Christine Quinn arrives to court amid her legal battle with her estranged husband Christian Richard. Christine appears to be in good spirits as she enters the courthouse.
Christine Quinn 's estranged husband Christian Richard has been charged with three misdemeanors over the domestic violence incidents that took place in March, the Los Angeles City Attorney's office confirmed to DailyMail.com on Wednesday.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Quinn's attorney Jacqueline Sparagna said that they are 'extremely satisfied with the decision' and believe it to be 'a crucial step toward' protecting both Christine and baby Christian. 'He has now been formally charged with child abuse against his 2-year-old toddler, assault against Christine Quinn, and for violating a restraining order.
She filed a request for alternate service of the restraining order on Monday, April 22, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. Normal procedure requires that the person being restrained be served the documents informing them of the restraining order before it can go into effect, but Quinn's inability to find or serve Richard means that her order is essentially useless for now.
However, that option is unlikely to work in Richard's case due to his alleged lack of communication with his estranged wife. 'Due to my public image, and I have taken additional security precautions when staying at hotels previously, such as checking in under pseudonyms or booking blocks of rooms to evade detection,' Quinn writes in her filing. 'I believe could be employing these methods, or even paying the hotel, to conceal his location.'
'Although I was very grateful my request for protection was granted, I was extremely concerned that … he would make every attempt to evade service,' Quinn adds. 'My counsel assisted me in retaining a private investigator to have personally served promptly, although I feared locating him would already be an impossible task.'
Back in March, Richard was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly threw a bag containing a glass bottle at his wife, which missed her and instead hit their two-year-old son Christian.Richard has denied throwing the bag at Christine, and has claimed that it also did not contain any glass, which he claims was a story Christine fed to police.
