SAMBORA SEEKS JOINT "LEGAL" AND "PHYSICAL" CUSTODY
Richie Sambora is pursuing his his parental rights to the fullest extent allowed by law. The Bon Jovi guitarist responded to the divorce petition of his estranged wife Heather Locklear's and requested joint physical and legal custody of the couple's eight-year-old daughter, Ava. Our prediction is that Sambora will obtain the arrangement he is seeking if for no other reason that he has the wherewithal to wage a legal battle. But, should custody determinations be made on the basis of who has the most assets? Unfortunately, it often seems that fathers who can afford to wage family court war receive custody equity whereas those with more modest means are less likely to be awarded joint custody.
