Perez Hilton Temporarily Hands Custody of His Kids to Grandmother During Recovery
Perez Hilton has voluntarily given temporary legal custody of his three children—Mario, 13; Mia, 11; and Mayte, 8—to his mother, Teresita Lavandeira, as he recovers after hospitalization. The filing grants Lavandeira broad authority over medical and educational decisions and access to the kids’ records, while Hilton concentrates on treatment; the arrangement is described as temporary, with Hilton able to petition to regain custody later under a reasonable transition plan. The family is also seeking to seal the records to shield the children from further public attention, and relatives had previously moved the children closer to family during Hilton’s medical crisis.
