Judge Dismisses Tory Lanez and Raina Chassagne Divorce Case

A Los Angeles judge has dismissed the divorce case filed by Raina Chassagne against incarcerated singer Tory Lanez, effectively ending the legal proceeding without a final judgment on the couple’s marriage. The court’s decision comes after a finding of insufficient activity to move the case toward a resolution, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. It is important to note that this dismissal does not confirm that Chassagne and Lanez have reconciled.

Chassagne initially filed for divorce in June 2024, less than a year after marrying the artist, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson. In her filing, she cited irreconcilable differences and requested legal and physical custody of their son, Kai. The legal action took place while Peterson was serving a 10-year prison sentence following his conviction in the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

Legal Context and Family Dynamics

Peterson was convicted in December 2022 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, as well as possessing a loaded and unregistered firearm and negligently discharging a firearm. Prosecutors argued that he shot Megan Pete—known professionally as Megan Thee Stallion—following an argument in the Hollywood Hills. Throughout the trial and subsequent sentencing in August 2023, Peterson has maintained his innocence and continues to challenge the conviction.

Despite the legal turmoil, Chassagne has remained active in facilitating the relationship between Peterson and their son. She has frequently taken Kai to visit his father in prison and has shared glimpses of these interactions on social media, including marking Father’s Day with throwback photos of the family.

The Future of the Case

The court’s decision to dismiss the divorce case serves as a procedural closure rather than a substantive ruling on the couple’s marital status. Because the case failed to progress toward a final judgment, the court terminated the proceedings. This development adds another layer of complexity to Peterson’s personal affairs while he remains incarcerated. As of now, representatives for Peterson have not issued a public statement regarding the dismissal, and counsel for Chassagne has yet to comment on the matter.
