He was charged with assault with a “deadly weapon,” according to a statement from law enforcement.

The following day he wasarrested for a second timeat their home the following day, after allegedly violating an emergency protective order that had been put in place.

Quinn has now filed for a temporary restraining order, which forbids her spouse from coming within 100 yards (300 feet) of her, her home, her vehicle, her job, or their child’s “school or childcare.”

Although Quinn filed in the state of Texas, her documents state that the estranged couple still resides together. Richard’sown restraining order against Quinn, which he filed one day prior, listed a Los Angeles property in his name.

Quinn is asking that a judge grant a move-out order for her spouse, stating that she lives at the residence with her child.

Quinn has asked for control of the property, stating, “This is the marital residence. I have nowhere else to go. Our son has lived there all his life, and he lives with me full-time.”

In her request, she asks that Richard cover the utilities for the home, as well as the mortgage and at least half of the payment for their child’s nanny.

Additionally, Quinn is asking that her husband be placed on child support and spousal support, and cover her lawyer fees and costs.

Quinn is asking for full custody, and asks that a judge allows Richard to have “no visits” with their son. Richard had asked for joint custody in his request.

Both parents have expressedfears that the other could possibly abduct the child.

“He has obtained a passport for our son alone, without me. He is a citizen of France, he and/or his family own property in France, and he has expressed a desire to move to France in the past,” Quinn said.

Attempts to reach Richard for comment have been unsuccessful. Sources tell PEOPLE that Quinn is waiting for a ruling from the judge on her filings.

The celebrity realtor married Richard, a businessman and software engineer originally from New Jersey, in 2019. They welcomed their son, Christian George Dumontet, in 2021.

After Quinn departed the show and the Oppenheim Group, the L.A. real estate firm around which it’s based, sherevealed to PEOPLEin May 2022 that she and her husband had teamed up to launch a new crypto real estate venture calledRealOpen.
