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.

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.

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.
