"We are extremelydisappointed," Kelly's attorney David J. Glass said in a statement."This court set up the current situation whereby my client was forced tolive bi-coastally, but now, the court appears to be holding it against her.Likewise, the court created the situation whereby the children would lose theirconnections to California, and despite the Judgment’s language precluding thepassage of time from creating new jurisdiction, that is exactly what hashappened."
