Overview
- Judge Marlene Fernández on Monday ordered Paulina Rubio and Nicolás Vallejo-Nájera to each pay $14,500 to their son’s court-appointed guardian within 48 hours under threat of civil contempt.
- Rubio made a $3,000 partial payment last week and still owes about $9,500, while Vallejo-Nájera had not paid as of the latest reports, which could expose both to an arrest order meant to force compliance.
- The court is weighing three placements for the 15-year-old with a decision expected Friday: stay with his mother in Miami, move to Madrid to live with his father, or enter a specialized boarding facility.
- Guardian ad litem Amber Glasper, an independent advocate appointed to represent the child’s interests, urged a temporary boarding school to remove him from what she described as a conflict-heavy home environment.
- In court this week, the teen said he wants to move to Madrid with his father, and security video shown to the judge allegedly depicted him in a Miami supermarket theft, though no criminal charge has been filed.
