Michael Cardwell, who is the ex-husband of the late Anna Cardwell, is asking for donations to fight Mama June. He wants custody of Anna’s eldest daughter, Kaitlyn Shannon, who is currently living with June and her husband, Justin Stroud. So, how is he going about asking for the money? Keep reading for more details.
Mama June Anna Cardwell’s Ex Asks For Custody Trial Donations
Anna Cardwell struggled with her time being cut short on this Earth. She learned that she had stage 4 adrenal carcinoma in early 2023. Though she did all that she could, it was progressively getting worse. Her family, mainly Mama June and Pumpkin, encouraged her to start planning. She needed to have an idea of where her daughter, Kaitlyn would go if and when she passed. Her youngest daughter, Kylee would go to Anna’s ex-husband, Michael Cardwell as that was their only biological child together.
As for Kaitlyn, her dad was never in her life though Michael claimed he had helped with schooling fees and was her main father figure. When it came down to it, Mama June wanted custody of Kaitlyn but Anna wanted to list her current husband, Eldridge Toney on the custody papers. This did not sit well with June. Sadly, Anna passed at the end of last week’s episode. Now, she is in the middle of a custody battle with Michael Cardwell as he wants the girls to be raised together. More so, he is trying to raise funds to make this a real possibility.
According to a Reddit thread, Elle Bee posted what is going on with the custody situation. It seems that if anyone wants to help, as some have apparently been asking how they can do so, he gave information. Not only did he give out Kylee’s financial information but also his personal Cash App. One person wrote this:
- I sure hope the judge keeps these sisters together.. Mama June milking that screentime with Kaitlyn.. so sad and way too soon after Anna’s death.
The next court date is set for this month at some point.
Keep Them Together
Many fans believe the sisters should be kept together. They have seen Mama June, Justin Stroud, and Josh Efird be abusive on TikTok Live toward Kaitlyn. Therefore, they want her out of that environment. Another Reddit thread was started to discuss the custody case and many were shocked it was still ongoing:
-
This is ridiculous. That poor little girl. Wasn’t June and Justin talking about moving out of state when school is out for the summer?
- Honestly it’s really p*ssing me off that June is doing this! She’s so damn ignorant. She only wants custody for the paycheck.
Time will tell what happens and if there will be another postponement. More so, it will be interesting to see who speaks up on Michael and June’s behalf. Or, if they will bring in what Anna Cardwell said on television about wanting Eldridge Toney to have custody but June pushing paperwork on her.
Do you think Michael should keep up the fight? Let us know and watch Family Crisis Fridays on WeTV.
