Kate Gosselin Is Taking Jon Gosselin To Court & Wants Him Held In Contempt For Breaking Their Custody Agreement!
Kate believes Jon has been selling and tweeting information about their eight little Gosselins, which strictly violates their custody order!
Kate Gosselin isn’t messing around! Despite being halfway around the world filming scenes in Australia and New Zealand with her kiddies for an upcoming episode of Kate Plus 8, the reality star had her lawyers file a Contempt of Custody petition on Jan. 6 against ex-husband Jon Gosselin!
TMZ reports that Kate believes Jon is, “willfully disobeying the orders” that the judge has been making on “various decisions” recently to “make a buck.”
Kate’s suing Jon for child support!
Prior to Kate, the kids and bodyguard Steve Neild traveling 22 hours on a first class flight to Australia, Jon tried to put the brakes on the trip as he expected to see the kids on New Years Day as part of their custody agreement — but a judge intervened and ruled in Kate’s favor.
Kate Gosselin forces her kids to take stale food to school!
A hearing is set for Jon and Kate later this month — this is about to get ugly!

Wow, get your facts straight. Hm, where does it say that Kate is trying to keep the children from their Father?? Shes taking him to Court – for contempt – for not following a Court order – which she has EVERY right to do! It isn’t UP to HER to take away visitation and no Judge – NO JUDGE is going to end visitation over a contempt charge. Hm and Jenspal, wishful thinking hun. Kate will lose control due to the new Pa. child custody laws? Better read all of that over and over again S L O W L Y. When you’ve finished – read Liz’s post.

JON IS THE FATHER NO MATTE WHO HE SLEEPS WITH OR WHAT HE SMOKES. SHE CAN NOT KEEP THE KIDS AWAY FROM HIM. THE JUDGE SHOULD MAKE THE TWO OF THEM SPEND TIME IN PARENTING CLASSES. WHERE IS THE EXTENDED FAMILY. WHERE IS THE BEST FRIEND OF KATE.. STOP BASHING THE FATHER..IT ONLY HURTS THE KIDS. THEY LOVE BOTH PARENTS. LET HIM FATHER THE BEST HE CAN…HE WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO FATHER THE KIDS…LET HIM DO IT. GOD WILL HELP HIM DO THE RIGHT THING.

There’s a reason why Kate’s friends, siblings & parents (yes, her parents!!) all do not speak to her anymore. What kind of person do you have to be to alienate your friends & your whole family?!!? Jon still talks to his friends & family & they still talk to him. Sadly for the children, Kate is about nothing more than the money & the fame. And she has no qualms about using her kids to get them!! People like Kate shouldn’t be allowed to have children. She should have been spayed. LOL what kind of Mother keeps her children away from their Father or uses them as pawns?!?

How to ruin your life, screw up your children and make a complete arse of your life Jon Gosselin style:
- Taking only one of your daughters skiing so you can smoke pot, booze it up and screw bimbos.
- Cheat on your wife and actually bringing the new girlfriend home to tan on your lawn while your wife is working… before you are even legally separated.
- While you are the once cheating on your spouse sell a story to the tabloids that she is sleeping with the bodyguard who’s own is actually close friends with your family and even protected your life at once point.
- Abandoning your kids and moving to a different state.
- Trashing your employer, breaking a contract and trying to put your wife out of a job while you sleazily schmooze with lawyers and tv producers.
- Steal 180 grand out of your joint account so your wife can’t pay the mortage and children’s school tuition.
- Borrow and not pay back the 180 grand so you can avoid contempt of court from your latest girlfriend.
- Shoot off a handgun at your children’s home.
- Hire a pap/bodyguard to take pics of your kids during your scheduled visitation and sell the stories to the tabloids.
- Spend more time at the fence with your insane fans than playing with your children.
- Go on a national TV campaign to trash your employer and the mother of your children and all the while secretly negociating other TV deals.
- Give up custody of your eight kids so you can spend more time with girls just a few years older than your daughters.
- When your latest girlfriend leaves you because you didn’t pay the rent on your NY apartment slash your belongings and make it look like you were the victim of some kind of a TV style slasher movie incident. I guess because your sleeze bag lawyer who can’t actually practice in any of the states you actually need a lawyer in and who represents a serial killer…. kind of you warped your mind.
- Take up chain smoking, jewish fantasies, pot smoking and spend your time designing tattos with spelling mistakes.
- Don’t see your children for at least six weeks iin a rown and then accuse your wife of being an absentee parent while she is off working and is the only financial provider for your family while you sleep on the couch of your brothers and play video games.
- Trade twitter hate my ex-wife rants back and forth with your new girlfriend.
- Put yourself in contempt of court once again to spite the mother of your children as you sell your children’s school records to the tabloids.
- Actually get a job and were those ugly douchey sunglasses to a client meeting.

Good news for the Gosselin 8! The PA custody laws are changing this month and it looks like mommy-dearest just might lose control over the kids. From the AP:
Reworked child custody law about to take effect
MARK SCOLFORO
The Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Child custody disputes are by nature emotionally charged, but a new state law that goes into effect later this month introduces several changes into the system that could ease the pain for Pennsylvania families as they break up.
The Legislature, during November’s lame duck session, approved new custody rules, the last chapter of what has been a decade-long effort.
“If the process isn’t fair, the parents continue to do battle, and the child is scarred as a result of that,” said Senate Judiciary Chairman Stewart Greenleaf, R-Montgomery, who pushed for the revisions. “The quicker we can resolve these issues, the less trauma is inflicted upon the child.”
Family law attorneys and judges around the state are currently familiarizing themselves with changes that are designed to improve fairness and transparency in a process that, for many people, will be their only direct contact with the judicial system.
“It’s not a magic bullet, and there’s nothing more grueling and emotional than a custody trial,” said Norristown attorney Cheryl L. Young, who chairs the state bar association’s family law section. “Hopefully some of this will allow more parents to settle.”
Judges are now required to state on the record their reasons for making decisions, which some consider the most significant change.
“Some judges would be very clear and others would just enter an order, ‘Granted,’ ‘Dismissed,’ or ‘Here’s your custody order,’” Young said. “Now they understand at least what the judge was thinking.”
Custodial parents who want to move away will have to give the other parent a chance to object beforehand, closing a gap in existing law that caused repeated problems, said Maria Cognetti, a Camp Hill lawyer who spent years working on the legislation for the Joint State Government Commission.
“As much as I’ve very successfully brought relocation cases for my clients who want to move, I’m very much against the ‘I found a new boyfriend on the Internet and I’m moving to California’ move,” Cognetti said.
The law states that neither the father nor the mother should be automatically assumed to be the more appropriate custodial parent, which does not change existing law but highlights it with stronger language. Some fathers’ rights advocates had pushed for a presumption of joint custody, a proposal that did not make it into the new law.
“The fathers’ groups always felt, fairly or unfairly, that the presumption was with the mother,” said Gregg Warner, Senate Judiciary counsel. “So this legislation tried to make it clear that the judge should start with no presumption.”
Two provisions that drew concern from judges dealt with the role of ‘guardian ad litem’ attorneys who are sometimes appointed by judges in complicated cases. They will now be required to submit written reports, and there are tougher new rules about how judges should evaluate criminal convictions of members of the child’s household.
The statute lists factors judges have to consider in awarding custody, including who is more likely to encourage contact with the other parent, stability in the child’s life, sibling relationships, level of conflict and parental drug and alcohol use.
The law allows judges to order both parents to submit parenting plans ahead of time, a procedure already used in other states and in some parts of Pennsylvania, and which should streamline cases and keep the focus on children’s needs.
“Don’t do what’s best for you, and I know this is hard, do what’s best for the child even if you don’t like it,” said state Supreme Court Justice Max Baer, who handled custody cases during a decade on the family court bench in Allegheny County. “It makes parents sit down and focus on the realities of the scenario.’
Baer considers the new law a clear step forward in an area of the law that can always use improvement.
“The state is a terrible parent, I’m the first to tell you that. And a judge is a terrible parent,” Baer said. “In the five minutes that this dysfunctional couple is in my courtroom, or even the half-day that they’re in the courtroom, I can’t know enough of the nuances to parent the child. And yet they want you to.”

suebonnet, really? You hope jon loses his visitation and you think ellen is ugly. Hmmm. You sound so very sheeply; kate must have about 4 fans left these days. Tell us, would Jon losing visitation benefit anyone? Not the kids. Kate has a lot of nerve considering how much SHE bashes Jon and how she calls the paparazzi and sells photos of the kids to the tabloids. He should countersue. She just wants to divert attention away from her dragging the kids all over NZ, with the ‘bodyguard’ there to take pictures so they can sell them and split the $$. She also wants complete control of the kids so she can continue to make money off of them. She is the worst mother on the planet.

Why anyone would wish for a judge to remove Jon’s visitation rights is just beyond me. Why would you wish that on the kids, who love him very much? Kate should be VERY careful in persuing contempt charges because a judge could rule the other way and find HER in contempt for going on Regis/Kelly, The View, Larry King, and other media outlets and trashing not only Jon but also telling the world how each and every single one of her kids is suffering. She can’t deny it…it’s all on video PLUS she even wrote a book about it soooo….looks more like KATE is the one breaking the court order. Feel bad for the kids who are in the middle of this mess. Feel bad that their MOTHER and a JUDGE said it was more important to WORK than to spend any time with their father over the holidays, to deny them from seeing their father for a MONTH, for thinking WORK is more important than school….especially when 2 of the kids got expelled and the rest are WAY behind the other children in their age group/class. WAKE UP JUDGE! Where is Gloria Allred now???? SPEAK UP AND GET THESE KIDS OFF TV!

I hope he brings up in court how TWO of the kids got suspended from school while in her care. GO JON I hope she loses in court!

Please just stop it. You and the world know that it is Jon and Ugly Ellen selling stories. Jon is the one willingly going against what the COURTS tell him. I am really happy that Kate is going to take him back to court since he wants to do what ever he wishes. Kate should have had Jon arrested when he hacked into her cell phone and email. Jon needs to stop and if he can’t stop himself let the LAW stop him.

You make NO SENSE! Why would anyone be happy that 2 parents can’t get along for the sake of their children???? Kate does whatever SHE wishes so why can’t Jon? Double standard here. Quit defending that sad excuse for a mother and start defending those poor kids who are stuck in the middle of this nightmare. How would YOU feel if your mother did this to you? How would YOU feel if your mother aired ALL of YOUR dirty laundry to the world for money???? How would YOU feel if your mother trashed your father every chance she got??? These are little kids for crying out loud and Kate continues to use them to make money while denying them the loving relationship they need and deserve from their father and extended family/friends. When are people going to stop making excuses for Kate and start thinking about the kids involved? Save The Gosselin 8 on FB!
