“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 claimed in his motion. “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.”

In addition to his request for spousal support, Abasolo is petitioning the judge to order Lindsay to pay $75,000 for his fees. According to Abasolo, he makes $1,300 per month and that amounts to less than his rent, dining and miscellaneous costs. A hearing is scheduled for July 10.

Abasolo further claimed that one of the “main contested issues” in their divorce is their shared L.A. home.

“Rachel is claiming that our Family Residence is her sole and separate property, even though I believe that the majority, if not all, of the $466,000 down payment on our Family Residence came from community property earned during our marriage,” Abasolo’s court docs read. “I require attorney’s fees and forensic accountant’s fees to compete with Rachel’s litigation team and secure my entitlement to one-half of our community property.”

Lindsay previously broke her silence on the divorce on January 5.

“I didn’t think I would get emotional. … First off I just want to say thank you for people who reached out. I’m still trying to reply to people,” she said during an episode of her “Higher Learning” podcast. “You just never know how great your circle is until you see all the people that reach out and love you. Obviously it’s a difficult time, if you’ve read the headlines, and you’re probably wondering why I would even work. But to be honest with you 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 was not ready to discuss the breakup in depth and was “trying to take it day by day.”
