Kelly Rutherford's Lawyer Details Her Next Move in Custody Battle: 'We Have Several Appeals Pending'
Kelly Rutherford has told People she'll never stop fighting for her children, and now, her attorney is explaining their next step in the Gossip Girl star's crusade to move them back to America.
"We have several appeals pending," Wendy Murphy, who represents Rutherford pro bono, tells People in a statement.
The Gossip Girl has spent the better part of six years saying goodbye to son Hermes, 8, and daughter Helena, 6. Though the exes have joint custody, the children primarily reside in Monaco with their father, German businessman Daniel Giersch, and boarded a return flight to the European principality two weeks ago...

A federal judge has rejected Kelly Rutherford's last-minute attempt to get her children back after a state court ordered last week that they return to their father in Monaco.
Court records show that Rutherford, 46, filed an emergency writ in federal court Aug. 11 in an attempt to get her son Hermes, 8, and daughter Helena, 6, back – just a few hours after a New York Supreme Court judge sent them to live with her ex-husband Daniel Giersch in Monaco.
The judge denied Rutherford's petition and tossed the suit that same day on the grounds that the case was a state matter, court records show.

ABC Latest News | Latest News Videos Kelly Rutherford says she believes her children's voices "have not been heard" after a New York judge sent them back to Monaco this week.
"I walked into a courtroom where everything felt like it was already done. It was a done deal," Rutherford told Good Morning America's Robin Roberts on Friday morning. "His mother was sitting there with plane tickets, smiling, ready to take them."

Kelly Rutherford didn't get the answer she wanted when Judge Ellen Gesmer ordered her children back to Monaco, and now she and her lawyer, Wendy Murphy, are out for an explanation. In a statement from Rutherford and Murphy obtained by E! News Wednesday, the legal duo explain how Gesmer purportedly "violated" her children's rights as American citizens. "Judge Ellen Gesmer effectively arrested my children, claiming she had authority under habeas corpus to take them into custody because of a foreign country's court order. But the law is clear that a New York judge cannot enforce any order from a foreign country unless and until the foreign order is 'registered' in the United States," the...

A day after she kissed her children goodbye in a New York courtroom, Kelly Rutherford is slamming the judge who ordered that they return to Monaco to be with their father.
""What the judge did yesterday was shocking, illegal and abusive to my children," she tells People in a statement. "Without any legal authority, a judge from the lowest ranking court in the state court system violated the highest ranking deferral constitutional rights of my American citizen children."

What's Next for Kelly Rutherford: Is She One Step Closer to Losing Custody of Her Kids All Together?
It may have come purely from the heart, but did Kelly Rutherford make the ultimate miscalculation? The former Gossip Girl star last week defied a court order and refused to fly back to Monaco with her young children, who have been primarily living with their dad, Daniel Giersch, in Europe since 2012. "Mr. Giersch can come to America on his German passport and visit the children here, just as Kelly has traveled back and forth to Europe on her U.S. passport to visit the children there for the past three years," Rutherford's attorney, Wendy Murphy, said in a statement. "Kelly and the children have been very patient with Mr. Giersch. He should do the right thing, honor his agreement, and protect the...

Kelly Rutherford's ex-husband Daniel Giersch is calling her decision not to fly their two kids back to Monaco "child abduction."
"Daniel will continue to protect the children from any harm and any media exposure. Unfortunately Kelly has now added child abduction to extortion and false statements on her list of actions. Daniel will make sure that the children's safety and well being will be restored as soon as possible," the German businessman's attorney Fahi Takesh Hallin says in a statement.

Kelly Rutherford continues to hit road bumps in the ongoing custody battle for her children, Helena and Hermes, but her New York lawyer, Wendy Murphy, remains optimistic. After a California judge awarded her ex-husband, Daniel Giersch, a victory, ruling that it has no jurisdiction over the case, it seemed like things were on the up and up because, as it turns out, Rutherford didn't want to fight the case in California. Although her California attorney, David Glass, was disappointed, Murphy was satisfied. "Exactly what we wanted to happen has happened," she told E! News in a statement. "We filed in New York to provoke California to issue a ruling and the judge reacted as we had hoped. Now...

Kelly Rutherford has hit another roadblock in her fight to reunite her family in America: Her two children will not travel to the United States for a planned custody hearing next week.
During a prearranged phone call Thursday, California and Monaco judges decided against sending the Gossip Girl star's kids with ex-husband Daniel Giersch to Los Angeles for a court hearing Monday, multiple sources tell People. The L.A. judge is not certain he has jurisdiction over the case and postponed the court date until July 9, but sources say Giersch already has a hearing in Monaco on June 22 – when he could file for full custody.

It's a battle the former Gossip Girl actress and her ex-husband, German businessman Daniel Giersch, have been fighting since before their daughter was even born – and one that Rutherford insists she never sought to wage in the first place.

Following Tuesday night's presidential town hall debate, Bill O'Reilly noticed that many women were not happy with Romney's now-infamous comment about being presented with "binders full of women" when he was the governor of Massachusetts. Wendy Murphy, who was part of Romney's involvement with the MassGAP project years back, said Romney did not wait for women's groups to send him documentation, he actively sent out his lieutenant governor to meetings with these groups.
