Kelly Rutherford Ordered to Return Kids to Monaco
Kelly Rutherford just lost big in court, and her kids are now on their way to the airport to return to Monaco.
A judge just enforced a court order giving Daniel the right to keep the 2 children in Monaco, while he works out his residency issues with the U.S.
Kelly had refused to return the children after having them for 2 months this summer, arguing the U.S. courts had no authority to order their return. But today a judge disagreed.
We're told Daniel Giersch's mom took the 2 children from the NYC courthouse and they are on their way to the airport to return to Monaco.
There's a hearing on Sept. 3rd in Monaco regarding custody.

Kelly Rutherford Shows Up for Court ... Without the Kids
8:58 AM PT -- The couple's kids have arrived at court.
Kelly Rutherford defiantly showed up for the court hearing where she's supposed to surrender her children to her ex-husband -- but she did NOT bring the kids.
TMZ broke the story ... Kelly was ordered to appear before a NY judge because Daniel Giersch is demanding Kelly return their two kids to him in Monaco. Kelly's visitation period ended last week, but she's refusing to send them back to Daniel.
He insists Kelly's basically a child abductor now. The judge specified Kelly needed to bring them to court today, but it looks like she's not willing to give in ... not yet.
Giersch is not in court, but his mother is there ... hoping, we guess, to take custody of her grandchildren.

Kelly Rutherford Ordered to Court ... with Kids
Kelly Rutherford has a problem after declaring she will NOT surrender her kids to her ex-husband ... a court has now ordered her to appear Tuesday ... with the children.
TMZ has learned, a New York judge just made the order at the behest of ex-hubby Daniel Giersch, who claims Kelly is a child abductor who has no right to keep the kids beyond the visitation period which ended last week.
Kelly says she's been to court in L.A. and New York and the judges in both states have said they have no jurisdiction over the case, therefore no one can order her to return the kids.
Giersch begs to differ, claiming he has a custody order that's legally binding on her, so she's now nothing more than a criminal.
The judge has said Kelly needs to be notified by 3 PM today about tomorrow's hearing, but service can be accomplished by email or a secured message to Facebook.

Chris Brown Fighting Back Against Bad Parenting Claims ... I'm a Good Father!
Chris Brown believes he's an exceptional father to his daughter Royalty and plans to fight his baby mama's attempt to limit his custody to just supervised visits.
According to our sources, Brown plans to file an opposition to Nia Guzman's request for full custody ... countering her claims that he's a bad father. Guzman has cited several issues with Chris' parenting and lifestyle, but we're told he has a comeback for each one.
First off, we're told Chris will argue he never puts his daughter in harm's way and has increased security at his home since the recent break-in.
Secondly, our sources says Chris will say he has never done drugs around Royalty.
Lastly, we're told Chris will argue he has never allowed "gang bangers" to be around his daughter.
Chris has filed his own docs to establish paternity so he can fight for joint custody, but so far a judge has not ruled.
Chris Brown's Baby Mama I Don't Trust Him Alone With Royalty
Chris Brown's baby mama fears for the safety of their daughter when she's alone with him ... so she's asking a judge to ONLY allow him to see 1-year-old Royalty when someone else is around.
We're told Nia Guzman just filed the legal docs for supervised visitation. Chris has filed his own docs to establish paternity so he can fight for joint custody, but so far the judge has not ruled.
We're told Guzman wants full custody because she thinks Chris is simply too irresponsible to care for a kid on his own and she believes he and his friends all have substance abuse issues. He thinks it's all just a ploy to get more child support.
So much for working things out without a court order.
