Former CBS anchor Josh Elliott has filed for divorce from his wife, Liz Cho, after nearly a decade of marriage — and they are now embroiled in a vicious court battle.

In Connecticut court papers obtained by Page Six, Elliott filed to end his marriage to the ABC anchor on June 20, 2025.

“The marriage of the parties has broken down irretrievably,” the court papers read, as Elliott is asking for a “dissolution of the marriage” and for “an equitable distribution of all property, both real and personal.”

Cho responded to her estranged husband’s complaint on Nov. 6 — and filed a cross-complaint against him — also stating their marriage “has broken down irretrievably.”

The divorce turned nasty when Cho requested “copies of written correspondence, emails, cards, WeChat messages, Facebook messages, social media messaging, instant messaging, telephonic text messages, transcribed voicemail messages or any written forms of communication” between Elliott and “any person, other than the defendant, with whom [Elliott] have or have had a romantic and/or sexual relationship, from July 11, 2015 to the present.”

Elliott responded, objecting to the request on the “grounds that the time frame of the request for production is unreasonable, unnecessary, harassing and not likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.”

Cho is also asking for “monies spent for the benefit of any person with whom you have had a romantic and/or sexual relationship, other than the defendant,” “property given or transferred by you to any person with whom you have had a romantic and/or sexual relationship, other than the defendant,” “monies spent for your benefit by any person with whom you have had a romantic and/or sexual relationship with, other than the defendant…”

She demanded to inspect records, including “copies of all monthly checking account statements…” from Jan. 1, 2020 through the date of his response, as well as “all documents which reflect your travel, personal and business” including “travel agency invoices, travel agency itineraries, hotel, motel, motor inn, or inn receipts and bills, airline receipts and bills, limousine or car service receipts and bills.”

Cho is also requesting from Elliott — who was ousted from CBS in 2017 — “communications in connection with the search for any employment,” including “social media communications, text message and emails, offers of employment, calendars, agreements.”

Elliott objected to the requests.

A source close to the couple told Page Six, “This is standard in a divorce. Her lawyer is doing a thorough document request. The documents she is requesting are standard.” The insider also insisted there is no evidence Elliott had a relationship with anyone outside the marriage.

Then, on Jan. 29, Cho filed a motion for contempt against her ex regarding their jointly-owned marital Connecticut residence, as they have continued to reside there amid the divorce proceedings.

In the court docs, the “Eyewitness News” anchor explained how Elliott arranged for a moving truck to come to the marital residence while she was on a vacation with her daughter from a previous marriage on Jan. 19, 2026.

Cho claimed Elliott moved a “significant amount of furniture and furnishings from the marital residence,” along with their “two Portuguese Water dogs,” who she claims were “supposed to stay in the marital residence.”

She claimed he has not returned her personal property that was removed from the home despite her requests.

“On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, [Cho] realized that she was missing a valuable watch and earrings from her jewelry bag,” the court docs read. “As [Elliott] s the only other person who had access to the missing watch and jewelry, [Cho] believes [Elliott] is in possession of such personal property…”

She claimed his alleged actions are a “willful violation” of the court’s orders and requested the former anchor be sanctioned.

The source claimed Elliott was the one to take care of the dogs and that he took “a small amount of furniture.”

Elliott responded to her filing, objecting to her request and claiming her allegations are “false and inflammatory.”

He claimed in court papers, “[Cho] alleges [Elliott] ‘ransacked’ and ‘abandoned’ the marital residence — claims that are patently false and intended to annoy, harass and intimidate [Elliott].

“[Elliott] did not ransack the marital home. He did not damage the property. He did not render the residence uninhabitable. He removed limited personal property and furnishings so he would have a safe haven from [Cho’s] escalating and erratic behavior direct at not only [Elliott], but his minor child as well.”

He continued to defend his actions in a separate filing, “[Elliott] removed only limited furniture items and furnishings, many from the basement, solely to furnish a new residence after removing himself and his child from a hostile environment created by [Cho]. All property remains intact and subject to equitable distribution.”

Elliott responded of the jewelry claim, “Perhaps most egregious is [Cho’s] baseless accusation that [Elliott] stole her jewelry. This allegation is made without evidence, without corroboration and without even a good-faith attempt to verify the truth.”

He then accused her of “monitoring and listening to [Elliott’s] private phone calls; Rifling through [Elliott’s] personal belongings and closet; Leaving the marital residence for extended periods without communication despite the presence of two dogs requiring daily care” and more claims.

He is requesting that the court deny her motion for contempt. The case remains ongoing with a court hearing scheduled for March 20.

Lawyers for Cho and Elliott did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Elliott, 54, and Cho, 55, met while working for ABC and got engaged after two years of dating.

The Eyewitness News anchor tied the knot with Elliott in July 2015 in a Montecito, Calif., ceremony. Their last public appearance was in 2016.

She was previously married to Evan Gottlieb from 2008 to 2012, while Elliott had a previous marriage to Priya Narang. They both share one daughter from their previous relationships.

While Cho has been with the network since 2003, her estranged husband worked for ABC’s “Good Morning America” from 2011 to 2014.

He was briefly with NBC before joining CBS in March 2016 as CBSN’s lead daytime anchor, but was fired nearly a year later in February 2017.

Elliott announced on air that he was stepping down from CBS’s digital channel for a larger role at CBS News, allegedly blindsiding his bosses with the announcement.

A source told Page Six at the time, “Josh was told he had shown bad judgment by making the announcement, and was walked out of the building by security.”

CBS confirmed to us in a statement, “CBS News and Josh Elliott are parting ways. Josh will no longer be reporting for CBS News.”

A second source then told us, “Josh was told by his exec producer to make the announcement on Friday, but the plan was never relayed up the chain of command. David Rhodes was embarrassed, so he fired Josh, who didn’t do much more than thank his colleagues at CBSN. This was of a lack of communication at CBS News, and Josh was fired to cover up their mistake.”

Elliott is now eyeing a return to television, as Awful Announcing reported he is in the running to join Gayle King and Nate Burleson on CBS Mornings.
