As part of the settlement, Lindsay (an attorney, 39) is required to pay Abasolo (a chiropractor, 44) a $500,000 equalization payment, adjusted for prior spousal support payments. Additionally, Lindsay retains ownership of their North Hollywood home, her engagement ring, and a Porsche Macan, while Abasolo keeps their Miami condo and a Honda Accord.

Reflecting on the financial implications of the divorce, Lindsay has expressed regret over not having a prenuptial agreement. “I wouldn't get married without a prenup,” Lindsay said. She shared that the lack of a prenup left her “financially constrained,” impacting her ability to pursue certain personal and professional projects.

“I had to make concessions that I didn't necessarily want to do,” Lindsay said on the Jan. 10 episode of her Higher Learning with Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay podcast. “And in order to say, my peace of mind is priceless at the end of the day. And I really want to start rebuilding and I want to move forward. And I'm able to do that now. And that feels really, really good that I can start the process of, like, okay. Let's rebuild."

This high-profile case highlights the significance of prenuptial agreements, even for couples who may initially feel confident in their mutual financial understandings. Prenups can provide clarity and protection for both parties, potentially preventing contentious disputes and financial strain in the event of a divorce.

When someone is fighting and fighting you in this way and willing to die on every hill and not willing to compromise at all, for whatever reason they have… you have to, at one point, let go and just be the bigger person and prioritize what is most important to you. Is it most important for it to be vengeful? Is it most important to be vindictive? Is it most important to be hateful? Is it most important to just be to just like hang on? Or is it most important to just protect your peace of mind and let go?
