Real Housewives of Orange County alum Meghan King is currently on supervised visitation with her three children after a Child Protective Services investigation led to a temporary custody change, according to multiple reports.
Sources told Us Weekly that King, 41, lost physical custody in recent months. Her ex-husband, former MLB player Jim Edmonds, 55, currently has sole physical custody while King has been granted supervised visitation. The arrangement is described as temporary, with a hearing scheduled for early December to determine whether it becomes permanent.
While specific details remain under seal, the CPS probe reportedly began after a school employee contacted authorities regarding concerns about King. Representatives for King did not immediately respond to requests for comment, per Life & Style.
Temporary Custody Shift Follows CPS Call
King and Edmonds married in 2014 and announced their split in 2019. Their divorce was finalized in May 2021, at which time they agreed to share joint custody of their three children: daughter Aspen, now 8, and twins Hart and Hayes, 7. The recent adjustment marks a significant change from that arrangement, though the court has yet to rule on a long-term plan.
According to Us Weekly, the temporary order follows a series of escalating incidents this year. The outlet reports that the most notable occurred on May 1 at Edmonds’ home, where he lives with his current wife, Kortnie Edmonds. Police were called to the residence, and a report was filed by the Frontenac Police Department.
In the written report, Kortnie was identified as the "victim" and King as the "subject" of the incident. Authorities did not arrest or detain King, and charges were not pursued after Kortnie later withdrew her initial request.
Police Report Details May 1 Incident
Per the police account, the incident began when King arrived at the Edmonds residence to drop off a dress for Aspen. King claimed she had spoken to Jim before arriving. Upon reaching the house, King was reportedly told that Edmonds and Aspen were not present.
The report states that Kortnie asked King to leave the property. King allegedly refused, saying she wanted to speak with her daughter. After Kortnie closed the front door, King allegedly entered the home and called out for Aspen. An officer wrote that Kortnie returned to the entryway and observed King standing inside "approximately 5 feet from the doorway."
Kortnie told police she again asked King to exit. As King moved back outside, she allegedly "wedged her foot in the door briefly" so that Kortnie could not "shut the door completely," according to the report. The document notes that after King moved her foot, Kortnie closed the door and later contacted authorities.
Although Kortnie initially sought charges, she subsequently notified police that she had changed her mind. No arrest was made in connection with the incident.
Restraining Order Petition Dismissed After Agreement
The day after the altercation, on May 2, Kortnie filed a petition seeking a restraining order against King. Court records show the case was dismissed on June 6 after the parties reached an agreement.
Under that agreement, as reported by Us Weekly, King and Kortnie are prohibited from coming near one another. The agreement also bars King from discussing Kortnie on social media, an increasingly common clause in high-profile domestic disputes that spill into public view.
In the months since, the custody situation has shifted under the temporary order granting Edmonds sole physical custody and limiting King to supervised visitation. The early December hearing is expected to determine whether the current arrangement remains in place or is modified.
What’s Next In The Custody Case
Custody decisions can evolve quickly as courts weigh fresh information, professional evaluations, and the best interests of the children. In this case, the timeline suggests the court will review findings from the CPS inquiry alongside any new filings from both parties.
For fans who followed King’s time on RHOC and her post-show life, the developments mark a serious turn in a co-parenting relationship that was once governed by joint custody. While neither King nor Edmonds has publicly addressed the temporary order in detail, the pending hearing will likely provide clarity on their long-term arrangement.
King previously appeared on The Real Housewives of Orange County from 2015 to 2017, and has remained a public figure on social media and in podcast appearances. Edmonds, a three-time MLB All-Star, has also been a fixture in the headlines due to the couple’s high-profile breakup and subsequent legal matters.
At present, the custody order remains temporary. With the court date set for early December, both sides will have an opportunity to present additional information before the judge determines the best path forward for Aspen, Hart, and Hayes.
