Judge Considering Permanent Guardian

Nadya “Octomom” Suleman signed a contract in May with production company Eyeworks for her family to star in a reality show. Production on the show has begun, but Suleman’s 14 children are currently being kept off camera while work permit issues are considered.

Meanwhile, an Orange County judge is considering whether a permanent financial guardian should be appointed to oversee the children’s earnings from the show (reportedly $250,000 over the next three years) and ensure that they are not exploited.

On Monday, a California judge appointed a lawyer to temporarily oversee the estate of the octuplets.

Suleman's lawyer said a hearing on guardianship is scheduled for Aug. 31 and that Suleman has a motion to dismiss the guardianship order set to be heard on Aug. 20“The appointment of a guardian most assuredly will affect the ability of Nadya to contract with a production company.”

Unfortunately, Suleman's opening the door to permanent guardianship herself by things like a reality show.

Good grief.

I hope permanent guardianship doesn't happen, but it likely will.

Suleman probably thought she'd make lots of money with the octuplets, but in the end, the guardianship will make all the money. And the lawyers - especially if the guardianship lawyer is Terry Hammond!

She'll just be an employee.

It's a done deal, I'm sure. No "considering" to it.

A guardian is going to keep the children from being financially exploited. That's a good one.
