Quinta Brunson is moving her divorce from estranged husband Kevin Anik along in court, despite him not officially filing a response, In Touch can exclusively report.
On May 23, the Abbot Elementary creator, 35, informed the Los Angeles Superior Court judge presiding over her divorce that she had turned over her financial statements to Kevin.
Quinta said she produced a list of her income and expenses, along with a list of her assets and debts. She also put together a list of what she deemed to be community property and what is her separate property.
As In Touch previously reported, Quinta filed for divorce from Kevin on March 20 after three and a half years of marriage.
In her petition, she cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. She said they had a postnuptial agreement, which laid out the division of their property, that she wanted enforced.
Quinta and Kevin, who do not have any children, kept their relationship low-key over the years.

The duo reportedly got engaged in mid-2020 and walked down the aisle the following year.
The actress did give Kevin a shout-out on stage while accepting an award at the Emmys ceremony in 2022.
Kevin has yet to file an official response to the divorce or speak out publicly about the split.
Quinta’s petition was filed by the powerhouse firm Wasser, Cooperman & Mandles, which is run by a couple of lawyers, including high-powered celebrity attorney, Laura Wasser.
Laura has repped everyone from Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera and countless others.
The court has no hearings scheduled on the matter. Quinta has several film projects lined up and will continue creating her TV show, Abbott Elementary.
Aside from the divorce, Quinta has only had one known other legal issue.

Back in early 2024, Quinta shut down a federal lawsuit brought by a writer named Christine Davis.
Christine claimed she wrote a television show titled, This School Year. She claimed her show, which was set in a New York public school, focused on a, “young, idealistic teacher hoping to get tenure but also trying to convince everyone that the school needs to be reformed.”
Abbott, created by Quinta, centers around teachers at a Philadelphia public school.
“Without [Davis’] permission, license, authority, or consent, [Brunson & ABC] knowingly and illegal used [Davis’] works to create the Abbott Elementary television show,” the suit read.
In court documents, Christine alleged Abbottwas a rip-off of her work with similar characters and tone.
Christine claimed she sent her script, which she wrote in 2018, around town but nothing ever came of her meetings. She believed Quinta or her writers discovered her work and used it to write Abbott.
Quinta denied all allegations of wrongdoing. They argued the two works were not similar nor was Christine’s work used to create Abbott.
Quinta’s lawyer argued, “The characters of the works are not similar either.”
The case ended up being dismissed after a federal judge ruled Christine had not, “plausibly alleged that Defendants engaged in any unlawful copying of the Work, as the Court’s comparison of This School Year and Abbott Elementary makes plain that no discerning ordinary observer would find the works to be substantially similar.”
