“Then why would a grandmother want custody of a grandchild when there is a sweet, capable father?”

She doesn’t want custody....her strategy is to ask for custody. It gives her leverage until she’s certain she’s going to at least get visitation!!!

HKS is playing a different strategy. IMO, he’s basically blackmailing LB....Publicly he says he won’t fight Larry...Privately...he’s telling LB if he gives Virgie visitation, he WILL fight him for custody.

And as long as there is a chance that HKS will fight LB for custody, then Vergie MUST continue to keep her dog in the fight and ask for custody too! Yes, it appears to be she’s against Larry, but it’s really HKS she’s up against!

If the courts had given Virgie temporary guardianship today...HKS’s strategy against both LB and VA would have been NEUTRALIZED and IMO, that’s what they should have done.

IMO the court should of given Larry HIS daughter and set up gramma visits for Virgie and told Howie to take a hike

This is my opinion also.

Sociopaths can be clever and con even smart people. Some are sadistic and enjoy watching others suffer or slowly disintegrate, such as through drugs or mental breakdown. IMHO HKS is a sociopath.

Kim is right. Virgie is not asking for custody. She's asking for visitation and perhaps some type guardianship role where she will be able to act on behalf of her grand-daughter. It is unknown to the public right now if guardianship entails something long-term or is issue specific.

I suspect that's what Birkhead and Arthur will discuss tomorrow.
