LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A judge has ordered the ex-husband of actress Kelly Rutherford to return their two children to her over concerns that a custody order has been violated.
Rutherford, who starred on “Melrose Place,” filed an emergency petition on Friday, stating that her ex-husband has petitioned a court in Monaco to change the citizenship of their son and daughter.
In response, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mark Juhas ordered that Daniel Giersch must return the children to the United States pending an upcoming hearing.
The order, first reported by People magazine, expresses concern that Giersch has repeatedly violated the 2013 custody order allowing the children to live with him abroad while he sorted out a United States visa issue.
An email sent to Giersch was not immediately returned.
