PopEater: The Battle for Sunny: What Rights Does Sandra Bullock Have?

As allegations rise against Jesse James after being granted full custody of six-year-old Sunny, many people wonder if Sandra could possibly gain custody. With the biological mother, Lindemulder, planning to use the current scandal to regain custody of her daughter, it is likely she may win. Biological parents are known to always be the court’s first choice. With Sandra having a stable position in Sunny’s life, it may be sad to say her chances of gaining custody is slim to none.

Sue Moss, family attorney at Chemtob, Moss, Forman & Talbert, says, “”The saddest part of this situation is not that Jesse James gave up Sandra Bullock for this ‘lady,’ it’s that Sandra may lose her relationships with children she’s grown to love. Sandra is a biological and legal stranger to these children and has absolutely no rights to custody or visitation.”
