Patrick Mendes and Thais Ramone’s split is becoming more complicated by the day. Just days after reports said Patrick wanted sole custody of their daughter, Thais responded in court. She made it clear she won’t back down.
The 90 Day Fiancé star is now seeking joint custody of their child. They are also asking for child support and spousal support as the divorce progresses. A couple on 90 Day: The Last Resort is trying to save their marriage on TV. However, in real life, things seem to be going very differently.
90 Day Fiancé: Thais Rejects Patrick’s Custody Request
Court documents from TMZ show that Thais opposed Patrick’s request for primary custody of their daughter. Instead, she proposed joint legal and physical custody. The filing shows that custody might be a major issue in their divorce.
Patrick previously requested sole legal custody and primary physical custody of their child. He also informed the court that he was not seeking child support or spousal support from Thais.
Now, Thais is asking the court to take a different approach.
90 Day Fiancé: “The Marriage Is Over”
In her filing, Thais reportedly acknowledged that the marriage cannot be repaired. She admitted there is no chance of reconciliation between her and Patrick.
That admission ends any talk about the pair getting back together after their time on reality TV. Instead, both seem focused on what comes next.
90 Day Fiancé: New Details From Thais’ Arrest Surface
The custody dispute arises weeks after Thais was arrested for an incident with Patrick at their Las Vegas home. Authorities arrested Thais for misdemeanor domestic battery. Patrick said she slapped him during an argument. Prosecutors later declined to move forward with the case.
New bodycam footage shows Thais’ emotional talk with police after the incident. In the footage, she described the relationship as broken long before the arrest.
“We’re not together.”
She also claimed:
“We haven’t had anything for a long time.”
90 Day Fiancé: Thais Speaks About Feeling Controlled
Thais got emotional when talking about her relationship with Patrick during the officers’ interaction. She alleged that she felt restricted during the marriage.
“I couldn’t do anything.”
She also claimed:
“He tries to control me through our daughter.” Patrick has not publicly responded to those specific allegations.
90 Day Fiancé: A Powerful Legal Team Steps In
As the divorce battle heats up, Thais has put together a team of lawyers and advisers to support her. Immigration attorney Kathleen Martinez issued a strong statement after Patrick sought sole custody.
“Let me be clear: Thais has rights, and those rights will be protected.”
Martinez added:
“No one should ever be made to feel powerless because of their immigration status, and no one should be bullied into silence.” Family law attorney Carmen Marisol also defended Thais.
“We are confident that the evidence will demonstrate that Thais is a loving, capable, and devoted mother.”
90 Day Fiancé: The Focus Shifts to Their Daughter
At the center of the legal fight is the couple’s young daughter. Patrick and Thais have both stressed the need to protect their child as their relationship ends. A representative for the former couple previously said:
“Our focus right now is simply ensuring that everyone is safe and supported.” The court will now decide what custody plan is best for the child.
