Fabiola Yáñez Says Alberto Fernández Seeks Custody as Parallel Cases Raise New Risks

Her lawyer warns that a contravencional court proceeding with a requested psychological exam could undercut the federal gender-violence case.

Overview

  • In a new Infobae interview, Yáñez alleges the former president aims to take custody of their son and accuses him of economic abuse following her return from Spain.
  • Fernández recently reappeared in media to deny gender-violence allegations, saying he never hit her and claiming photos and chat messages in the case were falsified or manipulated.
  • Yáñez and her lawyer say the father–child reunification moved too fast outside family court protocols, and she reports that the child is anxious and not sleeping well.
  • They criticize the use of a Buenos Aires contravencional court for threats and impediment-of-contact filings by Fernández, where a psychological evaluation of Yáñez was requested citing a 2017 test.
  • The federal prosecution for gender-based violence remains open, and Yáñez’s team argues the contravencional track could weaken it, noting a prior order docking 30% of Fernández’s pension for child support.
