8:03 pm
why? of course. it was daddy's two days of visitation. he turned it all into a big drunk, leaving the tots alone to fend for themselves, locked in daddy's pontiac grand prix while he partied 48 straight. >> on thursday the father had apparently picked up his two boys for a scheduled visitation, but by sunday morning he was in jail. >> 28-year-old richard labo of hillsdale county now facing a possibility of four years behind bars. he's charged with second-degree child abuse. >> i was devastated. i was shocked. >> his two boys, ages 4 and 6, told deputies they were in the car for several days and that the grown-ups were driving around partying, neglecting to feed them the whole time. >> i don't know how they could do that. >> do you understand the charges, mr. labo? >> yes, i do, your honor. >> arrested sunday, it was this
8:04 pm
911 call that ultimately led deputies to the car. >> they look probably about 3 and 4. they're really young. >> okay. >> i think one might have been sleeping, and the other one started to open the door when i came out. >> the children said they were in the vehicle for a couple days with dad and uncle and that they were driving around partying, as they put it. >> labo and his brother were eventually located drinking at the bar inside the bowling alley. the children were surrounded by empty beer cans, locked in the car. the children's grandmother is appalled. >> they should have been home in their warm little jammies and in their bed. instead of driving around with their dad who was doing god only knows what with my grandchildren in the back seat. good evening. i'm nancy grace. i want to thank you for being with us. bombshell tonight. "jon & kate plus 8." with the ink barely dry on their divorce papers, the morning after kate gosselin survives another round of cuts on
8:05 pm
"dancing with the stars" last night, jon gosselin marches into court, files legal papers demanding primary custody of the eight children, insisting he shouldn't pay child support to her. oh, no. he says she should pay him. >> the girl with eight kids who had this reality show, everybody knows who she is -- >> kate gosselin may be out dancing with the stars -- >> let's bring them on. >> but jon gosselin just filed a lawsuit -- >> that's part of my life. >> gosselin says he wants primary custody of their eight kids. the former reality tv star also asking the court to take another look at the child support agreement. >> that was real frustration, let me tell you. >> jon says the support payments were set without kate gosselin providing proof of her expenses relating to the kids. this as radaronline.com reporting jon is going broke. >> please, people, stop interfering in our lives. they love the camera crew. >> this is a really frustrating situation for me.
8:06 pm
>> kate and i both love our kids. >> i'm going to nail this. >> that's the way it is. >> just how will this impact custody of the eight children who are hanging in the balance? >> everything for the kids. we've always been there for them. >> i was like, yeah. >> that's how we work together. >> i miss them. one day this week during practice i had a little meltdown while we were dancing, and i heard them upstairs, and i just like started crying. and i was like, i just miss my kids. >> you just saw kate gosselin on abc's "good morning america." straight out to marc malkin with e! online columnist. marc, thank you for being with us. marc, she survives another round of cuts. and i don't care what anybody says. that show, "dancing with the stars," is grueling. it is like boot camp getting ready for that thing. so she survives another round last night. it's a big, triumphant victory for her. and he goes into court this
8:07 pm
morning and demands what? >> he is asking for -- he gives right now something like $20,000 a month to kate. now he wants kate to be paying him and he wants primary custody of the kids. he says she's an absentee mom. >> she's an absentee mom. joining us tonight, everyone, is a very special guest, very well-known attorney anthony f. list. he is the attorney for jon gosselin, joining us out of philadelphia. mr. list, thank you for being with us. mr. list, where is your client, jon gosselin, living right now? >> he's living somewhere in maryland. i have the address, but i don't think it would be advisable to give it out. >> sir, mr. list, you are so right. it's my understanding he is bunking on his brother's sofa in maryland? >> well, i just answered the question, nancy. i'm not going to give you any more information -- >> i don't want the address. i promise you.
8:08 pm
i don't need to know the address where he is. so how is it that he is going to take care of all of the children off of his brother's sofa and wants her to pay him? i mean, mr. list, you're a very well-known attorney. you've got an excellent reputation. certainly you see that it looks like she's gotten a job, he doesn't. he hasn't had a job since he did the "jon & kate plus 8." so now he wants her to support him with child support. that's what it looks like. >> nancy, you're a very smart lady and a very good attorney yourself, and you know that. that's not what he asked for. read the pleadings that were filed today in court. they were very specific. he is asking the court to review the question of child support. he is asking the court to review the issue of custody. do you realize that today the way the order stands kate gosselin has sole discretion to determine whether or not jon is able to see the eight children? do you know of any other custody agreement that provides for such
8:09 pm
a -- a lopsided arrangement? as far as -- >> well, that's a very good point, anthony. that's an excellent point. and it brings to mind the question why a court, a judge, or an arbitrator would have awarded that to her. what was it about jon gosselin that made a court or an arbitrator agree that she should dole out custody -- visitation as she sees fit? >> well, i think the fact that when jon gosselin walked into that very hearing that was to decide these very important issues he did so with a new york attorney who had been representing him and he was told that moment that he was not allowed to have the new york attorney represent him at that hearing. the lawyer from new york was told he could not participate, he could not question any witnesses, he could not offer any evidence. so jon stood naked in the eyes of the law while kate was, as they say, lawyered up -- >> well, did he ever think of
8:10 pm
getting a continuance in order to get a lawyer that could practice in that jurisdiction? >> you or i would have done that in a second. but that wasn't done. it was never requested. jon's not a lawyer -- >> okay. i understand. i understand that the line is it was the lawyer's fault. okay. i understand that. we are taking your calls live. out to kelly czink at celebtv.com. what about the timing of this, kelly czink? she hits it big on "dancing with the stars." millions of people watch it. it's fantastic. it's exciting. it's beautiful outfits. there she is. the whole broadway makeup. it's very glitzy and glamorous. and she survives the round. the next morning -- >> and then -- >> -- they file this. >> of course. because jon wants the attention back. jon wants to be off the "f" list and he wants to go back in the spotlight. you know, he just got dumped by one of his girlfriends, so he wants the attention back. just like last time the show gets canceled, jon runs right to the paparazzi again. this guy just wants attention. i'm afraid for these children.
8:11 pm
i mean, people are always saying whose side are you on, kate or jon? you're on the children's side. sure, kate's getting all the attention, but jon has to be a dad first. >> hold on. let's back it up, kelly czink. everybody, that's video from abc's "dancing with the stars." kelly, forget the attention. who's bringing home the money? who is supporting the children? >> exactly. >> look, my mom worked long, hard hours, as did my father, and i can't imagine somebody suggesting that because she worked that she should lose custody. >> you're absolutely right, nancy. i mean, kate's -- her life is lived out in the public, but she's still a working mom. there's plenty of moms that work just as hard as she does. she's making a ton of money from this. her book. jon, unemployed. >> i have eight kids to raise essentially, you know, by myself. and the fact is i've got to do what counts. and i could go back to work as a nurse, but i wouldn't see my
8:12 pm
kids any more than i do now. and so i do feel like it's unfair. you may have tried supplement pills to combat joint discomfort but is there a faster way to find relief? try elations. this delicious, once-a-day joint supplement drink is clinically proven to improve joint comfort in as little as six days. elations contains effective levels of glucosamine and chondroitin and it's more absorbable than supplement pills. in fact, some reported improved flexibility in as little as three days. improve your joint comfort with a fast alternative. try elations today. brand power. helping you buy better.

[ femalennou introducing crest 3d whi threleew tthpaste at removes [ mafoa noticeably whiter e inust tws. new crest white toothpaste. you're headed back to court with kate to discuss some custody issues. any truth to that? >> just another piece of baggage. have your little meltdowns at home times. >> we have noticed you spend a lot of quality times with the kids in the last couple days, which is good for you and them. so is this a bid to try to do a little bit more of that in the future? >> that was real frustration. let me tell you.
8:16 pm
>> it's ridiculous. i'm just fed up of people saying that we're doing things to our kids. our number one priority for kate and i is our kids. >> i can honestly say that there is so much on my plate right now that i absolutely cannot react that way to every little thing that comes by. and nobody goes into a marriage or has kids, you know, planning a divorce. it's not what i consider success, really. i'm not a quitter. so this is difficult to me because this feels like something that, you know, possibly was not in my plans. but they're doing very well, considering. they're great kids. >> kate and i both love our kids. we've always agreed upon anything for the kids. >> we are taking your calls live. to nikki in wisconsin. hi, nikki. >> caller: hi, nancy. thank you for taking my call. >> hi, love, what's your question? thank you. >> caller: i saw earlier tonight
8:17 pm
on another hln show where kate was contributing a lot of the ratings on "dancing with the stars" show to her. and i was just wondering, when are the two of them ever going to get a divorce? >> oh, hold on. correct me if i'm wrong, clark goldband, but isn't the divorce final? >> yes, nancy. that first started back in june of '09. it was finalized on december 18th of last year. >> you know, i guess we've been hearing about it for so long, clark goldband, it feels like it's just ongoing. with me tonight is a very special guest. he's got an excellent reputation in the philadelphia jurisdiction and beyond. and he is the new attorney for jon gosselin, of formerly "jon & kate plus 8." anthony f. list. out of philadelphia. so mr. list, why doesn't your client have a job? and is he still paying $5,000 a month for that new york apartment? >> i don't know what he's paying for the new york apartment, if anything, but i know why he doesn't have a job.
8:18 pm
because he's bound by an agreement that was presented to him by tlc prohibiting him from engaging in any gainful employment. that same agreement also addressed kate's employment status and i think awarded her over $100,000 a month in income, and jon got $5,000. i mean, where's the fairness in that? i think it's wonderful that she can come on with these canned statements as to how she didn't want this to happen and that she -- you know, feels sorry various people involved. the important thing is -- and nancy, you're a mother of twin children, 2 years old, as i recall. these children have never been seen by a professional. and you know that there's ways that that can be done. to see how they're reacting to all of this. >> mr. list, i find it very hard to believe that he's under contract where he cannot work at all.
8:19 pm
maybe he's under contract that says he cannot be in show business to compete with the former "jon & kate plus 8," which as i recall, he filed papers to stop kate from continuing filming that. and he is in a noncompete clause. but i find it very hard to believe that he can't go out and get a job as, for instance, a computer specialist. that's what his profession was before, wasn't it? >> nancy, i agree with you. i think it is hard to believe. i think a lot of things that have happened in this case are hard to believe. i think jon was at the mercy of a number of high-powered attorneys. he did not have counsel himself. there were -- >> okay. wait a minute. mr. list. >> yes. >> he has been out at every bar between his home and maryland with every girl 20 and -- 30 and under that he could get his hands on, partying, drinking, blowing money on expensive cars,
8:20 pm
$90 bottles of champagne. i find it very -- i mean, look. how can you say with a straight face he can't work when he's blowing money left and right on one ed hardy t-shirt is what, $200, $300? come on, give me a break, mr. list. >> why don't you give me a break and give me the evidence you have that he is out at bars in the evening and $90 champagne and doing all these treacherous things you talk about? breathe right asks...

another elimination on "dancing with the stars." she reportedly earns $200,000, trying to provide for her eight kids. >> i can do even better if i have the opportunity. >> jon, it's being reported in the media that you're headed back to court with kate to discuss some custody issues. any truth to that? call the lawyer? we have noticed you spend a lot of quality time with the kids over the last couple days, which is good, i'm sure for you and them. so is this a bid to try to do a little bit more of that in the future? >> yeah, that was true honor -- i mean, frustration and anger. through this dance i wanted to show them that this is a really frustrating situation for me, to be hounded by paparazzi even when i don't want them to be there. i mean, i go to the grocery store and target and the post office. really, how much fun is that? and the -- >> and the stories they make up. >> and the stories that they
8:32 pm
make up as a result of that. so for us this song, in fact, when it came out, like i don't know how many people texted me and they were like, this is your -- >> that was kate gosselin talking to radaronline.com. we are taking your calls. out to serena in michigan. hi, serena. >> caller: hi, nancy, i just want to tell you how much i love your show and how much of a role model you are to every mother out there. you're wonderful. >> you know what? i really appreciate that. i don't feel that way. but i'm grateful to you saying that. thank you. what's your question, love? >> caller: yes, nancy, i just had a comment and a question. >> okay. >> caller: i just want to say, you know, i understand being the single parent that i am, it is important to work and to make an income. so i don't fault her for that. but i do think that jon loves his kids, but i also feel that he's been very irresponsible in his choices in the past and i think this is a publicity stunt on his behalf at the expense of his children. my question, though, to the attorneys would be how is it that if he doesn't have a job
8:33 pm
that he can afford $20,000 a month? >> you know, that's an excellent question. and i'm going to throw that to anthony f. list, his attorney. how is he paying child support of $20,000 a month? >> the way he has been paying is that there were certain monies set aside in the overall equitable distribution award that was escrowed to take care of his child support obligation. so although he's not earning enough to justify that amount, he is paying it through that escrowed moneys. and he is -- >> got it. >> and he is current on it, nancy, as far as i know. >> well, you know what? i'm glad to hear that, mr. list, because the last thing he needs to add to his resume is deadbeat dad. you've got to give him credit. he is paying his child support. but you know, back to what the caller said, serena in michigan, i'm going to throw this to caryn stark, psychologist. she says she believes jon gosselin does love the children. i don't know who could look at those children and not love them. but caryn, why live in maryland or a bachelor pad in new york
8:34 pm
city when your children are in an entirely different state? if you love them so much, why not be near them? >> in addition to what you're saying, nancy, why would you do something like this and put the kids in the middle? which is the class that now he's required to attend. when you start calling attention and going for custody, the children get involved. and the best thing that you could do for children in divorce is to get along, be amicable. he hasn't been around. he's made sure to court photographers. so we see him everywhere. and all of a sudden she's getting attention and he's back again. >> so back to you, mr. list, anthony f. list, attorney for jon gosselin. where would he -- if he had primary custody of the children, where would they live? >> he would -- you know, he's looking at homes now that would be good homes for them. he intends to remain in the redding, pennsylvania, area. it's been his home all of his life. and his father's home before that. you know, nancy, you -- you've
8:35 pm
raised a number of interesting issues, and i think that this matter as a result of your show tonight, frankly, can bring this case to a quick conclusion, but a fair conclusion. why not, now that a court has jurisdiction -- and with all due respect to raoul, who mentioned the judge, there was no judge that ever decided any issue. it was an arbitrator. and -- >> but that is an arbitrator that your client agreed to. >> he didn't know this arbitrator from santa claus. he -- >> but you have to agree to the arbitrator you use, isn't that correct, raoul? >> absolutely. and you know, we're praising him for child support. apparently, what happened is they didn't trust him to pay child support, so they insisted part of the equitable distribution be placed in escrow. so it's being paid out of that -- >> raoul, you know what? that's why you are the expert divorce attorney. i'm just an old hack trial attorney of criminal law. you're right. and the thing about arbitration, you agree to the arbitration methods, the location. arbitration means you are
8:36 pm
reaching an agreement. weigh in, alan ripka. >> i think it's pretty harsh that anybody would award kate 100% authority when and if jon can see his eight children anytime. he certainly wasn't a criminal. he certainly wasn't a drug addict or did anything so bad that he'd be prevented from fathering his eight children, nancy. >> kessler? >> i rest my case on that. >> here's the problem with this. the problem is it's the sour-grapes theory. in other words, they're not saying something has changed, so let's change the situation. they're saying four months after the divorce was finalized let's go back and revisit what the divorce did. to do that you appeal. i don't like to second-guess lawyers. i'm not involved in this case, mr. list. but usually, you go back to court when there's a new set of circumstances. what he's saying is they didn't do right the first time, let's try it again. you know, you have to stop the litigation and wait until something new happens in most cases. >> to brian -- >> if he had the benefit -- excuse me. if he had had the benefit of legal counsel who had told him that, you know, raoul, you're assuming that he's going to become an expert on the rules of
8:37 pm
arbitration -- >> he did have a lawyer, anthony. >> i know he did. >> he had a lawyer. >> who never said a word to him, who was shut down by the arbitrator. >> but he didn't appeal it. >> you know what, mr. list, you're blaming everybody but your client. so far you've blamed the arbitrator. you've blamed kate. your client has blamed tlc. you're blaming his lawyer. everybody but him. that's very difficult to believe, that everybody was at fault except him. >> i have direct evidence that supports everything i'm saying tonight. i have a copy of the transcript of the arbitration proceeding. i'd be happy to provide it to you to take a look at. >> you know what? >> you'll be astonished. >> i'll take you up on that. i would love to see the record of that arbitration. >> you'll be astonished, and neither you nor raoul would have ever stood for a proceeding like that. >> well, what about appeals? he didn't appeal it. >> he did not have a lawyer after that. >> well, he certainly could have hired a lawyer at that point. >> he should have probably -- >> he waited four months -- >> he should have called you.
8:38 pm
i doubt that he could have afforded you -- >> okay. hold on. hold on. hold on. to brian reich, detective bergen county prosecutor's office. brian reich, earlier mr. list, anthony f. list out of philadelphia, attorney for gosselin, said that the photos that we are showing are not evidence. but isn't it true, mr. reich, that in court photos, unless they can be disproved as being tampered with or irrelevant, do come into evidence as admissible evidence? >> absolutely. both the criminal and civil use. especially in criminal use. we commonly use photographs. i mean, the only thing they would do is probably try to verify the veracity, the legitimacy of those photographs, maybe get a certified forensic examiner to show that none of the bits or bytes have been changed and make sure that those photos have not been photoshopped. but once that could be proven, that they're legit photos, they can certainly be entered into evidence. >> back to marc malkin, "e!" online columnist.
8:39 pm
marc, is jon gosselin saying that "dancing with the stars" is actually damaging the children? >> yeah. i mean, he's sort of claiming that because kate is training for the show, competing in the show, that she can't be there for her kids. from what i am told, i'm told that any minute that she's not with her kids, that she is rehearsing or she's doing the show here in l.a., she's on the phone with those kids. listen, say what you will. i do not think she's an absentee mom. this happens all the time. people commute to work across the country all the time. >> to kelly czink. apparently, jon gosselin reportedly not only wants primary custody but he wants spousal support. >> he wants -- >> alimony. >> yeah. he wants money from her. you know, she's going on this book tour. she's got a bunch of things in the works. and he wants a piece of that. maybe to take his girlfriends on more dates. who knows? but he wants a piece. >> how do you -- how do you afford eight kids? i mean, that's what we do. >> the most challenging is caring for eight children while dancing with the stars.

he's not working. she is. call her an absentee mother. but i guarantee the money that she makes will go to supporting those -- i mean, somebody has got to pay for their children. there's eight children to support, to feed, to clothe, to plan where they're going to go to school. what are they going to wear to school? their school supplies, their doctor's visits. you name it. it's on her to pay for all that. and mr. list, this is jon gosselin's attorney out of philadelphia. anthony list. is he able -- he's paying $20,000 a month, right? so he's -- >> $21,000 to be exact, yes. >> so he is supporting their livelihood, the children's livelihood. >> yes, he is. i mean, that money's going to run out eventually, but he is supporting the children. >> got it. okay. out to donna in california. hi, donna. >> caller: hi. i don't know if it would be too late for them to simplify, but it seems to me that nobody ever mentions kate used to be a registered nurse, and i think they both need to go back to their original professions. a lot of people raise eight kids
8:47 pm
on a normal income. you don't get the bells and whistles. but registered nurses make pretty good money. >> and registered nurses work nightshifts, long hours, probably similar to the hours that she's working right now. i've got a question. following up on donna in california's accurate observation, back to you, marc malkin, how often is she away from the children, and who takes care of them when she's gone? >> i mean, of course she has, you know, a nanny helping out. but she's home most of the time. what she's doing is she's flying back and forth. so she's going back to pennsylvania and actually rehearsing for "dancing with the stars" in her basement. you know, this has been done time and time again on this show. then she flies back to l.a. she performs. then they have, you know, the elimination show. and then she may come back or not come back. >> i pass on this bit of advice
