Police have been called to the Connecticut home of former New York Yankees star Carl Pavano nine times since 2024 amid a toxic prenup feud with his ex-wife.
World Series winner Pavano and his ex-wife, Alissa, still share a home in Fairfield but are in the midst of a dispute over a prenup agreement with ‘tens of millions of dollars’ at stake, according to CT Insider.
Alissa wants the prenup that she signed in Florida before they got married in the Dominican Republic in 2011 thrown out. She alleges Carl coerced her into signing it by threatening to abandon her.
The couple, who share three children aged 17, 16 and 11, moved from Florida to Connecticut in 2018 and they still share custody of the children at their lavish 9,000-square-foot home.
The prenup was initially ruled valid by State Superior Court Judge Thomas O’Neill in January 2025 but he did grant Alissa a $300,000 one-off alimony payment. The judge also told Carl to buy her a new home worth up to $1million.
Court documents allege that Carl ‘demanded’ Alissa sign the prenup, while she has also accused him of showing ‘intense’ and ‘controlling’ behavior towards her during their relationship.

Alissa, a lifestyle influencer, claims she was forced to walk on ‘eggshells’ around Carl, who allegedly insisted she abandon ‘her residence, potential employment, and all financial independence.’
Separately, she also filed an application for relief from physical abuse. In that, Alissa alleges she has ‘suffered significant abuse and coercive control by Carl that has recently escalated to a degree where I no longer feel safe in the marital residence.’
Alissa has also sensationally claimed Carl ‘planted drugs in her belongings’, ‘hid a secret camera in her bedroom’ and ‘stole items of jewelry’ from her.
‘A prenuptial agreement is an acceptable way for individuals, prior to marriage, to condition how their financial interests and responsibilities will be determined after marriage,’ Alissa’s lawyers alleged in a brief.
‘It should not be an acceptable way for a monied spouse who has already started a family with his significant other to force her to give up her financial independence, and then to extract financial advantages in the premarital agreement under the threat of taking the minor children away from her and leaving her destitute.’
Carl played in MLB for 14 years but only made 26 starts for the Yankees in three seasons after a series of injury problems, despite signing a four-year contract worth $39.5m
In August 2006, while with the Yankees, he broke two ribs after he hit a truck with his Porsche in West Palm Beach. He only told the Yankees about the incident two weeks later.
He also played for the Montreal Expos, Florida Marlins, Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins. Pavano was part of the Marlins team that won a World Series in 2003, while he was also named an All-Star in 2003.
The Daily Mail has contacted attorneys for both Carl and Alissa Pavano for comment.
