Kelly Rutherford's Custody Case Denied in New York Court - Read Her Statement

Kelly Rutherford is speaking out about her case to regain custody of her two children Hermes, 8, and Helena, 6 with ex husband Daniel Giersch after now being denied by a New York court.

“Neither California or N.Y.C. are taking jurisdiction. So who in the U.S. has jurisdiction of my America-born U.S. citizen children?” the 46-year-old actress told People. “They were sent there by California temporarily to accommodate Daniel’s visa issue, and now California won’t bring them home.”

“It’s just incredible as an American mom with America-born children,” she added. “My forefathers fought for this country and the freedoms we enjoy.”

Kelly‘s two children currently live with their father in Monaco during the year and are spending their summer in the US with her.
