The Sinister Plot of the Matusiewicz Family

David Matusiewicz was married to Christine Belford, having three daughters with her. Whey they divorced a huge saga would begin. From Nicaragua to bizarre websites and KZbin videos, ending violently in a court house, the Matusiewicz's would do anything to get custody.

[@nturavrgchick6055]

@@AC-ze1nh that's what I was going to say. I'm positive that's what Mike said, that it was a cold support hearing. She probably would've been better off to have moved away, changed her name, and just done without the child support. He likely would've lost all custody and visitation rights after the kidnapping.

[@misaspasic4295]

I think it was because of the abuse claims which were obviously false but I dont think they were sure back then.

[@AC-ze1nh]

Looked it up, it was a hearing about child support as David wanted it reduced. David had lost all parental rights at this point. He and his family were ordered to stay away from Christine and the three girls. What I find weird is that he was paying child support when he had lost parental rights, which seems odd, but nothing about this case was normal.

[@kelliehand1]
