In 2016, Rob Van Dam’s then wife Sonya Szatkowski filed for divorce after 16 years for irreconcilable differences. In addition to asking for spousal support and attorney fees, Sonya also wanted her last name to be changed from Szatkowski to Delbeck.
Sonya told TMZ in 2016, "It's a private time. It's a hard thing for me to even talk about." She added that, although they were on good terms, she felt that the marriage was not working anymore.
The divorce is close to being finalized as each of them received certain items from their marriage as a part of the settlement agreement. For Sonya, this includes her Mini Cooper, a grandfather clock, family photos, books and a drafting table, according to The Blast. In addition, she was able to retain her jewelry, which included her engagement and wedding rings. She also was able to take ownership of the ashes of their late pooches, Rosie and Zena.
For RVD, he retains two cars, a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid and a 1998 Ford Explorer. He also was able to retain his father's inheritance, and all the jewelry in his possession.
The former couple agreed to sell both of their homes — one in Palos Verdes and the other in Las Vegas. RVD is also responsible for paying Sonya an equalization payment of $262,500 from the sale, and Sonya also gets to keep a plot of land they owned in Oklahoma all to herself.
