Alexia was taken by surprise when Todd filed for divorce, as they had been getting along well in the days leading up to the filing. She felt that Todd was keeping his true feelings about ending the marriage from her because he knew she would try to change his mind.
The separation between Alexia and Todd is said to be influenced by their family dynamic, particularly involving Alexia's sons, Peter (31) and Frankie (26), whom she shares with her ex-husband, Peter Rosello Sr. Peter had previously warned Alexia about Todd. (Alexia was previously married to Rosello Sr. from 1992 to 1996 and Herman Echevarria from 2004 to 2016.)
In Florida divorce proceedings, assets and property are not automatically split 50/50 like in many other states. According to attorney Neama Rahmani, the presumption in Florida is that each spouse individually holds their own separate property. This means that in the event of a divorce, each spouse gets to keep what is considered their own.

Rahmani mentioned that the outcome of Alexia and Todd's divorce will depend on whether their assets were shared or kept separate. This will determine what Alexia will receive.
Additionally, Rahmani explained that a family law judge will need to figure out the origin of the funds. They will consider if the money is from separate property going through an account that is meant for the individual in case of a divorce. The judge will also assess if the funds are separate property that was mixed with shared assets, or if it was gifted to the spouse and therefore considered shared property.
Bravo cameras are expected to document the aftermath of the breakup on the upcoming season of RHOM.
Editor's P/S:
Alexia Nepola's resilience in the face of her divorce is inspiring. Her gratitude towards her supporters shows her strength and ability to find support during a challenging time. The news of the divorce came as a shock to many, as Alexia and Todd seemed to be doing well before the filing. It's heartbreaking to hear that Alexia was blindsided by Todd's decision, and it's clear that she is deeply hurt by the separation.
The legal aspects of the divorce proceedings are complex, especially considering Florida's unique property division laws. It will be interesting to see how the couple's assets and property are divided, and the role that their prenuptial agreement will play in the outcome. It's also worth noting that the Bravo cameras will be documenting the aftermath of the breakup on the upcoming season of RHOM, which could provide further insights into the dynamics of their relationship and the emotional toll it's taking on both parties.
