Jon Gosselin has been ordered to give his estranged wife Kate Gosselin $180,000.

A Pennsylvania judge has asked that Jon return the money that he took from his joint bank account with Kate, People reports. She originally claimed that Jon took a total of $230,000.

What happens to the rest of the money?

“The remaining sum of $55,000, which Ms. Gosselin used for household bills and expenses relating to the children, will be subject to further determination by the arbitrator at a later date,” said Kate’s lawyer, Mark Momjian.

“As difficult as this has been for me, I am pleased that the Court has ruled fairly on behalf of myself and my children. Now that this matter has been ruled on, I look forward to returning to private arbitration, as we have agreed to do, to resolve any remaining issues,” said Kate Gosselin.

If Jon doesn’t pay up by October 26, he may be ordered back to court to face contempt charges.

The two were in court on Tuesday to iron out their financial issues.
