Tisha Campbell's money woes came to light before her 2018 split from Duane Martin. In their Chapter 7 bankruptcy documents, it was revealed that they had accrued over $15 million in debt, as the Daily Mail reported at the time. By that time, their roles in "My Wife & Kids" and "All Of Us" had long ended. The couple's combined monthly income was reported to be just $7,655, with only $200 in cash and $173 stashed in a bank account. Yet, they owed $455,000 to City National Bank and $39,000 to American Express and other creditors. 

However, after Campbell filed for divorce from Martin, she accused him of concealing money despite their severe financial issues. Martin received a $1.4 million loan from his friends, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The funds were meant to save Martin and Campbell's home from foreclosure. However, Martin did not list the property in the bankruptcy filing. He also allegedly hid over $2 million in assets through his company, Roxe LLC.

Since a judge had already ruled to eliminate most of their debts in the original 2016 ruling, Martin was sued by the bankruptcy trustee, demanding that their previous debt relief be revoked. In 2019, the suit was settled with the family house home for $2.45 million to a private buyer. Of the proceeds, $1.5 million went back to Smith, $485k went to the bankruptcy estate, and just $170,560 went to Martin's company. Throughout this process, Campbell moved forward with her divorce from Martin, even demanding spousal support.
