Meghan King, a former star of The Real Housewives of Orange County, lost custody of her three children from ex-husband Jim Edmonds. This change stemmed from an investigation by Child Protective Services, according to reports from Us Weekly.
Court Ruling on Custody
In recent months, the decision was made to strip King of physical custody rights. As it stands, Jim Edmonds holds sole physical custody of their three children, which include an 8-year-old daughter, Aspen, and 7-year-old twin sons, Hart and Hayes. Meghan has been granted supervised visitation only.
Background of the Case
The couple was married from 2014 until their divorce in 2019. In May 2021, they reached a settlement allowing joint custody. However, a recent incident involving a school employee led to a CPS investigation, resulting in the current custody arrangement.
Upcoming Custody Hearing
- A hearing is scheduled for early December to consider the possibility of a permanent custody arrangement.
- Meghan King is currently unable to discuss the situation as she awaits legal proceedings.
Additional Incidents
In May, tensions escalated when King had a confrontation with Jim’s current wife, Kortnie Edmonds. Following a dispute about their daughter, police were called to the scene, although no charges were filed against King.
Details of the Incident
- The confrontation started when Meghan arrived at Jim’s home to drop off clothing for their daughter.
- Kortnie asked Meghan to leave, claiming that their daughter was not present.
A police report indicated that margins of miscommunication led to the escalation, with both parties asserting their narratives. Following this, Kortnie sought a restraining order but later dismissed it after an agreement was reached.
Meghan’s Stance
Meghan expressed her lack of regret for her actions during this tumultuous period. Her focus remains on ensuring stability for her family amid the custody battle. She has publicly shared her perspective on being emotionally affected by the circumstances surrounding her ex-husband.
Conclusion
The ongoing custody situation highlights the complexities of co-parenting after divorce, particularly when factors like CPS investigations are involved. As hearing dates approach, the final custody decision will have significant implications for Meghan King and her children.
