According to the newspaper, Quinn said in court documents that Richard had “committed acts of domestic violence and child abuse” against her and their son.

The 45-year-old tech entrepreneur filed for divorce earlier this month, citing “irreconcilable differences” after he was arrested on March 19 for domestic violence at their marital home.

Quinn explained in her filing Monday the circumstances behind her contact with police last month, when she accused Richard of throwing a bag containing a glass bottle at her that struck their son.

Police told Page Six that in the incident, “the suspect threw a bag containing a glass bottle at the victim, missing the victim but striking the victim’s child, causing injury.”

The toddler was treated for injuries at a nearby hospital, a separate source told Page Six.

Quinn said she hopes to take their son to her home state of Texas if she is granted full legal and physical custody, the newspaper reported, citing court documents, and that Richard will be “barred from any further visits” with their son .

Quinn told the court that Richard had tried to manipulate and mislead her and her lawyers last week by falsely claiming that his mother, Nancy Dumontet, had suffered a heart attack.

Quinn told the court that Nancy Dumontet “did not have a heart attack” and that Richard had tried to “exploit a family member’s false medical condition… to manipulate me, my lawyers and even his own lawyers.”

Quinn said in legal documents, “I am extremely concerned that Christian will go to extremes, including major emotional manipulation, as a means to control my activities while the restraining order is in effect.”

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ On April 5, Richard asks for sole legal and physical custody of their two-year-old son Christian, with only visitation rights for Quinn.

According to the paperwork, Richard is asking the court to help them divide their assets and property; and also requested that all income earned since their divorce be declared as solely his. For the date of separation, he reported that it was ‘to be determined’.

The now estranged couple has been married since 2019 and shares one son.

Richard was arrested on March 19 for assault with a deadly weapon when he allegedly threw a bottle of recyclable glass at Quinn but struck their two-year-old son.

He has since disputed this version of events, calling them “lies,” claiming he threw a garbage bag containing paper towels and dirty rags at the wall.

The former couple – who tied the knot in 2019 – also filed temporary restraining orders, granting Quinn against him.

A hearing scheduled for Wednesday will determine whether the temporary restraining order will be converted into a permanent restraining order. Quinn told the court that Richard changed the home’s security codes, causing her and their “two-year-old son to leave our home in violation of both orders.”

Quinn was granted a temporary protective order after the initial arrest, but Richard still showed up at their marital home the next night and was arrested again, an LAPD spokesperson said.

It has also been reported that police have been called to her home 18 times in the past five years American weekly.

Richard is no longer allowed to enter the former couple’s marital home and is not allowed to threaten, stalk and/or abuse her.

In court documents, she made explosive accusations against him when she filed a temporary restraining order.

She claimed that the couple had money problems that caused their relationship to break down.

She claimed that her husband urinated on the floor and threw dog feces at her during an outburst the day before his arrest.

When that alleged incident occurred, Quinn decided to end her relationship with Richard, according to court documents.

The latest legal development follows claims that the estranged couple’s marital problems have persisted for months.
