In a bitter child custody battle,
Alaina Giordano's terminal breast cancer has been a strike against her
in court. A North Carolina judge denied Giordano primary custody of her
two children in part because "the course of her disease is unknown" and
"children who have a parent with cancer need more contact with the
non-ill parent."
Giordano's unemployment was also cited as a factor in the April 25th
District Court ruling that her two children must move from their home in
Durham, N.C., to live primarily with their father, Kane Snyder in Chicago as of June 17.
