Elizabeth Edwards vs Rielle Hunter for Custody of John Edwards Children

June 2, 2010
Bookmark and Share

Over the weekend, the New York Daily News reported that Elizabeth Edwards is planning for her death and wants her daughterCate, 28, to take custody of her two youngest children, instead of their father  John Edwards. Elizabeth, who has been battling terminal cancer, apparently does not want her estranged husband’s baby mama Rielle Hunter to raise Emma Claire, 12, and Jack, 10. But on Tuesday, Elizabeth Edwards sent an email to ABC News saying that “The story is not true.” She did not give any information on plans for guardianship of the children or that state of her health.

The Edwards have been legally separated for about six months. Elizabeth has primary custody of the children, but it is unclear how much visitation John Edwards has with his children. Elizabeth’s attempt at planning guardianship of her children is seen as an attempt to keep Rielle Hunter from raising her children. (Hunter had an affair with Edwards during the 2008 presidential campaign which resulted in an out-of-wedlock daughter, two-year old Frances Quinn Hunter.)

The two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards has been trying to make a plea deal with prosecutors in the face of indictment by a grand jury for campaign finance fraud. If Edwards gets jail time from the plea deal he is currently negotiating or goes to trial after the expected indictment, he would not be able to raise the children. Even if Edwards avoids jail time, it is unclear if he has any interest in full custody of his children after their mother’s death.

    For one time, I basically desired that people could step back in order to check out the more prominent picture. Most people are likely to get misplaced in most the data that we neglect pertaining to what absolutely does matter. That is definitely why though the previous comments previously mentioned do offer exceptional specifics, these are off a wee bit.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
