90 Day Fiancé star Patrick Mendes is taking additional legal steps to end his marriage to Thais Mendes (née Ramone).
According to court records viewed by Us Weekly, Patrick first filed for divorce from his wife in May.
The TLC reality star proceeded to file for a default summary disposition in his divorce on Monday, June 15, which was 25 calendar days after Thais was served with the divorce papers. (According to Nevada state law, Thais had 21 calendar days to respond to the divorce after being served.)
In court documents first obtained by Starcasm, Patrick requested sole legal custody and primary physical custody of the couple’s 3-year-old daughter, Aleesi.
The new filings also alleged that Patrick and Thais have been splitting their time with Aleesi since early May. According to court documents filed by Patrick, Aleesi has been with her dad four to five days a week and with her mom three to four days a week since May 6.
