Kelly Rutherford's Temporary Custody Order Blocked by Judge

Kelly Rutherford is facing a setback in her fight for custody of her two children with ex-husband Daniel Giersch.

After achieving a major victory and being granted temporary sole custody of their kids – Hermes, 8, and Helena, almost 6, – a new judge has blocked the order.

Daniel‘s legal team filed documents that showed a Monaco court now has jurisdiction over the couple’s children and that Kelly withheld crucial information from the California judge. The judge in California and the judge in Monaco will now speak on June 11 in a conference call to work out the details in this case.

The two children have been living in Monaco with their father since 2012, when a judge gave him custody as he would not able to enter the United States to visit the kids. Kelly argued that he could have filed for a visa, but did not.
