On July 10, the former couple made virtual appearances in court related to their ongoing divorce, and after back-and-forth over Abasolo's request for spousal support, the judge granted the chiropractor's wishes. According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, Lindsay, 39, was ordered to pay Abasolo, 44, "temporary spousal support in the sum of $13,257 per month," starting on July 15, with no end date specified. The former Bachelorette was also ordered to pay a total of $20,000 related to Abasolo's legal fees by Sept. 3. Why Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay Regrets Not Having Prenup with Bryan Abasolo: 'We Weren't on the Same Page' Abasolo originally filed for divorce from Lindsay after four years of marriage on Jan. 2, citing irreconcilable differences. In the months since the filing, the couple has gone back and forth over their relationship – and about how the filing itself was communicated. In a June 26 filing, Lindsay alleged that Abasolo told her he had filed for divorce over text after they'd "had a conversation in my kitchen during which he failed to mention that he had filed" on Jan. 2.

I just wanted to let you know that I officially filed,'" she claimed, adding that she was "shocked" by the news. Abasolo refuted his ex's claims, providing new text messages from their conversation and alleging that she "wasn't surprised or shocked" that he filed for divorce. Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo's Relationship Timeline Finances have also been a topic of debate between the former couple – who got engaged on season 21 of The Bachelorette and wed in 2019 — in the months since Abasolo filed. He originally requested spousal support in a May 1 filing, where he requested emergency financial support and $75,000 for his legal fees from his ex, and claimed his annual income is $16,000. Lindsay then alleged he was misrepresenting his income and that he's "not in need" of spousal support as a result of his "ability and opportunity to generate income," which "enable him to support himself." She also pointed out that his reported annual income was "less than he would [earn] if he worked at McDonalds," based on the minimum wage in Los Angeles, and that she has been "paying for virtually all of Bryan’s expenses, including those expenses associated with her house, which he refuses to vacate," since their separation on Dec. 31, 2023. achel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo attend the Build Series to discuss 'The Bachelorette' at Build Studio on September 30, 2019 in New York City.

While the judge did not order Lindsay to pay Abasolo the full amount he requested, he will still receive more than 80% of the funds he requested. The pair is due in court again in September for a mandatory settlement conference.
