That's so strange, Twinkie. My cousin had a baby while her husband was stationed in Germany. He has dual citizenship. He is maybe 16 years old now. Maybe it has to do with the particular country and/or dates of birth.

It is interesting how different cultures/countries determine things so differently. My preferred new source (Court TV) clarified early on that she's an American citizen, but b/c she was born in the Bahamas that she is a legal Bahamian resident, and that's why the Bahamian courts have had jurisdiction over all things Danielyn.

Twinkie, my boss's grandchild's situation might be a bit different because his wife is a native of Italy and he married her there. He divorced her and she didn't want the child and that's how my boss ended up with custody of his grandchild and brought him back to the US. (His son is out on a ship months at time.) So many different laws and different situations. Esp. after 9/11, and I am sure politics involving different countries. Right now, it seems to me that Danielynn is in "No Man's Land" until the courts decide the custody issue and say "No More".

some of our dearest friends are from England. their children were born here. the kids have dual citizenship. We tease the parents about using the kids to get their green card.

I"m very confused by that article. I thought that Anna Nicole was a legal resident of the Bahamas, by virtue of having owned a house? Otherwise, she could not have been buried there either. I'm not sure that question itself has been solidly answered; but since the Bahamian courts have assumed jurisdiction, they must be acting as if Danniellynn is their citizen.

Kar, she was a resident, but not a citizen of the Bahamas. Her residency was fast tracked so that Daniel could be buried there. That's where the Shane Gibson scandal started. There is still the court dates on the Horizon's house though, and that was used to get her residency. Ford Shelley went with her to apply, and the paperwork had her name on it as owner of the house....which, I think, was rather shady on Shelley and Thompsons part too. There also is the pink house that Anna bought, but it was put under a corporation name..supposedly. Anyway, with Howard, he is a visitor, and has to leave the island for 24 hours every 8 months. It is strange, but it's the law there.

I no longer can think of anything nice to say about Virgie Arthur: http://www.etonline.com/celebrities/news/47912/index.html Also, on Catherine Crier today, VA is in court asking for a written visitation, but outside of court, wants control to file a wrongful death suit and a say in the Marshall case. Nancy Haas, Larry's attorney, said that they will fight Virgie wherever she wants. Larry will not give her what she wants.

So Virgie actually wants a say in the Marshall case. Guess that answers all my questions. It's all about the money! Larry seems like a good enough guy that he will have the baby's best interest foremost. Why can't Virgie just be content to be a grandmother? Sounds like Larry would be reasonable and let VA visit the baby and be a grandmother...BUT after all of her legal demands, I wouldn't blame him if he let her have ONLY supervised visits. But Virgie has now put even that at risk. How very sad.

I was married to a Navy guy and we lived in Italy for 1.5 years and knew lots of other Navy families, some of whom had babies while they were there. They were born on the base so they were US citizens. Danielynn probably has dual citizenship since she was born to a US citizen in Bahama.

Well, As soon as Virgie chose O'Quinn to represent her I knew it was about the money. From what little I've heard of him, he's not the type of lawyer who takes cases that aren't about big big big bucks. I suspect that the potential price tag is the only thing that drew him to this case in the first place. So, I'm sad to say, I'm not in the least surprised that Virgie/O'Quinn are not satisfied w/ leaving well enough alone.

Whrlwnd, you are absolutely correct about O'Quinn. He is a self moderated.

Just heard on MSNBC that Virgie lost her appeal to stop Birkhead from taking the baby to USA. Virgie was also fined by the court for filing a frivolous action - 2 or 3 thousand dollar fine! How on earth will she be able to pay her attorneys?

Now, she'll probably take the battle to the US courts. I hope the Bahamas don't take checks for her 3,000 fine plus Larry's attorney fees for todays mess. lol I loved Larry's quote: This was an "expensive day for her," Larry tells ET. "I feel like I just got a divorce from her, and I didn't even know we had a baby together." http://www.etonline.com/celebrities/news/47912/index.html

I also liked Howard's comment....something along the lines of he was confused/perplexed by VA's latest action because it made it appear as though she wanted DL to continue living with him. lol

Virgie must be wanting that money that Dannielynn doesn't have yet really bad! I can see it now: Virgie is handed the check. She takes off running to the bank. Suddenly, voices are heard yelling "VIRGIE, YOU FORGOT THE BABY!" Virgie stops only briefly, turns around with a puzzled look and says "What baby?"

MSNBC is reporting this morning that Virgie and her legal "team" have a strategy for filing for custody in CA. It's not over.
