    What Happened in the Custody Case<\/h2>\n

    Meghan King<\/b> has been stripped of physical custody following a Child Protective Services investigation<\/b>. Multiple sources confirmed to Us Weekly<\/b> that a decision was made in the past couple of months. The investigation was initiated after a school employee contacted CPS<\/b> about the former Real Housewives of Orange County<\/b> star.<\/p>\n

    Jim Edmonds<\/b> was awarded sole physical custody of their three children: 8-year-old Aspen<\/b> and 7-year-old twin sons Hart and Hayes<\/b>. King<\/b> received supervised visitation rights instead of her previous shared custody arrangement. A December hearing<\/b> will determine whether this custody shift becomes permanent.<\/p>\n

    The couple were married from 2014 to 2019<\/b> and originally reached a settlement in May 2021<\/b>. Their agreement had them sharing joint custody of all three children. The current custody decision marks a dramatic reversal in their co-parenting arrangement.<\/p>\n

    Background: From Shared Custody to CPS Investigation<\/h2>\n

    The custody change comes approximately six months after<\/b> a contentious incident at Jim and Kortnie Edmonds’ home<\/b> in May 2025<\/b>. King<\/b> arrived at the property to drop off a dress for her daughter, claiming she had notified her ex-husband beforehand. When she requested to speak with her daughter, Kortnie<\/b> informed her the child was not home.<\/p>\n

    According to police reports, King<\/b> refused to leave the premises and continued asking to speak to her daughter. Kortnie<\/b> reported that King<\/b> entered the home and began calling for her daughter inside. When Kortnie<\/b> returned to the door, she observed King<\/b> standing inside approximately five feet from the doorway.<\/p>\n

    “After Meghan moved her foot, Kortnie closed the door,” the police report noted after speaking to Kortnie<\/b>.<\/p>\n
