This isn’t a permanent custody decision so much as it’s once again a temporary placement because OS has suddenly decided she needs to leave the US. Or has her visa expired? So confusing. Anyway, she is apparently still in the running for permanent custody.
i guess this decision helps to determine if Sheila’s niece can handle custody of Stella, especially with the added unfortunate bonus ruling that HM is to get weekly virtual visits.
It’s disappointing to read that KW has been causing some difficulties and Is not getting on well with the judge. I’m sure she’s frustrated but it doesn’t bode well for any shot at custody, or even visitation, for her. Even more disappointing to read that VF was willing to jump back into temporary custody because OS couldn’t do it anymore. Makes me believe that’s the reason she gave it up the last time, so OS could come back to the US for a while, rather than the family health emergency reason I believe she gave. I’d still love to know if Stella’s trust fund paid for OS’s stay in the US. Is the trust also paying for all this court time?
