The filing is part of Tuesday's court case in Montgomery County over how much each divorcing parent took out of joint bank accounts, and how much money they've made since filing for divorce in July.

Gosselin lawyers provided the papers to the TV show The Insider, which also had Jon as a guest twice last week.

"Jon also says that Kate isn't telling the truth when she claims there aren't any other liquid funds available to repay the marital estate. He claims Kate is in control of more than $1 million and accuses her of continuing to hide money," The Insider reported Sunday night.

The papers also allegedly claim Kate Gosselin took money from the same bank account that Kate says Jon emptied in the past month.

Philadelphia-based lawyer Mark Momjian told Radar Online this weekend that he believes Jon Gosselin has money coming from sources other than the TLC network.

According to court documents, TLC stopped paying the Kate and Jon Gosselin when shooting was halted on "Jon & Kate Plus 8" two weeks ago.

"We can't specifically verify whether he is getting paid but we think he is. The only person that can answer that is Jon Gosselin. We suspect he is though," Momjian told the Web site.

Momjian has filed court motions for alimony and child support for Kate Gosselin. Those motions, along with a demand for Jon Gosselin to return $230,000 in cash, will be heard Tuesday in a Norristown, Pa., court room.

Momjian didn't say where Jon Gosselin was getting money from. But Jon Gosselin has been making promotional appearances, and was a guest last week on two entertainment TV shows.

TMZ.com also reports that lawyer Mark Jay Heller may not be able to represent Jon Gosselin at the hearing, after Heller's sponsoring lawyer retracted his endorsement of Heller.

Heller is not licensed in the state of Pennsylvania and needs a registered lawyer to vouch for him.

In May, Jon Gosselin joked with the media he would never get divorced because he would need to pay child support for eight children.

Judge Arthur Tilson also will issue a ruling a contempt motion against Jon Gosselin in Montgomery County Family Court.

Jon Gosselin’s lawyers filed their own counterclaim last Tuesday in the same court.

Last weekend, Kate Gosselin’s lawyers claimed that Jon Gosselin emptied $230,000 from a money-market account, leaving Kate unable to pay the family’s bills.

Her lawyers filed a motion on Monday for the money to be returned and for Jon Gosselin to face the contempt charge.

The reality TV dad and his lawyer went on the offensive Monday night, claiming that Kate Gosselin didn’t account for a large amount of money to Judge Tilson.
