Kelly Rutherford's custody case denied in both New York and California: http://t.co/ejRblj3fNopic.twitter.com/mqQdqVNXUI
— Us Weekly (@usweekly) July 27, 2015*New York State said they do not have jurisdiction over this issue, California does/did
*California says that since the children have no current ties to Cali and live in NYC when they're in the US, it's not their jurisdiction -- Kelly and her kids haven't lived in California for years, though that state originally made the decision for the kids to live abroad with father Daniel Giersch
*Rutherford is considering appealing the California decision
*May have to just fight for custody in Monaco, where her children are living
*Considers this legal kidnapping
*Custody agreement has kids living with and going to school in Monaco, spending summers with their mother in the USA
*Rutherford was meant to write letters denying her previous allegations against Giersch, but has not. Giersch has not re-filed for a Visa.
*Some commentator at the article links to the judge's decision to explain the rational of why Kelly keeps losing. One aspect: her work schedule is so variable that she cannot commit to being available to the children if they live mostly with her. Suggested reading pages 13 to 39 (lol as though ONTD will even read these bullet points!)
