Josh Hall is denying he asked for $65,000 per month in spousal support from his estranged wife Christina Haack.

The Christina on the Coast star, 41, (who recently reverted to her maiden name, Haack, instead of Hall) alleged her ex, 44, made what she called an "outrageous" request in a recent legal filing:

"Josh Hall is requesting $65,000 per month in spousal support from [Christina] on a 2 year, 9 month marriage, which is outrageous when he is self-supporting," the documents says. She also claims that Josh "just paid over $70,000 to pay off the lease" on a Bentley and therefore "has no need for spousal support."

Josh took to social media Wednesday, Oct. 16, to make a rare public statement addressing the claim.

In an Instagram Stories post, he alleged, in part, that the "legal declarations" made by Christina were "riddled with lies and assumptions."

He also took aim at her lawyer, Matthew S. DeArmey. Addressing the attorney directly, Josh wrote, "Interesting tactic for someone who is a licensed attorney and took an oath of integrity. Pretty sure making provably false statements to a judge is unethical."

A representative for Christina tells PEOPLE her attorney has no comment.

A representative for Josh also shared a statement with PEOPLE denying he asked for that sum in spousal support. “This filing is riddled with provably false statements. For one, Josh never requested $65,000 in support. That’s false," the statement reads in part.

Josh did request spousal support from Christina, though not a specific amount, in his initial divorce petition on July 15. Christina's response to that filing requested neither party be allowed to receive support.

The pair's latest clash came to light due to an ongoing dispute the exes are having about Christina's Leiper's Fork, Tenn. farmhouse, which a source previously told PEOPLE Josh has been living in since their split. (Josh moved his belongings out of their shared $12 million mansion in Newport Beach, Calif. in early August.)

The 23-acre property, which Christina purchased before she and Josh met, is the setting of her HGTV spinoff series, Christina in the Country, and when not in use by the star, is rented out as a vacation property.

A September legal agreement between Christina and Josh stated that he would be allowed to stay there as long as iti wasn't being rented. However, on Oct. 5, Christina listed the home for sale for $4.5 million.

Announcing the listing news on her Instagram Stories, she wrote to her followers that she was "excited for a new venture in business & real estate," before sharing an apparent message to Josh in a follow-up post.

"I guess 'Leiper's Fork' is gonna have to come off the bio soon," she began the Instagram Story, as an apparent nod to Josh recently updating the location in his Instagram bio. "Time to go back to reality soon," she added.

Josh filed an ex parte to block the sale, which Christina refuted. She claims in her response that the sale of the house is business as usual in her line of work as "a reality television personality, an interior designer and real estate investor who acquires, develops and rents those investment properties," noting "the property was featured in her television program and operates as a vacation rental property."

Josh's representative claimed in his statement that the Nashville house "was never an investment house. Christina was in Nashville so much she had to make a public statement about it, calling this their ‘second home.’ Nobody spends so much time at an ‘investment home’ that they must clarify why they’re often there."

Christina has filmed two seasons of Christina in the Country at the house, the second of which debuts November 12. The show documents her expanding her design business in the Nashville area and spending quality time with her family, including her three children — Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9 (whom she shares with ex Tarek El Moussa) and Hudson, 5 (whom she shares with ex Ant Anstead).

Josh is Christina's third husband. They began dating around March 2021, went public with their relationship that July, revealed to fans that they were married in April 2022 and celebrated their nuptials again in a November 2022 wedding in Maui. Their divorce documents confirmed they had secretly wed in a private courthouse ceremony in October 2021.

Josh cited "irreconcilable differences" in his divorce filing.
