Kent Lindemuth and Vikki Lindemuth are clashing on his request to a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge to postpone the appointment of the Chapter 11 trustee appointed to handle his portion of the couple’s bankruptcy, the Topeka (Kansas) Capital-Journal reported. Kent Lindemuth, a Topeka developer, has filed a three-sentence motion to postpone the appointment of the trustee until U.S. District Court judge could rule on his appeal of the order appointing the trustee. “I request the stay because I do not want liquidation of any property before a decision on the appeal,” Kent Lindemuth wrote in the motion he filed on July 27. On Tuesday, Vikki Lindemuth filed an objection in bankruptcy court to postponing appointment of the chapter 11 trustee. Kent and Vikki Lindemuth, who have been married 44 years, are in the midst of a divorce as well as a bankruptcy. Their estate is estimated to be valued at $16 million to $20 million, according to a lawyer representing Kent Lindemuth.
