Liddell Accuses Ex of Abducting Daughter

Former UFC fighter Chuck Liddell has requested an emergency custody order for his 14-year-old daughter, Guinevere, alleging his ex-wife, Heidi Northcott, abducted the teenager. Liddell claims Northcott took Guinevere from his home last Thursday, during his designated custodial week, and moved her to Orange County. This action allegedly violates existing court orders, including communication protocols and the custody schedule. Liddell expressed concern that Guinevere might miss the crucial first week of high school and lose her spot on the volleyball team. Northcott refutes the abduction claims, asserting that Guinevere pleaded to be taken from her father's residence. She also accused Liddell of attempting to control her since their divorce. A court hearing is slated for August 24 to address Liddell's request for sole physical custody. Liddell's filing also cited potential emotional distress for Guinevere's younger brother, Charlie, due to the separation. He is seeking monitored visitation for Northcott, fearing further manipulation or alienation of the children. The former couple, married in 2011, finalized their divorce in April 2025 after a protracted legal battle. The upcoming hearing on August 24 will determine temporary custody and potential restrictions on Northcott's contact.
