Bryan Abasolo says his estranged wife, Rachel Lindsay, called him a “leech” after he was awarded $13,000 in monthly spousal support.
The chiropractor claimed in a court document submitted Monday and obtained by InTouch Thursday that one of his bi-monthly spousal support payments was electronically transferred to him with a confirmation text that read, “BofA: Glender Ruth Llc sent you $6,628.50 for ‘Temp Leech Money.’”
Instead of receiving one lump sum every month, Lindsay was court-ordered to make two monthly payments totaling $13,257 to her ex. Abasolo initially tried convincing a judge to award him $16,000 per month in early July.
“From day one, I have been committed to working cooperatively with Rachel and her professionals to amicably resolve this case,” Abasolo, 44, wrote in his filing, which also included a screenshot of the alleged “offensive” text.
“But Rachel continues to obstruct the process while spinning false narrative about her ‘cooperation’ to the court. She continues to instigate confrontation, just as she did prior to my filing for divorce.”
Abasolo, who filed for divorce from the “Bachelorette” alum, 39, in January due to “irreconcilable differences,” spoke poorly of her marital behavior in a previous court filing.
In his filing from July 2 obtained by People, he claimed his estranged wife subjected him to “years of her verbal manipulation” and never showed interest in his life.
“The reality is that I was the one stuck at home and stuck at work with a wife who never wanted to be around me during our marriage,” he said.
His filing came after Lindsay argued against his $16,000 monthly spousal support request.
“I am not flush with cash, as he believes me to be,” she wrote in a June 27 filing obtained by Page Six.
She also said she would run out of funds if she was held responsible for $75,000 of his legal fees, which he also requested.
Furthermore, she accused him of exaggerating a “glamorous” marital lifestyle in order to get more money from her.
Following their respective arguments, a judge granted the $13,000 monthly payment to Abasolo and mandated that Lindsay cough up $15,000 in attorney fees and $5,000 for forensic expert expenses.
In his latest filing, Abasolo also requested access to $35,000 of community property and that the reality star be hit with a $5,000 fine for holding the funds from him.
To support his case, he claimed Lindsay has $88,500 in Charles Schwab accounts and nearly $260,000 in her Bank of America account, which he said is marital property.
