NBC Universal were also points of contention.
