Winter Garden real estate investor James Larweth sued over financial records

August 14, 2026 - 20:14

A new legal battle has emerged in Winter Garden as Leah Larweth filed lawsuits against several entities connected to her estranged husband, real estate investor James Larweth. The filings seek access to financial records and accuse him of diverting millions of dollars from the couple's jointly owned company to fund personal property purchases.

Court documents show that Leah Larweth is demanding transparency regarding the management of their shared business interests. She alleges that James Larweth used company funds to acquire multiple real estate holdings without her knowledge or consent, potentially hiding assets as the couple moves through divorce proceedings.

The lawsuits target specific corporate structures tied to James Larweth, with requests for detailed accounting, transaction histories, and property deeds. Her legal team argues that the records are essential to ensure a fair division of marital assets and to uncover any undisclosed financial activity.

James Larweth has not yet filed a formal response in court, and no hearings have been scheduled at this time. The case highlights the growing complexity of high-net-worth divorces, where business holdings and personal finances often overlap in ways that require judicial oversight.

Local real estate observers note that the outcome could have broader implications for how investor partnerships are structured in the region. For now, the focus remains on the court's role in determining whether the requested records will be released and what they might reveal about the couple's financial dealings.
