Jim Edmonds Flaunts Custody Victory Amid Meghan King’s Loss

Jim Edmonds is counting his blessings, and at the highest of the list is the recent change within the custody arrangement involving his ex-wife, Meghan King.

Following King and Edmonds’ split in 2019, the estranged pair continued to co-parent their three kids. Nevertheless, things have recently taken a significant turn, with Edmonds now granted sole custody and King having limited access.

This Thanksgiving, the 55-year-old former baseball star is proudly showing off his kids, whom he’s most grateful for.

Over the weekend, the previous MLB player took to his Instagram to share some fun-filled moments from the family celebration. The nine-slide carousel opened up with a snap of Jim, Aspen, Hart, Hayes, and his recent wife, Kortnie, all smiles as they posed outside a ranch.

The next slides showed highlights from Aspen’s ninth Taylor Swift-themed birthday. A pink birthday cake decorated with the phrase “Feeling 9 (Aspen’s Version)” together with heart emojis, a guitar, and a football with the number “87,” a playful nod to Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, and his Kansas City Chiefs jersey.

Other pictures featured Aspen happily holding a labubu toy and pink balloons. Edmonds captioned the post, “What per week! So much to be pleased about,” tagging Kortnie to it.

While Edmonds enjoyed the vacation with their children, King spent it by herself.

In accordance with The Blast, a source revealed that although the truth TV star is allowed supervised visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays, she didn’t mark Thanksgiving along with her little ones. 

As a substitute, the kids were scheduled to have a good time with Edmonds and his wife at their Tennessee home, leaving King alone.

This recent arrangement follows a Child Protective Services investigation that resulted in King temporarily losing custodial rights. A court hearing set for later this month will determine whether that call becomes everlasting.

Before King’s defeat as primary caregiver, tensions had been high between her, Edmonds, and his recent partner. Months back, Jim and Kortnie slammed the TV personality with a restraining order, which King didn’t protest to avoid more legal drama.

In accordance with the documents, Kortnie recalled that the encounter began with King arriving at her residence, demanding to drop off a dress, which Kortnie insisted she could leave on the door. 

Nevertheless, King refused, and Kortnie claimed King ignored repeated requests to depart, and Jim backed her account, noting he had video evidence of the incident.

The court document confirmed that a consent order, established in June, requires King and  Edmonds to maintain a distance of a minimum of 150 feet from each other every time they attend events or activities involving the kids.

King’s temporary lack of custodial rights reportedly stems from a serious incident involving considered one of her twin sons. Per The Blast, Child Protective Services became involved after King allegedly instructed a faculty nurse to manage Ritalin to the kid.

Nevertheless, he had not been officially diagnosed with ADHD and didn’t have a prescription for the medication. A teacher became aware of the request and alerted authorities, resulting in an investigation and the court’s decision to grant Edmonds sole responsibility for the kids.

Gina Kirschenheiter emphasized that details from legal documents should remain private to guard the kids, while Tamra Judge expressed hope that the matter might be resolved soon.

Although King was unable to have a good time along with her daughter, she made sure Aspen felt the love on her special occasion. 

Taking to her Instagram Stories, King penned a heartfelt note to her girl. She wrote, “A spectacular gift from God was born nine years ago today. That is once I learned what love is. I like you, Aspen King Edmonds. I like you to infinity.”

Because the custody case continues, King has remained quiet on social media regarding the legal battle, seemingly waiting for the court’s final decision, set to occur this month.
