Karine Martins, Desperate For Help, Starts GoFundMe, Fears Deportation

Karine Martins previously on 90 Day Fiance is so desperate for help with retaining some rights to her kids with Paul Staehle, that she started a GoFundMe. Meanwhile, Paul flits around Brazil dangling young women on his arm. 

The GoFundMe Comes Amid Pregnancy

The sad saga of the kids left Karine pretty much fighting to get the kids back by herself. After taking his son Pierre, and allegedly not returning him to the CPS-appointed guardian, Paul Staehle eventually took the child back before he left for Brazil. That left Karine, a college student via the UPS program at JCC, in dire financial traits. Her GoFundMe request arrived on Instagram on March 15.  

Things just got a whole lot worse for the former TLC star. Pregnant, she could lose her next baby, and she needs $50K to fight Paul’s cousin who has custody of her kids. According to the blurb on the GoFundMe site, “While fighting to regain custody of my kids, Paul’s cousin, who I have always offered everything I could to help my children, declined because she owns a very large interstate construction company.”

Claiming the cousin once told her she doesn’t need child support, she allegedly changed her mind and that means the costs are more than Karine Martins can afford. 

How Is The New Baby Affected?

Explaining that the laws changed, Karine Martins told her 90 Day Fiance fans, “[The] Kentucky House Bill 574...will allow the government to take my newborn baby after she is born and not allow me around her unsupervised.” She also confessed, “I love all my children and want to be with them.”

The estranged wife of Paul Staehle is beyond bewildered in the USA. And, she related how she can’t understand everything about the law. Neither does she understand why everyone seems so “hostile “ toward her because she’s not American. 

Paul Is No Help

Everyone knows that Paul walked away from his kids, and despite hoping to fight for them, he certainly doesn’t seem to be of any use to Karine. After all, the former 90 Day Fiance personality is way too busy trying out things like same-sex relationships. Or, drumming up drama with his fake disappearance in the jungle. 

The Reality TV alum wrote more, saying, “f I am unable to pay my monthly child support, which includes almost $7000… the court order is requiring me to pay,” adding, “I can be arrested.” Of course, that will impact her “citizenship and residency” applications. Allegedly, she might even end up “deported.”

Hope fades that she can get a “federal lawyer to fight” for her kids, who she wants to return to the country of their birth, which is Brazil.

Unfortunately, a lot of TLC fans believe that kids are better off with Paul’s cousin. So, it’s not clear that many of them will step up and help Karine Martins. Do you agree? Sound off in the comments below, and come back here often for all your 90 Day Fiance cast news and updates.
