Florida Rep. Alan Grayson appeared in an Orlando family court Monday for a hearing in which he accused his estranged wife, Lolita Grayson, of being a bigamist.

According to the outspoken Democrat, his wife of 25 years married him in 1990, while she was still married to another man. As a result, he is seeking to annul his marriage and protect his $30 million fortune, reports the Orlando Sentinel.

The hearing comes almost one year after Lolita accused her husband of physically abusing her. Grayson, however, has flipped the script, calling her a bigamist. His attorneys also characterized her as opportunistic and misleading at Monday's hearing.

Meanwhile, Lolita's lawyers described the 57-year-old congressman as an ungrateful, mean and cheap man who was unwilling to share his wealth with a woman who supported him for decades and gave birth to his five children.

Court documents filed by Grayson claim his wife was married to a man named Robert Carson and that the two did not officially divorce until March 1994.

On the other hand, Lolita argues she divorced her previous husband in 1981 in Guam, but the paperwork burned in a fire.

"Unbeknownst to Mr. Grayson, Lolita Grayson was still married to another man and was not divorced or widowed," states the congressman's April 2014 court filing, reports MSNBC. The documents also accuse her of having "represented herself as single in order to induce Mr. Grayson to marry her."

"The law is abundantly clear," Grayson's attorney Mark NeJame said, according to News 13. "In fact, it's a felony if you marry someone else while you're married. That's how serious this law is."

On the contrary, Lolita's attorneys said the congressman is just trying to avoid paying alimony.

"No wife of 25 years, who has five children of the marriage, should have to go back 34 years ago to a foreign country to try and evidence her divorce from a prior marriage. That's not what the law asks for," said Mark Longwell, Lolita Grayson's attorney.

The judge will decide if an annulment can be granted on grounds of bigamy, which is a third-degree felony in the state of Florida, after another hearing.
