Nadya Suleman Loses Court Battle Over Money for Kids

Nadya Suleman went to court today in an attempt to block any outside guardians to oversee her children’s finances. A judge hearing the case today denied Nadya’s request, and invited the Department of Social Services to conduct an investigation into the matter.

Gloria Allred said in the court papers that Suleman is potentially exploiting her octuplets for financial gain. Suleman’s attorney said Allred is involved to promote herself. Both sides are correct in our opinion

After court today Allred released the following statement:

"We are very happy that the court has upheld the law and allowed us to proceed with our case and our efforts to protect Nadya Suleman’s octuplets. Nadya Suleman’s attorneys attempted to dismiss our case but failed in their efforts. Although it is a victory for us, it is more importantly a victory for Nadya Suleman’s octuplets."

"We are also very pleased that the court has invited the Department of Social Services to conduct an investigation and file a report and recommendation to the court. It appears to us that the court wants to be sure that the children’s interests are protected."

"Our client Paul Petersen’s paramount concern is the best interests of the children. We look forward to our next date in court on this matter."

The Department of Social Services is expected to file a report giving a recommendation regarding the guardianship of the children’s estate in time for another hearing on October 29.

We are pleased someone, besides Suleman, is looking out for the children especially after Suleman said in her two hour Fox TV special:

"I screwed up my life. I screwed up my kids’ lives. What was I thinking?"

It’s a good thing other people will be doing the thinking when it comes to the money earned by the octuplets.
