Meghan King Loses Custody Over Unprescribed Meds
21 Nov
Summary
- Meghan King temporarily lost custody of her three children.
- She allegedly gave her son unprescribed Ritalin multiple times.
- A CPS investigation was triggered by a school nurse request.
Meghan King has temporarily lost custody of her three children, Aspen, Hart, and Hayes, to her ex-husband Jim Edmonds. The former 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star is accused of giving her 6-year-old twin son, Hayes, Ritalin on multiple occasions, despite the child not having a diagnosis for ADHD. This alleged medication misuse has led to a significant shift in their custody arrangement.
The situation reportedly escalated when King asked Hayes' school nurse to administer the unprescribed medication. This request prompted a Child Protective Services investigation into the matter. As a result, King's access to her children has been restricted to supervised visits twice a week, impacting her relationship with all three of her children.
A judge is slated to review the custody case in early December to determine a more permanent solution. King and Edmonds, who divorced in 2019, had been operating under a joint custody agreement since May 2021. This development marks a serious turn in their ongoing co-parenting dynamic.
