After Artem Chigvinstev was arrested for alleged domestic violence , his estranged wife, Nikki Garcia, filed for a restraining order against the dancer . On Sept. 11, Nikki initially filed a dissolution of marriage with a California court.
About two weeks later, she followed up her divorce filing with a request for a request for a domestic violence restraining order. She was granted a temporary restraining order while the court hashed out the potential details on Sept. 30.
Artem then responded with an Oct. 3 request for a restraining order which he was also granted as a temporary measure. Both matters are set to be discussed in an Oct.
