Overview
- Patrick Mendes filed for divorce in May and moved for a default summary disposition on June 15 after saying Thais missed Nevada’s 21-day response window.
- Police bodycam video from the May 22 incident that led to Thais’ arrest was made public mid‑June and shows competing accounts and officers noting visible marks on Patrick.
- The Clark County District Attorney declined to prosecute the misdemeanor domestic battery charge that followed the May 22 response.
- Thais retained immigration attorney Kathleen Martinez and family lawyer Carmen Marisol and filed an answer and counterclaim on June 18 seeking joint legal and physical custody, child and spousal support, attorney fees, and an accounting of community assets and debts.
- A case management conference is set for August in Clark County, keeping the divorce and custody dispute active and leaving the judge to decide whether Patrick’s default request will be granted or denied.
