Kelly Rutherford's child custody case has another complication | The Law Office of Bradley R. Tengler
On behalf of The Law Office of Bradley R. Tengler, Inc. posted in Child Custody on Friday, July 31, 2015.
Fans in Illinois of Kelly Rutherford may have been following her very complicated child custody battle. Initially, a California court ordered that Rutherford's ex-husband have custody of the children in Monaco after he lost his visa and had to return to the country. Since then, Rutherford has had to fly to Monaco in order to see her children.
Recently, she made another attempt to bring her child back to the United States. However, a California judge ruled that the state did not have jurisdiction over the matter since Rutherford did not live in the state enough of the time to establish residence. This was very frustrating for Rutherford since it was a California court that made the initial decision and she resided in California about the same amount of time then.
The court made no ruling as to the merits of the case nor did it transfer jurisdiction to Monaco. Now, Rutherford may have to take up her battle in New York where she lives most of the time.
Child custody determinations can be very difficult ones to make. In Illinois, they are based on a number of factors that are analyzed to determine what is in the best interests of the child. However, for an Illinois court to have jurisdiction to make that decision, the parents must have resided in the state for a period of time prior to commencement. This is the issue that Rutherford is dealing with now. Most child custody cases are not as complicated as Rutherford's since, generally, the parents both reside in the same state.
Many parents in Illinois are separated but have children together. In these situations, many times there is a child custody order stating which parent will be making the decisions regarding the children and where they will reside. These decisions can be very complicated and are very fact-specific. Experienced child custody attorneys understand these types of cases and may be able to guide one through the process.

Brentwood Academy coach Cody White knows his team’s greatest strength this season will be at the line of scrimmage.
“I think games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage, so I’d much prefer what we have right now, which is a veteran offensive line,” White said after Monday’s first full-padded practice of the 2018 preseason. “We’re definitely proved at the line of scrimmage on both sides, and that’s how I prefer it.”
It’s a far cry from season ago, when the Eagles utilized a veteran quarterback along with a stable of established skill players to win their third straight state title in the TSSAA’s largest Division II classification.
BA instead will be relying upon a veteran offensive line that consists of returning starters Nate Clifton, Thomas Gore and Will Collins along with Luke Collins and 6-foot-6, 265-pound sophomore Ensworth transfer Eli Sutton.
“Whatever we do goes,” Clifton said before heading to a morning film session. “We have to lead and motivate the rest of the team."
The three-time state champion coach spent much of Monday’s practice gauging talent all across Carlton Flatt Field. The process of plugging holes, however, probably won’t be completed for at least a couple of weeks.
“We’re going to play the best guys; of course you really won’t see who that is until you get into scrimmages,” he said. “(Today) you’re looking at guys that have developed in the offseason and seeing if that shows up. When you see someone that’s improved athletically and physically and has become more mature, you want to see that show up with the pads on.”
The biggest question mark for the Eagles this season will be the one at quarterback, where junior Wade Williams and sophomore Tayler Montiel began battling it out Monday.
Whichever one secures the job will have a lot to live up to as the previous two Eagles quarterbacks — Austin Peay sophomore Jeremiah Oatsvall and Vanderbilt freshman Gavin Schoenwald — not only enjoyed success statistically, but also brought home state titles.
“If you don’t like pressure, you can’t play quarterback at Brentwood Academy, and I think those guys know that coming in,” White said. “Plug and play is a bad thing to say, but my expectations are that we just roll on.”
White called the 6-foot-2, 182-pound Williams "faster than any quarterback we've ever had here." He also praised Montiel's arm strength and his ability to make reads from the pocket.
“We’ll have some inexperienced guys but also some guys that have played," White said. "I feel like we’ll be pretty good, and you don’t need to be great until the end of the season.”
Clifton believes that will be the case and is expecting his senior season to end the same way his first three at BA did.
“I’m motivated to win another 'ship,” Clifton said. “They said (we couldn’t) when we won it two years ago after we lost that huge line we had. Then they said that last year after we lost (Oatsvall). It really hasn’t affected us.”
The Pinhoti Trail system runs for approximately 300 miles from Polk County, Alabama to the Benton Mackaye Trail, passing through Whitfield County along the way, connecting to the Appalachian Trail system in North East Georgia. Section 12 of the Pinhoti begins at Snake Creek Gap off Hwy 136 in Walker County and ends atop Dug Gap Mountain in Dalton. The trail is steep and technical in sections but offers beautiful scenery along the way and a challenge to most.
Section 13 of the Pinhoti is a paved section beginning at Dug Gap Mountain on Dug Gap Battle Road and traveling Walnut Avenue, Airport road, and Tibbs Bridge Road into Murray County. The Pinhoti Trail is the longest foot trail in Georgia.
In Dalton, the trail is accessible across from Dug Gap Battle Park, I-75 Exit 333 then west up Dug Gap Battle Road.
