Twitter lawsuit: Stuart Strumwasser has launched a lawsuit against his wife Jennifer Johnson for with-holding millions she allegedly made from being an early investor in Twitter

A divorced New York father is suing his ex-wife for Twitter stock worth up to $50 million he claims she hid from him during their marriage - while making him pay $2,465 a month in child-support payments even though he was broke.

However, Johnson allegedly visited her first husband while on the West Coast and met one of the founders of then start-up Twitter, in which she invested around $50,000, according to Strumwasser's lawsuit.

Brooklyn resident, Stuart Strumwasser, 47, who has recently launched his own natural soda brand claims his Columbia educated wife, Jennifer Johnson, 46, told him she was taking a trip to see her brother in tech-capital San Francisco to visit her brother just before their divorce in 2006.

It has been revealed that Johnson's first husband is Gregg Kidd, who was a former colleague of Twitter co-founde Jack Dorsey.

Strumwasser claims that he 'was home watching their children, and the parties were acting as a 'marital team' so Johnson could make the trip.'

However, 'Unbeknownst to Strumwasser, Johnson was holding business meetings with one or more of the creators of Twitter.

'The dad of twin nine-year-old boys with Johnson, believes that she invested upwards of $50,000 into Twitter, while they were still married and six months before their divorce.

He says in his lawsuit that the investment made in Twitter should be considered part of their marital assets.

Strumwasser's lawsuit claims that he discovered his wife's allged deception when he recently looked at her LinkedIn page.

On her profile is the biographical detail that 'she is a first round investor in Twitter'.

Johnson, who now works as the CEO of tech company StockTouch apparently never told her husband that she had invested in Twitter - even as the couple reached a divorce settlement in 2007.

Indeed, at that time, both parties were ordered to make full disclosures of their financial situations to their Manhattan matrimonial judge.

The omission, Strumwasser claims, constitutes fraud.

Johnson, told The New York Post that her ex is 'out of his mind' and called the allegations 'utterly ridiculous.'

Strumwasser has been making child support payments to his two children since the divorce of $2,465 a month - despite his irregular income.

He claims that amount is three times the legal requirement.

Strumwasser wants back $120,000 in child support payments plus 30 percent of the Twitter shares.
