Rivera's family has had quite troubled few weeks beginning with her arrest over Thanksgiving after she attacked her husband while they were out walking with their son. She was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery and was immediately released on bond.
During the unfortunate encounter, Dorsey allegedly called 911 to report that her wife was out of control and that she was getting physical with him. According to the police deputy who had arrived on the scene to investigate, Dorsey alleged that his wife had struck him in the head and in his bottom lip. Furthermore, the actor also had minor injuries that provide consistency to his claims. The authorities had also obtained a video recording of the alleged incident.
After her arrest, it didn't take long before Rivera re-filed for divorce. It should be remembered that Rivera had first filed for divorce from Dorsey back in November 2016, just two years after they wed. However, just this September, Rivera filed a request to dismiss the divorce case as it has been revealed that the couple had reconciled and are trying to work it out for their son.
Unfortunately, it looks like there is no hope left for their marriage. Thankfully, the former couple had made it their goal to co-parent their son and both had even celebrated Christmas with Josey, albeit separately.
