Frances Bean Cobain cites domestic violence in court papers
Court documents released in the case of Frances Bean Cobain and her mother, Courtney Love, cite “personal problems in the family” and domestic violence.
Cobain has taken out a temporary restraining order against her mother and sought to live with her paternal grandmother, Wendy O’Connor.
The court heard a motion to seal the documents in the ongoing case that took Cobain, 17, out of her mother’s custody. An aunt, Kimberly Dawn Cobain, has also been appointed temporary guardian. The Cobains are seeking to have the documents sealed. The papers state: “The merits of this motion cannot be fully argued here without disclosing the contents of the documents to be sealed.”
Love has had a wild and drug-ridden past but in recent years has strived to put her life back in order. In recent months, however, she was noted to have lost a lot of weight on a drastic diet and reported to be in dire financial straits. Love’s attorney said she has not had a drug relapse and the case “is simply about Frances preferring to live with her grandmother”.
