COURT DOCKET

Custody Battle: The mother of Lynn Anderson says the country singer’s two children would be best served by continuing to live with their father rather than suffer another disruption in their lives. Liz Anderson testified in the Circuit Court custody case in Nashville between Lynn Anderson and ex-husband Harold Stream III that she would not oppose giving primary custody to the father so long as her daughter can keep substantial visitation rights. Previously, the singer’s parents, who live in California, had offered to care for the children as a neutral solution in the custody dispute. “We just wanted to end all of this war,” Liz Anderson said. “It’s affecting the children badly.” Melissa Stream, 9, and Gray Stream, 11, have lived with their father in Lake Placid, N.Y., since last April when Stream obtained an emergency court order granting him temporary custody. A clinical psychologist who has treated the children in Lake Placid testified that they appear to have been neglected by their mother and have returned from recent visits with their mother “emotionally battered.”
