Steve Burton Court War: General Hospital Star Slams Ex Over Daughter Custody

Actor Steve Burton filed new legal documents in his ongoing child custody dispute with his ex-wife, Sheree Gustin, concerning their minor daughter Brooklyn. The General Hospital star alleged that Gustin engaged in parental alienation and disparaged his new wife and stepdaughters in front of the child. According to court records obtained by media outlets, Burton claimed that Gustin told Brooklyn the actor's new family members are not considered relatives and accused Burton of attempting to brainwash the child. The filing states that these actions have caused the minor to delete messages and whisper during phone communications. Burton requested a court order prohibiting Gustin from interfering with his communication channels with Brooklyn. The legal conflict follows Burton's permanent return to California after signing a multi-year contract extension with the ABC soap opera.
