Meghan King and Jim Edmonds are currently at the center of a challenging situation as their three children find it difficult to comprehend the recent changes in their family dynamics. A source close to the family revealed exclusively to PEOPLE that amidst a Child Protective Services (CPS) investigation, King lost temporary custody of her daughter Aspen, 8, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, 7, after allegedly giving one of her sons Ritalin without a prescription.
Following the investigation, Edmonds, King’s ex-husband and former professional baseball player, was granted full physical custody of the children. The source mentioned that the kids are managing the situation well, although they have not fully grasped the implications of the events that have unfolded.

According to the source, Edmonds and his wife, Kortie, are taking things slow to ensure the children do not get overwhelmed. The source stated, “They’re doing good. They don’t really understand yet… They’re doing the best they can.” Despite the circumstances, King maintains a regular visitation schedule with her children, although she has not been able to see them as frequently as she would like.
King currently has supervised visitation with her children two days a week and every other weekend. However, out of the nine possible visits, she has only been able to see the children three times, as revealed by the source close to the family. The revised custody arrangement came about after King reportedly administered unprescribed Ritalin to one of her sons, prompting the intervention of CPS and subsequently resulting in the change in custody.
Reports suggest that King instructed a school nurse to provide the medication to her son without a prescription, which led to the involvement of CPS following a report from the school. Amidst the ongoing situation, King and Edmonds have not provided any comments in response to inquiries from PEOPLE.
Following the events that transpired in late October around Halloween, a temporary restraining order was filed against King by the children’s court-appointed advocate, resulting in her temporary loss of custody. Recently, King was granted supervised visitation rights, while Edmonds was given sole physical custody of their three children.
As the family navigates through this challenging period, it is evident that the well-being and understanding of the children remain a top priority. The support from both King and Edmonds, alongside their efforts to ensure stability and comfort for their children, is crucial during this time of transition and adjustment.
