Kelly has been in bitter six-year long international custody battle with her ex-husband Daniel Giersch. According to the petition, Kelly's children "were forced by a California judge to live in France with their German father, (nobody is French) after he claimed his U.S. visa was revoked, and he could not enter the U.S." Recently, Daniel also filed papers seeking to strip Kelly of all her parental rights.
