Little Boy Caught in Custody Case Crossfire

A little boy is caught in the middle of a nasty child custody battle in Memphis, Tennessee this month. The father, John Daly, was awarded full custody of the seven-year-old boy when a Tennessee circuit court judge ruled that the ex-wife had been in contempt of the court.

Judge Donna Fields said that Sherrie, Daly's fourth ex-wife, had violated his visitation rights along with other terms of the divorce, such as allowing their son to be absent from school frequently. She also prevented him from attending speech therapy classes that he needs.

In addition to granting full custody, Judge Fields sentenced the ex-wife to three days in jail as a result of being in contempt of court.

Daly was so thrilled about the results of the trial that he tweeted "the best Christmas gift a father can ask for & a great day in this 2 year journey for what is best for my son."
