Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell’s Ex-Husband SUES Mama June Shannon For Custody!

perezhilton.com:

Oh no… Things just got messy for the Honey Boo Boo family. We were afraid of this. On Monday, The US Sun reported the late Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell‘s ex-husband has filed a custody lawsuit against her mother, Mama June Shannon. Michael Cardwell is the biological father of 8-year-old Kylee, and after Chickadee’s passing he was granted custody of his own child.

Makes sense. However, Mama June got custody of Chickadee’s eldest daughter Kaitlyn — and now Michael is suing to get Kaitlyn, too.

And no, he’s not the 11-year-old’s bio dad. OMG. In court documents obtained by the outlet, which were filed on Sunday, Michael argued he has “fully and completely undertaken a permanent, unequivocal, committed, and responsible parental role” in Kaitlyn’s life, and has “engaged in consistent caretaking of the child and established a bonded and dependent relationship with the child.” He says this bond was encouraged by Anna, from whom he split back in 2017.

He argued that while they may have been separated for over six years now, he continued an “independent relationship with” Kaitlyn, “which was fostered and supported by a parent of the child.” That’s in addition to his shared custody of her little sister Kylee.

The court docs continued: Michael further claimed he’s been paying for Kaitlyn’s schooling, while her alleged biological father Caleb Clark — whose paternity he says has never been confirmed by a DNA test — hasn’t ever supported the mother-daughter duo, and therefore has no legal custody rights over the child.
