CelebHomes News confirmed April 22 that Keith has filed for divorce after 12 years of marriage and is asking for temporary custody of Tyler, 9, and Violet, 7.
CelebHomes reached Sherri’s lawyer for comment.
“Now that I have learned the truth as reflected in the plea arrangement” Sherri made, Keith stated in a declaration filed in Shasta County Superior Court and obtained by the Sacramento Bee“I must be decisive to protect my children’s lives from traumatizing mother”
Sherri wasn’t visiting the children since April 4th and missed one of their scheduled visits. The father claimed that he wanted future visits to be decided by “what I believe in their best interests.”
Describing how difficult Sherri’s disappearance was on its own, compounded by the “turmoil” of the last five-and-a-half years, he added, “We, both children and I, need time to recover and stabilize.”
Keith stated, “I would like to clarify that my goal in providing a safe and loving environment for Tyler, Violet, and Violet, and that the requests I have been given are compatible with that goal and best interest of their children.” He didn’t want to say anything about Sherri’s case that “would inflame the situation or attract media attention.”
He stated that he was asking for the court to protect his children from the adverse effects of the notoriety and fame of their mother.
