Rumor: Brian McFadden turns to courts for full custody of kids
The squabble between Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona over custody of their children — Molly, 5 1/2 and Lily-Sue, 4 1/2 — has spilled over into the British legal system. The ex-couple squared off yesterday in court over claims by Brian’s mom Mairead McFadden that the children would be better off living with her full-time in Ireland. Mairead has been caring for the girls ever since Kerry’s home in Cheshire was the scene of an armed robbery two weeks ago. Although only Kerry, her husband Mark Croft and their 5 1/2-month-old daughter Heidi Elizabeth were home at the time of the attack, the robbers held Kerry and Heidi at knife-point — and that is enough for Mairead and Brian to seek full custody of Molly and Lily-Sue, the mother and son said. Said a source:
[Brian] is not trying to persecute Kerry. But his whole family are concerned for the girls’ well-being after the break-in. They have tried to talk to Kerry but all she does is scream and cry and shout down the phone. Communication has completely broken down. They just want what is best for the girls.
According to reports Kerry has not seen her daughters for nearly one month, nor has she spoken to them in the last two weeks, unaware even that Lily recently suffered from chicken pox.
Imagine how upset she was to know Lily had been sick and didn’t have her mum to comfort her. All she has been sent in the last few weeks is texts from Mairead telling her the kids should be with her.
A ruling in the dispute is forthcoming.
