“Leah only gets the girls on the weekends now,” a family insider adds.
Corey first fought for custody in 2014 after reports surfaced that Leah was abusing prescription pills (a judge ruled in her favor after a negative drug test). “Leah’s really been screwing up since then, so Corey took her back to court. The judge looked at the girls’ school records, which show that they’ve been late for school, and made the change in custody.”
