Kate Gosselin will appeal a court ruling that mandates she pay her former marriage counselor.

Kate Gosselin better be ready to dig deep into her pockets.

The controversial reality star, 38, has been ordered to pay her former marriage therapist more than $10,000 after a dispute over a bill landed her in court.

The counselor, Sylvia Lafair, claimed she flew to Los Angeles at Gosselin's request to counsel her and then-husband Jon Gosselin in March 2009.

The pair, whose declining marriage was cemented into TV history through TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8," divorced in 2009 ? and the therapist claimed she never received a dime.

Lafair sued last year over the unpaid fees for the services and travel.

Gosselin, however, testified last week that she never had a contract with Lafair, who heads Creative Energy Options in White Haven, Pa.

Gosselin lives about 50 miles away in Sinking Spring.

But Magisterial District Judge Gerald Feissner ruled May 13 that Gosselin must pay Lafair's company about $10,300.

Gosselin's attorney told The Standard-Speaker of Hazleton that he appealed on Tuesday.
