Paulina Rubio child custody legal dispute

Overview

A Miami-Dade judge has ruled in favor of Mexican singer Paulina Rubio in a long-standing legal dispute with her ex-husband, Spanish businessman Nicolás Vallejo-Nágera, known as ‘Colate’. The court determined that their 15-year-old son, Andrea Nicolás, will remain in Miami to live and study with Rubio rather than relocating to Madrid, Spain, as requested by his father.

During the proceedings, Colate alleged that the teenager had been subjected to physical and mental abuse by Rubio. However, the court rejected these claims, noting that an investigation by the Florida Department of Children and Families found insufficient evidence to support them. The judge concluded that Colate’s attempt to relocate the minor was based on personal circumstances rather than the child’s best interests, characterizing his interference as ‘more systematic and harmful’ than the difficult family dynamics contributed to by both parents. As part of the ruling, Rubio was granted final decision-making authority regarding the teenager’s education, and the court ordered individual and family therapy to help reintegrate the relationship between mother and son.

Following the verdict, Colate stated that while the specific details were surprising, the outcome was not unexpected given their history of legal disputes. He noted he was focusing on his professional responsibilities as president of Club Deportivo Badajoz. However, Colate has since filed an extensive appeal containing over 70 points, alleging irregularities in the judicial process. He claims the ruling was made hastily while the teenager was traveling and maintains that his son desires to move to Spain due to an ‘unlivable environment’ in his mother’s home.
