Ex gets custody of child of woman accused in girl's rape, killing

Johnny Huckaby and grandmother Judy Lawless of Cypress settled a custody fight over 5-year-old Madison Huckaby on Monday – the same day that a court hearing was scheduled on the matter in Orange County Superior Court in Orange. Lawless, Melissa Huckaby's mother, is allowed visitation of her grandmother.
As part of the agreement, Lawless is forbidden from allowing Madison to have contact with her mother, court records state.
In court papers, Lawless stated that the father had no contact with Madison for about four years, while Johnny Huckaby contended that he was denied access to his daughter. Johnny Huckaby was granted temporary custody of Madison in late April, when Madison moved to Arkansas, where he lives.
"(Johnny Huckaby) anticipates that (Melissa Huckaby) will likely never be released," wrote attorney Ann Thompson.
Court papers state that Lawless failed to show that it would be detrimental for Madison to stay with her father.
"Madison is doing exceptionally well in her father's custody," Thompson said.
Lawless was given the right to a week of visitation this summer and a month in future summers. During winter break, Lawless can see her granddaughter for a week after Christmas.
