Patrick Mendes and Thais Ramone's marriage is officially over, and the final outcome looks considerably different from what Patrick initially wanted. After more than five months of contentious divorce proceedings involving allegations of domestic violence, infidelity, and a fight over their daughter, the 90 Day Fiancé stars have reached an agreement that leaves them sharing custody—and Patrick responsible for some significant expenses.
A Nevada judge finalized their divorce on Tuesday, Oct. 27, just five days after Patrick asked the court to resolve the case without another hearing. According to documents Starcasm first obtained, the former couple will share legal and physical custody of their three-year-old daughter, Aleesi.
That's a notable change from May, when Patrick filed for divorce and sought sole custody of the child.
Under the new arrangement, Aleesi will split her time between both parents on a rotating two-week schedule. Thais will generally have her from the weekend until Wednesday afternoon, with Patrick taking over for the remainder of the week.
The agreement also places restrictions on international travel. Neither parent can take Aleesi outside the United States without the other's written permission, and the traveling parent must provide an itinerary and emergency contact information beforehand.
Those provisions are particularly relevant to a family whose relationship began with Thais leaving Brazil to build a life with Patrick in the United States.
But custody isn't the only area where the final agreement is worth examining.
Patrick is also walking away from the marriage while still responsible for a substantial portion of the couple's financial obligations.
As previously reported, the pair had about $240,000 in debt when their divorce proceedings began, with most of it attributed to Patrick.
Rather than splitting those liabilities evenly, the decree makes each person responsible for debts held in their own name.
"Each Party shall be solely responsible for any debts held in his or her individual name and shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless therefrom," the agreement states.
Patrick must also cover outstanding federal tax obligations connected to the marriage, including any liabilities arising from their 2025 tax return.
The decree makes him "solely responsible for any IRS or joint tax liability, including the debt associated with the Parties' 2025 tax return and any resulting tax, penalties, and interest."
Neither party will receive alimony, and the court isn't requiring either parent to make child support payments.
However, Patrick will cover all childcare expenses, which the court determined exceed what he otherwise would have owed in support.
"Accordingly, Dad's Child Support obligation is set at $0.00," the decree reads.
As for their possessions, Thais gets the 2022 Tesla Model Y, while Patrick keeps a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. They will also retain their respective bank accounts and retirement savings.
It's a relatively straightforward conclusion to a divorce that was anything but.
Patrick and Thais first appeared on Season 9 of 90 Day Fiancé, married in February 2022, and later welcomed Aleesi. Their relationship troubles eventually brought them to Season 3 of 90 Day: The Last Resort, where they participated in couples therapy alongside other struggling cast members.
The two appeared to leave the retreat on the same page, recommitting to their marriage after filming in April 2025.
That agreement didn't survive the following year.
In May 2026, Patrick filed for divorce. Shortly afterward, Thais was arrested following a domestic dispute at her Las Vegas home.
Patrick alleged that Thais slapped him during an argument. She maintained that she acted in self-defense and accused him of controlling behavior. Prosecutors ultimately dropped the domestic battery charge.
Thais disputed those claims, and her legal team challenged their inclusion in the case. The knife allegation had not appeared in the original police report concerning the earlier domestic dispute.
Her attorney later argued that the accusations were included in a filing in error. Patrick's attorneys agreed to strike the disputed motion from the record.
By late August, the couple had agreed to custody mediation, signaling a shift away from the increasingly combative legal filings.
Patrick and Thais have not publicly commented on the finalized agreement.
