Carol Burnett convinced a judge to sign off on hiring Britney Spears’ co-conservator to manage her grandson’s life due to his mother’s drug issues, while the mother appears to be making moves to regain custody.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has granted a motion to bring on Jodi Pais Montgomery as temporary guardian of Dylan Hamilton-West.
Dylan’s mother is Carol’s daughter Erin Hamilton. In docs, it was revealed she has been in-and-out of rehab over the years and struggles with severe addiction problems.
“In the past 19 years, Erin has been in and out of rehabilitation centers and has been institutionalized a total of eight times for a minimum of 30 days each time,” she said.
Last year, Erin was placed on a 51/50 hold by authorities and had to be hospitalized in Los Angeles. Carol explained Dylan's father was also unable to care for her grandson due to his own personal demons.
Around the same time, Carol went to court asking to become the temporary guardian of Dylan, along with her husband Brian Miller. The judge signed off on the request and the guardianship was set to expire this year.
