Dr. Dreis requesting a separate trial to terminate his marital status with his estranged wife Nicole Young after 24 years of marriage.
His attorney Laura Wasser filed a motion of bifurcation with the assertion that Nicole’s “false allegations of domestic violence” prove that the exes' “marriage has irremediably broken down” and André “no longer desires to be married to [Nicole].”
In January, Nicole, 51, claimed that her estranged husband “held a gun to my head” in 2000 and 2001, “punched me in the head/face” in 1999 and that he “kicked down a door” while she hid “from his rage” in 2016,among other allegations of abuse.
