In August of 2009, Kelly and Daniel reached a temporary agreement of sharing 50 / 50 custody of their two kids. However, Kelly was determined to have joint custody of her kids and as a result, she asked the court to give her primary custody.

Then in 2012, the court ordered the custody will remain as it was before. But as Daniel wasn’t allowed to travel to the US due to his involvement in fraud, the kids will stay with their dad in France and Monaco. And Kelly will be allowed to visit them in those countries.
