Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay fired back at her estranged husband Bryan Abasolo's divorce petition — and asked that he NOT be awarded fees for his legal bills in the case despite his request.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Lindsay asked that her ex be on the hook for any bills he racked up fighting her in court.
As we previously reported, Abasolo filed for divorce on January 1, 2024. He listed the date of separation as the day before, December 31, 2023.
In his petition, Abasolo demanded Lindsay pay him monthly spousal support. He said he only earned $1,700 per month working as a chiropractor and from side businesses.
Abasolo claimed he needed support to be able to move out of the home they currently share in Los Angeles. He said he
He said, “Neither of us wants to continue to live together.”
He added, “Our current living situation is very awkward and strained. We generally do not even talk to each other and try to avoid each other. Rachel has security cameras outside our home. Only Rachel has the credentials to the security cameras, and Rachel can monitor my comings and goings.”
“I want to move out of our family residence as soon as possible, but maintaining our standard of living is not financially feasible at this time,” he added. “I placed my career as a chiropractor on hold to move twice for Rachel’s career. These moves were detrimental to my Chiropractic business, while Rachel’s income and success as a media personality skyrocketed.”
Lindsay slammed her ex in court documents. She claimed she intended to “resolve this matter quietly, without court intervention, by way of a global settlement, which is forthcoming.”
“In the meantime, Bryan continues to reside in Rachel’s home, for which Rachel pays 90% of all expenses,” her lawyer revealed.
In her newly filed response, Lindsay did not answer whether her ex should be paid spousal support. She did not check the boxes to terminate his request for support nor did she check the box to award him support. Instead, she wrote “TBD.”
Lindsay agreed with her ex that the date of separation was December 31, 2023. However, she asked that both parties cover their own legal fees. As we previously reported, Lindsay hired Kim Kardashian's powerhouse lawyer Laura Wasser to represent her in the case.
