Oksana Baiul Loses Primary Custody in Divorce as Ex Wins OK to Relocate Daughter to Las Vegas

Her in-person visits now depend on her daughter's agreement under the court-approved settlement.

Overview

  • Court documents show Carlo Farina was awarded primary custody and permission to move Sophia from Louisiana to Las Vegas.
  • The agreement states Baiul may see her daughter only if Sophia agrees, with Farina to make good-faith efforts to arrange visits.
  • Baiul must enroll in anger-management classes and undergo drug and alcohol testing to monitor sobriety.
  • Financial terms include $100,000 upfront to Baiul, $150,000 paid over five years, $550,000 from a home’s net proceeds, splitting a $108,000 account, and forgiveness of a $194,000 loan.
  • The case was settled in October 2025 and surfaced in January reports, as Baiul posted that divorce is a “lengthy and often devastating journey” and asked for privacy.
