Overview
- The petition was officially registered in the Los Angeles Superior Court on November 4, with documents noting the couple has lived separately since April 1.
- Vale said on her radio show she has been separated for months and learned of the filing when journalist Javier Ceriani published the documents.
- The filing seeks joint legal custody, designates Vale’s home as the children’s primary residence, and sets out alternating weekends and summer vacation weeks.
- Terms outlined include a non‑defamation clause, direct parent‑to‑parent communication rather than using the children as messengers, and advance notice of the children’s whereabouts or address changes.
- Padrón asks that Vale cover court and legal costs, and some outlets report he has been difficult to reach as formal court service and next procedural steps remain pending.
