LAS VEGAS, NV — The ongoing legal drama between 90 Day Fiancé stars Patrick Mendes and Thais Ramone has taken a stunning new turn, uncovering a massive financial mess that fans never saw coming. As the couple moves closer to a definitive split, newly surfaced court documents have completely shifted the narrative of their high-profile divorce.
While the split had already made headlines due to custody battles and Thais’s recent legal issues, the latest updates have exposed the former couple’s staggering financial vulnerabilities.
A mountain of hidden debt exposed
According to a shocking report by Starcasm, the divorce proceedings have laid bare a massive financial burden, revealing that the couple owes more than $240,000 in unsecured debt. Crucially, this astronomical figure does not even include their house or vehicle loans.
The court filings show that Patrick individually owes $221,889 to various banking institutions and credit card companies. The financial trouble is not entirely new; throughout 2025, major financial entities including American Express, Truist Bank, and JPMorgan Chase reportedly filed lawsuits against Patrick for debts totaling over $141,000. Additionally, he holds nearly $20,000 in debt spread across multiple other credit cards.
The revelation has added a new layer of friction to the separation. Following the public disclosure of these debts, Thais immediately claimed she was entirely blindsided, asserting she had absolutely no knowledge of the massive financial crisis brewing during their four-year marriage.
Patrick pushes for a default judgment without a hearing
Beyond the financial bombshells, the mechanics of the divorce case reached a critical juncture on June 15. After Patrick initially filed for divorce, Thais was granted a strict 21-day window to issue a formal response. Having failed to meet that deadline, Patrick has officially requested that the court enter a «default judgment,» effectively moving the case forward without her participation.
To expedite the process, Patrick submitted three critical documents to the Nevada court:
- Residency Affidavit: A formal statement from a Nevada resident confirming that all state residency requirements for the divorce have been legally met.
- Uncontested Divorce Affidavit: Paperwork supporting the transition of the case into an uncontested matter due to the lack of a timely response.
- Summary Disposition Request: A direct plea asking the judge to approve the final divorce decree without holding an official courtroom hearing.
High stakes for baby Aleesi
If the judge approves Patrick’s request for a summary disposition, the reality TV star could walk away with everything he originally demanded. This includes sole legal and physical custody of their young daughter, Aleesi, alongside a decree ensuring no spousal support will be paid to Thais.
With Patrick earning a reported $10,000 a month compared to Thais’s $5,000, the financial and custodial stakes are incredibly high. Legal commentators note that if Thais hopes to fight for custody of her daughter or address the newly revealed debt allocation, she must urgently step into the courtroom and break her silence before the judge finalizes the default decree.
