Judge Orders Garvey to See Counselor in Custody Dispute With Former Wife
Steve Garvey has been ordered to undergo counseling by a family court in Los Angeles in a visitation dispute with his former wife, Cyndy, it was learned Friday.
The beleaguered Garvey has brought action against his former wife alleging that she was preventing him from contact with his daughters, Krisha, 14, and Whitney, 12.
Cyndy Garvey confirmed that Garvey twice met with family court mediators two weeks ago. The mediators advised Superior Court Judge Francis Rothchild that counseling would be in order.
Rothchild ordered Garvey to see a court-appointed psychiatrist for two months of counseling and said she would then review the matter of visitation with the children, Cyndy Garvey said.
Garvey’s lawyer, Dennis Wasser, said counseling involving the children had been ordered in the case, but declined to say to what extent the former first baseman would be involved.
Garvey, former Dodger and San Diego Padre, made headlines in February when two pregnant women claimed he was the father.
Garvey, 40, has said he will assume responsibility for the babies if he is proven to be the father.
