The two eventually settled their divorce in December 2022. They agreed Ricci would share custody and would not pay support.
However, months later, Ricci rushed to court demanding her ex’s overnight visits be suspended. She claimed their son’s therapist had suggested the move.
Heerdegen accused his ex of “psychological abuse” of their son. He claimed she bad-mouthed him in front of the child.
Further, he accused Ricci of calling Child Protective Services on him to have an investigation launched. He said the agency declined to pursue a case.
The judge ended up suspending Heerdegen’s overnight visits until a future hearing on the matter. Ricci and Heerdegen agreed to push the hearing until June, which will allow them time to attend therapy classes.
