Chuck Liddell seeks emergency custody of children from ex-wife

Ultimate Fighting Championship Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell has sought emergency custody of his teenage daughter, alleging that his ex-wife, Heidi Liddell, took the child from his home.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Liddell asked the Los Angeles County Superior Court this week to order the return of 14-year-old Guinevere and award him temporary sole physical custody of her and 13-year-old Charlie.

Liddell alleges that Heidi took Guinevere during his scheduled custodial time and has no intention of returning her. He further claims she moved the teenager to Orange County despite existing custody orders. Liddell said an earlier effort to obtain court approval to relocate both children to Newport Beach had failed.

The former UFC champion also accused his ex-wife of violating other custody arrangements, including failing to use their required co-parenting application, involving the children in parental disputes and missing scheduled extracurricular activities.

Liddell told the court he is concerned Guinevere could miss the beginning of her high school year and lose her place on a volleyball team, which he says could negatively affect her well-being. He also cited the potential impact on her younger brother, describing the siblings as particularly close.

Liddell is seeking monitored visitation for Heidi until a formal hearing and wants temporary sole physical custody of both children. He argued that such restrictions are necessary to prevent further interference with the custody arrangement.

Heidi, however, disputed the account. She told TMZ that Guinevere was not abducted and instead asked to be removed from her father’s home. Heidi accused Chuck of attempting to control her since their divorce and said the children are uncomfortable expressing themselves around him.
