Karine Martins' unborn third baby will be taken from her by Child Protective Services as soon as she gives birth due to Kentucky House Bill 574

 Karine Martins, a former reality TV cast member from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, finds herself in a precarious situation as she prepares to welcome her third child.


Despite the father of her unborn baby not being her ex-husband Paul Staehle, Karine's past struggles with Child Protective Services (CPS) and her inability to regain custody of her first two children have placed her under intense scrutiny.


Kentucky House Bill 574, also known as "Baby Miya's Law," has introduced new measures that could significantly impact Karine's ability to retain custody of her newborn. This law establishes a "rebuttable presumption" that any child born to a parent who has previously lost custody of other children is at immediate risk of dependency, neglect, or abuse. As a result, the state is empowered to intervene swiftly, potentially removing the newborn from the parent's care unless the parent can provide compelling evidence to counter the presumption.

The implications of this law are particularly dire for Karine, given her history with CPS and the unresolved issues that led to the removal of her first two children. Her tumultuous relationship with Paul, marked by allegations of neglect, instability, and even physical altercations, played a significant role in the court's decision to place her children in the care of others. Despite her efforts to regain custody, Karine has struggled to meet the court's requirements, including financial obligations and demonstrating a stable and nurturing environment. These past failures, combined with the stringent provisions of House Bill 574, make it increasingly likely that the state will intervene once her third child is born.
