Rachel Lindsay reacts to her estranged husband Bryan Abasolo’s request
According to RadarOnline, Lindsay is asking the judge to deny Bryan Abasolo’s request that she pay his legal bills in their ongoing divorce and instead order Abasolo to pay it himself payments.
Additionally, she explained that she hopes to resolve their divorce “quietly, without court intervention.” Furthermore, Lindsay says she still hopes to do so “through a global agreement that is imminent.”
“In the meantime, Bryan continues to reside in Rachel’s home and Rachel must pay 90% of all expenses,” her lawyer said. Laura Wasser, is said to have been confirmed.
According to this source, Lindsay has not yet met Abasolo’s general request for spousal support. The newspaper added that she “did not tick the box to end his request for assistance.” However, she also did not “check the box to support him”. Instead, she listed “TBD” about her recently filed response.
A brief summary of the couple’s divorce proceedings so far
As The Shade Room previously reported, Abasolo filed for divorce from Lindsay after four years of marriage in January. At the time, Abasolo listed their separation date as December 31, 2023.
At the time, it was revealed that Abasolo was asking for spousal support from Lindsay.
Furthermore, he also mentioned his decision on social media.
A few days after the divorce news emerged, Lindsay broke her silence on the matter, according to The Shade Room.
“Obviously, these are difficult times – if you’ve read the headlines… and you’re probably wondering why I’m at work,” she said during an appearance on her ‘Higher Learning’ podcast. “But to be honest with you, I need to distract myself and the best way to do that is to do something that I love….”
At the time, Lindsay explained that she would speak more publicly about the issue later.
Then, earlier this month, Abasolo reportedly asked Lindsay for emergency spousal support, according to The Shade Room. At that time, Abasolo asked Lindsay to pay at least $75,000 in legal fees for him. Additionally, Abasolo alleged that his monthly income was lower than that of Lindsay. So, he will also need her support in moving out of their shared home in Los Angeles, California.
“Rachel and I are cohabitating at our Family Residence, but neither of us wants to continue living together. Our current living situation is very awkward and stressful. I would like 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 asserted.
