Robyn Gardner was in the middle of a bitter alimony battle with her ex-husband when she disappeared in Aruba, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Robyn married Kenneth Gardner in 1998. The two separated by 2007, and their divorced was finalized May 6, 2009.

As part of their separation settlement, Kenneth was ordered to pay Robyn $2,000 per month for 36 months, as well as two lump sum payments of $15,000 in October of 2009 and 2010.

In paperwork exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com from the Circuit Court for Frederick County in Maryland, Kenneth petitioned to modify the alimony earlier this year and Robyn opposed.

Prior to their split, the couple lived well in suburban Washington, D.C. They had an expensive house and drove a Mercedes Benz. But their home had two mortgages and then Kenneth Gardner lost his job with a construction company.

The court ordered his request for alimony modification to be head by a mediator, and a settlement conference is scheduled for October 7, 2011.

As RadarOnline.com reported earlier today, authorities in Aruba believe Robyn Gardner is dead. She was in the Caribbean with Gary Giordano, who is the last person known to see Robyn alive.

After reporting the woman missing - he said she'd been pulled out to sea while they were snorkeling -- Giordano was arrested as he attempted to leave Aruba, and he is being detained pending a court hearing on Monday.

Kenneth Gardner's attorney had "no comment" about her client's divorce case.

Boyfriend is suspicious. I think he knew his gf was going on the trip w this guy to get $ for them (pimp) and it backfired. I'm curious if the ex husband might have knew the killer too.

Her pimp er boyfriend has been on Nancy Grace. He knew him too which is real suspicious. Weird case. Natalie was a naive 17 year old this lady has been around at 35. Sounds suspicious drug deal gone bad?

And we all know what happen to Natalie Holloway unfortunately and the location is the same not to say Gary had anything to do with Natalie Holloway but at the same time Aruba doesn't speak well for disapearance of people

I agree and disagree with you Ted. A boyfriend wouldn't have accepted his gf going off to Aruba with a male friend.But for Gary Giardano he has a very questionable past with woman.
