Fox host Bill O'Reilly loses custody of children amid abuse allegations Published time: 1 Mar, 2016
Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly lost custody of his teenage children over allegations of domestic abuse by his ex-wife.
The New York Appellate Division unanimously ruled that O'Reilly's 13- and 17-year-old children should live full time with their mother, Maureen McPhilmy, who was married to the conservative commentator for 15 years.
A 1,400 word opinion using anonymous names was issued by the court last week, but the media only figured out who it was this week.
The ruling states it was the "clearly stated preferences of the children" to live with McPhilmy, citing their "age and maturity" as well as "the home environment provided" by her.
This affirms the original ruling by Nassau County Supreme Court in May 2015, which O'Reilly had appealed to delay its enforcement, Gawker reported.
O'Reilly and McPhilmy will share legal custody in material matters concerning the children, such as schooling, medical care, and religious guidance.
Following the initial ruling last year, it emerged O'Reilly's 17-year-old daughter claimed she had witnessed O'Reilly "choking her mom" and that he had "dragged her down some stairs".
She has said she found O'Reilly's temper "scary" and also branded him an "adulterer" and an absentee father as he was "never around".

Guess Trump was right, O’Reilly probably should see a psychiatrist.
No wonder O’Reilly was a bit tense in his interview with Trump. He had his own issues in the background.

Even his kids don’t want anything to do with him! That says volumes, no doubt about it.
I suggest you repent and believe the Good News, amigo.
O’Reilly is a violent psycho. Been known for years. Have never understood his appeal.
Trump basically told BOR to piss off last night
Somebody needs to link to his “current affair” video where the damn leprechaun goes off on a tyrannical rant.
So should Trump.
I’ve always found Bill O’Reilly to be an arrogant self-promoter who I disliked but I’m sorry to hear about this. I hopes he gets his issues straightened out.
Yes, this must be what Trump meant by that remark.
Welcome to the No spin zone, We decide.
Trump is right, he should see Dr. Krauthammer right away.
What’s this all mean? Does the spin
stop somewhere else now?
Lol, so Trump was dropping a little inside joke on him? Nice.
Never mind...
By comparison .... Trump has stayed on excellent terms with the mothers of his kids & Trump’s kids love and respect their dad. Trump’s kids are one reason I think he has a lot of depth below the exterior shenanigans & one of the things I like the most about the man.
He should not have waited until he was 49 to marry.
