The actress, 29, claims that her mother Nuala Barton has stolen money to buy a $7.8 million Beverly Hills home, where Mischa is not welcome to visit, according to court papers obtained by PEOPLE.
Alex Weingarten, Mischa's lawyer, calls Nuala "a greedy stage mother" in a statement to PEOPLE.
"From the outset, Nuala positioned herself to siphon her daughter’s hard-earned money by purportedly acting as her talent manager – a role for which Nuala had absolutely no experience or training," Weingarten says.
According to the complaint, neither Nuala nor Barton's father Paul has had a job independent of Barton in over a decade.
In addition to allegedly taking money from her over the course of her acting career, Nuala has "exploited [Mischa]'s name to start a handbag line and a fashion boutique," a source tells PEOPLE.
Mischa is suing for damages and court costs.
The actress's own home was in foreclosure last year. According to papers obtained by PEOPLE, she was $100,000 delinquent on her mortgage.
