Overview
- Sheree Burton filed for court permission to move her 12-year-old daughter to Tennessee and formally denied claims that she is alienating the child from her father.
- In her filing she says she has been Brooklyn’s primary caregiver and that the child has an iPad that lets her communicate freely with Steve by calls, texts and FaceTime.
- The couples’ current custody order gives Steve Burton limited in-person time with Brooklyn, described in filings as one weekend a month when school resumes.
- Sheree told the court that Steve previously moved to Tennessee in February 2026 without Brooklyn and has since made changing relocation and housing plans that she says lack stability.
- No judge has ruled on the relocation request and the record available to reporters consists of the parties’ court filings, which are allegations that the court will weigh against standard child‑best‑interest factors such as caregiver role and residential stability.
