Courtney Love loses legal custody of daughter
By ANITuesday, December 15, 2009
WASHINGTON - Courtney Love has lost legal custody of her 17-year-old daughter with late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
At present, Los Angeles court has appointed temporary guardians over Frances Bean.
Now, Cobain’s mother Wendy O’Connor and his younger sister, Kimberly have legal, medical and financial authority over the teenager.
“This doesn’t necessarily mean that Courtney Love is an unfit mother and has completely lost custody,” People mag quoted L.A. probate attorney Jeffrey S. Cohen, who’s not involved with the case, as saying.
He added: “It’s too early to say. It could be because she’s simply going out of state for a long period of time.”
Meanwhile, Frances Bean and the two guardians’ lawyer Geraldine Wyle, said: “This is a private family matter.”
Bean has said in the past that her paternal grandmother has been a great support.
She told Harper’s Bazaar last year: “She’s probably the person I respect most out of anybody in the world.” (ANI)
