The twisted truth behind their separation emerged, with conflicting stories from their biological mother and adoptive father. A brewing custody battle ensued, pitting their parents against each other as authorities investigated the complex situation. Despite the legal feud, Marielisa expressed a desire to remain with her adoptive parents, urging her biological parents to drop the lawsuits.
