AceShowbiz - General Hospital's Steve Burton is currently embroiled in a legal battle with his ex-wife, Sheree Burton, over custody of their daughter.

According to recent reports, Steve Burton has taken the step of returning to court amid ongoing disputes concerning their 11-year-old daughter, Brooklyn. Court documents obtained by TMZ reveal that the actor alleges Sheree has repeatedly failed to comply with the existing custody agreement.

Following their 2023 divorce, Steve was awarded joint legal and physical custody of Brooklyn. However, he claims that Sheree has not been cooperating with this arrangement. Specifically, Steve asserts that she has violated the custody terms by denying him his scheduled time with their daughter, particularly in July.

In the filed documents, Steve Burton describes Sheree's actions as a "pattern of unilateral decision making and deliberate obstruction," which has prevented him from spending the court-ordered amount of time with Brooklyn. One notable issue is Sheree's decision to enroll Brooklyn in a new six-week program in California, which conflicts with the custody schedule.

Steve is determined to challenge these actions and has requested that the court enforce the custody agreement strictly. He is also seeking sanctions against Sheree, including a $5,000 fine for her noncompliance.

The actor has expressed concern that their daughter is being caught in the middle of unnecessary conflict between the parents. He feels manipulated by Sheree and is pushing for the court to intervene to protect his parental rights and ensure the custody arrangement is respected.

Fans of General Hospital can anticipate Steve Burton's return to the role of Jason Morgan this summer, as he is scheduled to report back to the studio in June. While his character remains absent in Port Charles, the storylines involving characters like Danny Morgan, Britt Westbourne, and Carly Spencer continue to develop.

Until Steve resumes his role on-screen, viewers will continue to feel the impact of Jason’s absence, but the actor’s focus remains on resolving his real-life custody challenges. CDL will keep readers updated with the latest news and spoilers from General Hospital.
