UPDATE
07/15/2026 2:26 PM PST -- Colin Dias denies all claims made by his ex-wife. In a statement to TMZ, Dr. Dias' attorney -- Robert Eisfelder -- says his client denies Lia Jones' allegations and claims her latest filing ignores a lengthy history between the former couple. The attorney says the court previously awarded Colin sole legal and physical custody of the couple's two minor children and contends the children have been "thriving" while in his care. Eisfelder claims Lia is seeking to modify the existing custody orders at a hearing scheduled for July 28.
