According to court documents obtained by Us weekly, Abasolo, 44, claimed that Lindsay, 39, is still using her marital finances and doesn’t have shared access. The documents also show that the exes still live together despite their separation.
Abasolo and Lindsay met in season 13 The BacheloretteShe married two years later in 2019. The couple was married for four years and moved from Miami to Los Angeles together. Abasolo filed for divorce in January.
In his new court documents, Abasolo claimed living together was “awkward and strained” as they didn’t communicate and “avoided” each other. According to the chiropractor, he wants to vacate the property but needs money to put down a deposit for a new apartment.
Former Bachelorette couple Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo may have shocked Bachelor Nation with their divorce, but the former couple have been open about their problems for years. Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday, January 2, that Abasolo, 43, has filed for dissolution of his marriage to Lindsay, 38, after four years. The court documents we obtained state: […]
“I would like to move out of our family home as soon as possible, but maintaining our standard of living is not financially feasible at this time,” he claimed in his application. “I put my career as a chiropractor on hold to switch twice for Rachel’s career. These moves adversely affected my chiropractic business while Rachel’s income and success as a media personality skyrocketed.”
Lindsay later worked as a lawyer in Dallas The Bachelorette. When the show ended, she put her law practice on hold to pursue a career as a television host and podcaster. Lindsay has also written a memoir: Miss me with thatand a novel, Real love.

Lindsay has not responded to any of Abasolo’s recent claims. Us asked me for a comment.
In addition to his request for spousal support, Abasolo is asking the judge to order Lindsay to pay $75,000 toward his fees. According to Abasolo, he earns $1,300 per month and that is less than his rent, food and other expenses. A hearing is scheduled for July 10.
Abasolo further claimed that one of the “main points of contention” in their divorce was their shared home in LA.
“Rachel maintains that our family residence is her sole and separate property, although I believe that most, if not all, of the $466,000 down payment on our family residence came from community property that we acquired during our marriage.” Abasolo’s court documents say. “I need legal and forensic accounting fees to compete with Rachel’s litigation team and secure my claim to half of our community property.”
Lindsay had already broken her silence about the divorce on January 5th.
“I didn’t think I would get emotional. …First of all, I would like to thank the people who reached out. “I’m still trying to answer people,” she said during an episode of her “Higher Learning” podcast. “You just never know how big your circle is until you see all the people reaching out to you and loving you. Obviously it’s a difficult time if you’ve read the headlines and are probably wondering why I should even work. But to be honest, I need to distract myself from myself, and the best way to do that is to do something that I love, and I love ‘Higher Learning’.”
Lindsay further noted that she isn’t ready to discuss the breakup in depth and is “trying to take it day by day.”
