On Sept. 11, Garcia, 40, filed for divorce in Napa Valley, California after nearly two years of marriage, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE. The filing came nearly two weeks after Chigvintsev was arrested on a charge of corporal injury to a spouse and hours after a source told PEOPLE that Garcia had obtained a divorce lawyer.

At the time, Garcia's rep confirmed the news of their separation to PEOPLE, saying, "Nikki Garcia has filed for divorce. She continues to ask for privacy for her and her family at this time."

In her initial petition, the former WWE star requested legal and physical custody of their son Matteo, with Chigvintsev being allowed visitation rights. Though Chigvintsev requested the court terminate Garcia's ability to receive spousal support, the Total Bellas alum petitioned for it terminated for both parties.
