SILVERTON, Ore. – A mom from Silverton, Ore. is getting national attention for her unusual custody battle.
Tricia Conlon shares custody of her two boys, ages 13 and 14, with her ex-husband, Lt. Col. John P. Cushing Jr.
Before they wed, Cushing was married to a woman named Kristine. Twenty years ago, Kristine Cushing shot and killed the couple's two daughters in their sleep. She was later found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.
Now, John Cushing has reunited with Kristine and Conlon is terrified that her two boys are living in the same home with her.
Conlon has asked the court to change the custody agreement she shares with Cushing, Jr. But so far, her requests have been denied.
In court documents, the ex-husband said that his first wife’s sanity has been restored and she’s is enjoying life again.
“I’m not willing to risk my kids lives on speculation. When a person is capable, they're capable,” Conlon said, during an interview on NBC’s Today Show Tuesday.
The next court date was set for later this month.
