Mama June Shannon wins custody of granddaughter Kaitlyn, 12, in legal battle against her late daughter Anna Toney's ex-husband Michael Cardwell


The 45-year-old reality star has had temporary custody since 'Chickadee' tragically lost her 10-month battle to stage four adrenal carcinoma, at age 29, on December 9

In his ruling, the judge noted that Michael 'never provided any significant financial support for this child,' who testified at a July hearing that she wanted to continue living with the 45-year-old grandmother-of-four - according to In Touch Weekly. Kaitlyn's therapist also testified that she feared being taken away from June - who's had temporary custody since Toney tragically lost her 10-month battle to stage four adrenal carcinoma, at age 29, on December 9. In her legal docs, Shannon claimed that Cardwell 'frequently physically abused Anna and the child' during their marriage, which he vehemently denied as they 'simply separated due to differences in opinions and personalities.'
