Harvey Weinstein is facing a new legal battle as his ex-wife is trying to pocket some of the disgraced movie mogul's rapidly dwindling fortune before it is all gone.

Eve Chilton initiated enforcement proceedings back in October asking that Weinstein hand over approximately $5 million for their three daughters: Lily, Emma and Ruth.

Lily is 22 and lives in Los Angeles, Emma is 19 and in college and 15-year-old Ruth is still in high school.

That money 'includes more than $1.4 million in basic child support payments; $500,000 for healthcare; $124,000 for statutory add-ons; $500,000 for college and college prep; and various other expenses, plus money still owed to Chilton from the recent sale of a Westport, Conn., property,' reports the New York Daily News.

First wives club: Harvey Weinstein, 65, began dating Eve Chilton when she was working as his assistant at Miramax in 1986 with the pair marrying a year later (couple above in 1999 at the Academy Awards)

Eve (left with Renee Zellweger in 2002, right with Weinstein in 2004) was a blueblood who spent her summers on Martha's Vineyard

Eve grew concerned about getting these payments when one of Harvey's lawyers allegedly called one of her lawyers to say that the mogul planned to stop providing child support for his ex.

She appeared in court on Thursday in Manhattan for the latest hearing in the case, which her husband was excused from.

Her lawyers did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com.

Eve was working as an assistant for Weinstein at Miramax back in 1986 when she caught her boss' attention, and within a year the two were exchanging vows.

At that time there were no films with Oscar buzz or parties filled with A-list stars surrounding the couple, and Weinstein was far from the wealthy executive he would become one day.

Eve on the other hand was the well-off daughter of a prominent New England family who enjoyed summers on Martha's Vineyard, meaning that it was Weinstein who appeared to be marrying above his rank.

And for the next two decades, as the money started pouring in and the A-list stars piled on, Eve stood quietly by her husband's side while giving birth to their three daughters.

The couple's union came crashing down in 2004 however, and they soon went on their separate ways after agreeing to the terms of their divorce.

In Weinstein's case that was into the arms of the two-decades younger British-born designer Georgina Chapman, with whom he now has a daughter India, 7, and 4-year-old son Dashell.

In the case of Eve it was to towards a more peaceful existence in the suburbs, where she remarried Sal Martirano.

The couple quickly combined their families as well, with Eve's new husband having two sons from his previous relationship that were roughly the same age as her daughters.

Photos of the pair on Facebook show the mother-of-three beaming alongside her new beau.

That was not always the case during her time with Weinstein, with Eve usually seen trailing him on a red carpet or sitting silently beside her husband as he shook hands and schmoozed whenever he got the chance at events and openings.

And Eve was no fan of small talk or public spectacle, according to those who interviewed her husband.

Among the many major profiles of Weinstein that ran over the years in publications such as Vanity Fair, New York, the New Yorker and The New York Times there was little to no mention of Eve and never a single comment from the wife of America's most infamously temperamental film executive.

That was because Eve, unlike her husband, did not care to be a public person or offer up any private information about her family.

This approach was likely the result of her upbringing and her family's ties to some of this nation's most esteemed forefathers.

Her mother Maude was a descendant of Edmund Randolph, the first Attorney General of the United States, and her great-grandfather founded the nation's first global law firm, Hunton and Williams.

Eve's father Tom meanwhile was an investment adviser who worked with clients in the Boston area as well as on Nantucket and the Vineyard.

The family also belonged to a number of prestigious clubs, most notably The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Bed with a view: The two kept the details of their divorce settlement under wraps, but it was revealed that Eve gained possession of their 5,500 square-foot apartment at 88 Central Park West

Stairway to heaven: She eventually sold off the 5-bedroom, 6 ½ bath apartment for $23 million

That is the all-but-impossible-to-join establishment that after three years of deliberating finally approved New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his supermodel wife Gisele for membership this past summer.

Eve headed to New York after college, and former Miramax employee Mark Lispky speaks about the relationship that blossomed between her and Weinstein as soon as she began working at the company in Peter Biskind's 2004 book Down and Dirty Pictures.

'It seemed like not even a day [passed] before he was all over her,' said Lipsky, who was head of distribution at the time.

'For possibly a couple weeks or so there were a dozen roses on her desk when we walked in to work, to the point where we had to confront him and say: "You can't do this, it's an office not your personal, sexual playground.'

The pair were enamored however according to their fellow employees, who began calling the pair 'Beauty and the Beast.'

They married in 1987, and Eve and her sister Maude soon became crucial test audience members for Weinstein, who managed to earn the ire of the women when he made them sit through 'Reservoir Dogs.'

Eve is depicted as loving and devoted and selfless by all those who speak of her in the book, whether she was trying to get her husband to see a trainer, remodeling his office or avoiding the gossip and petty disputes her husband always found himself involved in.

Weinstein and Eve welcomed their first daughter Lily in 1995, followed by Emma in 1998 and in 2002 had Ruth.

Many of the sexual harassment incidents that were revealed in The New York Times expose occurred during these pregnancies or just after one of the three births.

Weinsten was also quarantined for two months at the turn of the century after coming down with a bacterial infection while on vacation in St Bart's, never offering up more of an explanation at the insistence of Eve according to a 2002 New Yorker profile written by Ken Auletta.

In 2004 the divorce was finalized, but the two still attended events together as though they were a couple, showing up in November of that year for the 32nd Annual Promise Ball in New York City.

The two kept the details of their divorce settlement under wraps, but it was revealed that Eve gained possession of their 5,500 square-foot apartment at 88 Central Park West.

She eventually sold off the 5-bedroom, 6 ½ bath apartment for $23 million, before movie to Rye and marrying Martirano.
