"Levittown — The new law lists factors judges must consider when awarding custody, including who's more likely to encourage contact with the other parent, stability for the child and sibling relationships."
"Getting the answer used to require an appeal to a higher court. But new changes to Pennsylvania's child custody laws mean that judges now must place the reasons for their decisions on the record. "
- Good! Previously the Judge that gave Kate everything was probably getting BJ's under the table from both Kate and TLC. Now, it must be documented.
"This is the most comprehensive overhaul of laws impacting custody matters for Pennsylvania families in decades," Mundorff said. "The new legislation provides our courts with an extensive list of factors that must be considered when awarding custody with the intent of keeping the interests of the children in the forefront."
"Another change allows judges to appoint independent attorneys to represent children who are caught in the middle of their parents' fighting. Older children who would like to have a say about which parent they live with will benefit most from this change, Algeo said. The fighting parents will be ordered to pay the fee for the child's lawyer."

Finally! There might be some justice for Jon +8! I wondered about the condition of Katie Irene's knees?! Since she got her way in almost everything, I thought the same thing...did she blow somebody off? LMAO!
I would love to read the judge's reasoning for awarding Katie Irene/TLC custody. It has to be MORE than financial. Hope it includes emotional/psychological/social!
And NOW it should be very interesting for the Gosselin 8 to be awarded a legal guardian since Katie is incapable of understanding what is "in the best interest of the Gosselin 8."
jj, thanx for posting this!
@HI 50
Fingers crossed! But knowing the Court System, I doubt they will do any thing in the kids favor. The system is OLD and the guys running it use a simple method.
A = Mom, B = Dad, and C = kids
If A and B are divorced, then C goes to A.
The end.
When Kate picks up the kids....How long a drive home you think...Does she live close to bus stop or what
@Anonymous
The bus stop is not far from home. However, the drive from school to the bus stop is at least an hour.
Great News but does this mean they will reexamine their case or is it from then forward?? I really hope those kids get off tv and Kate doesn't get permission to take those kids out of school again to go tramping around the globe to do what???? NOTHING!!!
One more question, how come the media only picks up pics of her getting sake, bus duty but doesn't report this very important news???? F U Media!!!

I believe the custody battle is still ongoing. And Jon did file 'contempt' charges against Kate on the 6th of Jan.
