On this season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After, Family Chantel continues to be suspicious of her husband Pedro and his Dominican family. On more than one occasion, Chantel’s mom and dad have expressed their concerns with Chantel that Pedro’s mom Lidia is using her son to harvest US dollars and flat screen televisions.
On Sunday night’s episode, Chantel’s mom cracks open her “evuhdense” binder by claiming that Mother Pedro has a website which “finds stupid Americans to match with a person on the island in order to harvest the American dollar.” The comment sparked curiosity among viewers, and some dedicated 90 Daytectives on reddit have dug up a since-deleted website associated with Mother Pedro!
The website is (was) www.ServiciosLegalesDR.com, but it is currently defunct. Thanks to the Internet Wayback Machine, we do have some snapshots of the website prior to its demise, and it looks to be an online legal services business. Here is a list of the services offered, which was preceded by the message: “If the service you are looking for is not listed, you can tell us what it is.”

You will notice that “US husbands for dollar harvesting” is not listed.
I can confirm that Mother Pedro lists the website as her employer on Facebook with “project manager” as her job title. I also uncovered this video advertisement for the website, which includes a rather funny cartoon depiction of various issues those seeking legal counsel might me suffering from — including “estafas” (aka scam):
Here’s a screen cap that I’m sure 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After fans will have some fun with:
Meanwhile, another reddit 90 Daytective uncovered a divorce announcement in which Mother Pedro is listed as an attorney for one of the parties — so at least part of her legal expertise is with divorce law.
Mm hmmm.
As far as background info on Mother Pedro, she graduated with her law degree (I assume) from Universidad Tecnológica de Santiago. I am unsure if that particular university offers courses in US dollar harvesting.
On an unrelated note, yet another reddit 90 Daytective uncovered what looks to be a dating profile for Mother Pedro on the website CaribbeanCupid.com! Check it out:
Hmmmm… Perhaps we will see Mother Pedro on the next season of 90 Day Fiance or Before the 90 Days! If Lidia came to the US, then she could certainly raise her harvesting profits and save a ton of money on TV shipping!
UPDATE – It seems I was spot on! Check out the tweet below!
#TheFamilyChantel Pedro's mom Lidia will be featured on #90DayFiance #LoveInParadise Season 3! She will be attempting to harvest the American dollar from a man named Scott.
