After months of legal wrangling, Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo’s divorce has been settled — and the former Bachelor has to pay huge damages to her ex.
On Tuesday, Jan. 7, the couple finalized their divorce, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE, and agreed to divide their property, cars and other personal items after the end of their four-year marriage.
Under the settlement, Abasolo, 44, will keep the couple’s Miami apartment, while Lindsay, 39, will keep their LA home in North Hollywood.

They will also both keep their wedding rings and Breitling watch – presumably a gift they both gave each other – and Lindsay will also keep her engagement ring from Bachelor and paintings and photographs by the artist Jad Najjar.
The couple’s vehicles will also be split, with Abasolo taking a 2021 Honda Accord while Lindsay will take a 2023 Porsche Macan.

In addition to dividing their assets, Lindsay was also ordered to pay the chiropractor $500,000 in restitution.
Under the settlement, the $39,771 she already paid her ex-husband in child support will be deducted from the payment, leaving Lindsay with a total of $460,229 owed to Abasolo.
The first half of the payment, $230,114.50, must be paid to him by January 17, while the remaining half must be paid by January 7, 2026, and is subject to interest at 3% per annum.
Abasolo waived his right to further spousal support, as did Lindsay.

In filings from May to August, the couple reviewed their finances as Abasolo sought spousal support and more than $75,000 for his legal fees.
In response, Lindsay criticized the chiropractor for “inflating his costs, of which he is the lion’s share [she] pays on his behalf,” and argued that his claim would “far exceed … his needs.” She also noted that the annual income he reported — $16,000 — “is less than he would [earn] if he worked at McDonalds.”

He continued to push for spousal support in a July filing, establishing his financial need as $16,275 per month and claiming his monthly income was only $1,341, and later that month Lindsay was ordered to pay him “temporary spousal support of $13,257 per month ” starting from July 15.
