Courtney Love Loses Legal Guardianship Of Her Daughter To Kurt's Family

courtneyfrancescustody.jpg

Troubled rocker Courtney Love has lost legal guardianship of her 17-year-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, to Kurt Cobain's mother and sister.

Court documents filed Friday show that Cobain's mother, Wendy O'Connor and Kimberly Dawn Cobain, Kurt's sister, have temporary guardianship over the tot, which includes overseeing the well-being of her personally, as well as her finances. They will not, however, have any power over her estate.

Courtney Love was not present at the hearing, which was presided over by the same judge who heard Britney Spears' conservatorship case.

Love had previously lost custody of her daughter to O'Connor, but regained guardianship in 2005.



Why did they wait so long to intervene?

Who cares! I found a great datingsite (((((( S e e k i n g R i c h 。c0m )))) last week. The best datingclub for seeking the richsingles, sexy beauties. what's the most important is that you don't have to be a milllionaire, but you can meet one. Charlie Sheen found his true love on that site in 2007.

I'm surprised Courtney is still among the living. Or is she?

Courtney-get your act together-it's bad enough she doesn't have her dad-damn.

Leave Courtney alone!! She's been through enough already, as has Frances. It was well documented Kurt and his mom didn't get along so why subject Frances to Wendy?? And anyway, as of August 18 2010 Frances will be old enough to look after herself!!

She needs to get it together. That poor child. I'm pretty sure she has raised herself as it is. Might be nice for her to bond with her grandma and aunt til her mom can clean up her act.

this judge is mean taking away someones child theirs no such thing as a perfect mum at 17 i think shes old enough to stay with her mum

I have four daughters that I have raised and it wasn't easy-but they have always been and are my priority. A mother daughter relationship is precious beyond jewels. Courtney needs to get it together for her DAUGHTER. I would like to be able to go out and party but that ends when you have kids-if you want to be a resposible parent. Courtney has talent but no fame or parties can take the place of your childs respect and love. Now my daughters take me shopping and we are great friends...and now I have grandsons. True riches.

There is still time for Courtney to make it up to her-no mother is perfect. But she'd better hurry up before it's too late. Frances is indeed a beauty and between those two musical talents she could go far. He father was awesome...

Kurt's mom raised Frances. She was taught to be her own person. Thank god she's nothing like her mom. I'm so happy Wendy and Kimberly stepped up again.

I’m happy for you and your family.

You are all truly blessed!

Frances Bean Cobain Wants to Live with Grandmother
By Ken Lee, Monday December 14, 2009 08:00 PM EST

Courtney Love has lost legal control over her daughter, but it's not because of a drug relapse as has been speculated, her lawyer tells PEOPLE.

"Courtney's been clean for years and is perfectly fine," says her attorney Keith A. Fink. "This is simply about Frances preferring to live with her grandmother at this time."

On Friday, a judge appointed Kurt Cobain's mother Wendy O'Connor and her daughter Kimberly Cobain as temporary legal guardians over Frances Bean. A hearing on the matter is set for Feb. 10.

"Frances is 17 and a strong-willed child, and this is a decision she made on her own," Fink adds. "No matter what, Courtney loves her daughter more than anything in the world."

This isn't the first time O'Connor has been named guardian of Frances.

In 2003, L.A. County officials removed Frances from her mother following the singer's arrest for attempting to break into her ex-boyfriend's home. O'Connor was given legal control over the girl.

But Love regained custody in January 2005 after the singer proved to the court that she turned her life around and had kicked her drug habit.

Last year, Frances told Harper's Bazaar that O'Connor, who lives in Olympia, Wash., has been a constant force in her life. "She's probably the person I respect most out of anybody in the world," she told the magazine.

Geraldine Wyle, a lawyer for Frances and the two guardians, said only, "This is a private family matter."

Okay, 9:05pm, I'll help her if I see her in Washington state. ;) Or else I'll go, "whoa, there is Frances Bean Cobain. Surreal."

Thanks heavens Frances is back with her grandma. The judge was an idiot for sending Frances back to her whacky mom the first time.
