An elderly woman is asking a judge to bar her husband from moving back into their Upper West Side apartment from a rehab facility while they are divorcing because she is worried about catching coronavirus, according to court papers.

Rhonda Stein, 81, says that her husband Irving Stein — who she claims “is an out of control alcoholic” — wants to move back into their West End Ave apartment which would put her health at risk since she has serious lung diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court petition from late Thursday.

Irving would require 24-hour rotating shifts of health care workers to come into the apartment and tend to him, while Rhonda has been strictly adhering to self-quarantine — not evening letting her sons visit her, the court papers say.

Irving is worth $4 million and can afford to find somewhere else to stay, the court documents say.

And Irving has had a much higher likelihood of exposure to the virus as he has been in two medical facilities since December, including at Mt. Sinai Hospital where he had surgery after he drunkenly fell Dec. 15 cracking four ribs, puncturing a lung and injuring his spine, the court papers say.

Rhonda — who married Irving in 1999 — said in an affidavit that he’s berated her on multiple occasions and she has “been fearful of [Irving] and his drunken behavior for a long time now.”

The octogenarian said she waited to file for divorce because Irving — who has frequently fallen injuring himself while he was drunk —  “had no option but to stay in the Rehabilitation Center,” according to her affidavit.

Now, Irving, “demands to move into the Apartment after exposure to coronavirus, along with healthcare aids who would be in and out every day. I simply cannot be exposed this way,” Rhonda said.

“While…I would be afraid of [Irving’s] return to the apartment any day, it is now a matter of life and death,” she said.

“If he insists on leaving the Rehabilitation Center, he has the financial wherewithal to rent an apartment where he can live without putting my life in danger,” the affidavit said.

Lawyers for Rhonda and Irving did not immediately return requests for comment.
