Alaina Giordano Update: An Appeal Has Been Filed
Alaina Giordano and her kids
All hope has not been lost.
If you’ve been following the story of Alaina Giordano — she’s the mom in North Carolina battling Stage 4 breast cancer who lost custody of her kids because the judge in the case said there was no telling when she was going to die, despite her condition being stable — then you’ll probably be pleased to know there’s new movement in the case, and a renewed hope.
Yesterday her attorneys filed a formal appeal in the General Court of Justice, District Court Division in Durham County. The hope is that the ruling by Judge Nancy Gordon will be overturned and Alaina will get custody of her kids instead of her ex, who left the family on more than one occasion — and once never let them know where he was.
Alaina posted this on her Facebook page last on Tuesday night:
This is Alaina. Today WE are celebrating the wonderful news that a Fantastic Team of Attorneys have read the order and have determined that a Great INJUSTICE has been done. I could never have done this alone! Thank you on behalf of myself, my children, and ALL those who have suffered INJUSTICE. WE will KEEP FIGHTING for what is RIGHT and JUST!
WE ARE DOING THIS THING!!! xoxo A
The filing on Tuesday was the first step in reversing the custody order, and it couldn’t come soon enough. June 17th is the date set for the kids’ dad, Kane Snyder, to move the kids to his new home in Chicago.
Alaina had previously been struggling to match the resources of her ex, including his bank account. Thanks to publicity surrounding her plight, a team of attorneys stepped in to help her win back her children.

Jean commented on Jun 05 11 at 8:11 amAfter reading the Judge’s ruling on this case, it appears to be a very complex child custody dispute. I think it’s important to look at both sides of this issue. Here is the url address to Judge Gordon’s 27 page child custody ruling.
