“The Court does not believe that it is obligated to relinquish jurisdiction to Monaco, only that it acknowledge that it no longer has jurisdiction over the children,” Juhas wrote in the court papers.

Unfortunately, Juhas decided that the actress’ time in California is too infrequent for her case to continue in the state. “If these children have any connection to California, it is tenuous at best,” wrote Juhas in the decision.
