Sounds like things were a lot worse than what has been reported or surmised so far. Glad they settled it and seems like this is in the best interest of the kids.

I’m stunned at this honestly. She will only see her kids a few weeks in the summer?? That’s bs. I feel for her. I’m wondering if she has either a drug or alcohol problem? She looked really unwell in some recent photos.

This sort of reminds me of how Hayden Panettiere signed over custody of her daughter to Wladimir Klitschko.

Jim posting all these photos of the kids being spoiled and happy with Kortnie after he won custody rubbed me the wrong way.

This is reminding me of Britney Spears, and how it seems like she had PPD so KFed took the kids and it caused BritBrit to lose her mind. Her dad didn't care because it was easier to force her to work and earn him money if she wasn't busy momming. What will Megan do without a job or kids to take care of? She won't get child support since the kids won't be supported by her. Do we think she'll try to get back on Real Housewives even though she's not a housewife?

Also marrying a man six weeks after meeting when you have 3 young children at home and wanting to move to California with him but can’t because the children’s father won’t let you, then splitting up 2 months later is not the sign of a stable person.

What in the world is she doing? Her children are too young to be diagnosed with bipolar.

She talked about it a lot in 2024. She did say the doctors were calling it DMDD for now but it was clear she is sure he will be diagnosed as bipolar when older. DMDD is often a pre-bipolar disorder diagnosis so who knows. He also has cerebral palsy and according to Meghan ‘irreversible brain damage’. So it sounds like a pretty complex situation.

She didn’t give up custody. She lost custody. The current deal is likely the best she would get at this time given her behavior.

She needs to go to rehab and become the mother these kids need. Then she can petition for more custody.

Wrong. It says they cut a deal right before court. Megan agreed to the deal. She did not lose custody. It sounds like she accepted the deal. I don’t know why.

Kids with severe behavioral issues like one of hers apparently has used to be able to be diagnosed with bipolar. Now it is more often ADHD or autism but it is possible that a more old school doctor used the bipolar label.

Nope. She had already lost custody. The judge was about to make it permanent. Her deal with Jim was better than she would have faired in court.

No they didn’t. Not for children under the age 13. We now know that diagnosis such a bipolar need to wait until the person is a late teen early 20s.

How could a judge make it worse than this few weeks each summer? Terminate parental rights completely?

And now her daughter will be raised by a porn star.

The whole thing is baffling. She's no one’s favorite tv villian but to only see her kids a few weeks every summer is nuts. My conspiracy theory is that Jim orchestrated the whole thing and moved to Tennessee to make it more difficult for her to see them. He doesn't want to have a fourth set of kids with his fourth wife so he's giving her his third wife’s kids.

I totally agree. When Meghan was his third wife, he did the same thing with her. He had his kids from a previous marriage that Meghan tried to step parent disastrously. She eventually wanted her own kids and here we are.

Yes they did. It was very commented on. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165032719327028

It’s possible she was struggling to parent AND that he was making it worse or not giving the support she needed. Either way I hope she does whatever she needs to do to get them back.

Jim did not make Meghan give her son an illegal drug nor ask a school nurse to give her son an illegal drug. Your misandry is ridiculous and doesn’t recognize the seriousness of what Meghan did.

How long will Kortnie and Jim’s marriage last with full-time custody? He cheated on all his other wives and has never been much of a dad to his other kids, and Kortnie’s role has been limited to holiday parenting anf she spends most of her life on vacation. Even with a full time nanny, parenting young kids, including one with special needs is hard. Plus he has 2 other sets of kids and grandkids. This should be interesting.

Maybe. I'm sure she accepted the deal on her lawyer's advice. Very sad. Hope she gets the help she needs and can work toward getting more custodial time in the coming years.

None of us has heard a thing from her side. It's all whatever his PR team has selectively leaked. I'm guessing she got her son a prescription for ritalin without Jim’s involvement, and it was considered “illegal” because they had joint legal decision-making. I can't imagine why else any reasonable, educated mother would give her kid ritalin.
