Just when many thought the divorce drama between Married to Medicine: Los Angeles star Lia Jones and Colin Dias couldn’t get any more intense, another shocking twist has emerged.
This time, Lia Jones is accusing her ex-husband of something far more serious than anyone expected.
New court documents claim Dias tried to hire one of their former neighbors to kill her. That is an incredibly serious allegation. Jones also says she has lived in fear for years.
Amid all these shocking claims, Dias has not publicly responded. This has added even more suspense.
Lia Jones Makes Shocking Claims in Court Filing
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Lia Jones claims Colin Dias approached one of their former neighbors and allegedly offered money to kill her. She says the neighbor turned down the offer and later told her about the conversation.
Jones included the allegation in her request to change the custody agreement involving their two children.
If investigators prove a murder-for-hire allegation, the law treats it as an extremely serious crime in the United States. Depending on the case, anyone found guilty of trying to hire someone to commit murder could face decades in prison or even life imprisonment.
For now, however, these claims remain allegations. The court has not ruled on them.
She Wants More Time With Her Children
Lia Jones and Colin Dias were married for more than a decade before their relationship ended. During their marriage, they welcomed two children, daughter Kaylin Dias and son Colin Dias Jr.
Jones is now asking the court to give her 50/50 legal and physical custody after previously being allowed to supervised visitation.
She says she has built a much stronger relationship with her children over the last few years. She also says she completed every program the court required, attended therapy, and worked hard to rebuild her life after the divorce.
Jones also claims Dias moved the children farther away from Los Angeles, making visits much more difficult. Even so, she says she continues to make a four-hour round trip just to spend time with them.
A Divorce Filled With Allegations
The legal battle between Lia Jones and Colin Dias has lasted for years.
Back in 2021, both accused each other of domestic abuse during their divorce proceedings. Lia obtained a temporary restraining order against Dias. Dias later requested legal protection as well and accused Jones of threatening him and acting violently.
The former couple finalized their divorce in 2023 after years of legal disputes over custody and domestic violence allegations.
As part of the settlement, the court awarded Dias sole legal and physical custody of the children. Jones received limited visitation under court-approved conditions.
The latest court filing suggests the legal dispute between Lia Jones and Colin Dias is ongoing, with the case continuing to draw public attention.
Fans React to the New Allegations
The latest court filing has sparked widespread discussion across social media.
Many fans expressed shock over the allegations, with some saying they hope investigators thoroughly examine the claims.
Some longtime viewers of Married to Medicine: Los Angeles said they remembered watching the couple navigate challenges on the show but never imagined the legal battle would escalate to this point. Others described the situation as heartbreaking, noting that two children are at the center of the dispute.
Meanwhile, TMZ reports that Colin’s legal team previously described the matter as a private family dispute and said they would allow the courts to handle the case. For now, the matter remains before the family court, with further developments expected as the legal proceedings continue.
