JIM Bob and Michelle Duggar have officially lost custody of their 15-year-old nephew Tyler after having him in their care since 2016.
Jim Bob, 58, and Michelle, 57, became their great nephew Tyler’s legal guardians in 2016, as his mother, Rachel Hutchins, who is Michelle’s sister Carolyn’s daughter, was unable to care for him.
The U.S. Sun previously reported the parents of 19 children agreed to give up guardianship of their great-nephew to his grandparents Carolyn and John in June.
The U.S. Sun can now exclusively reveal an Arkansas judge has made the custody change official.
Court papers filed on December 21 read: “The Court finds that it is in the best interest of the incapacitated persons Tyler Wayne Hutchins that the Petitioners, John Martin Hutchins and Carolyn Jeanette Hutchins be appointed permanent guardians of the person and of the estate of the incapacitated persons.
“The appointment of John Martin Hutchins and Carolyn Jeanette Hutchins as guardians of Tyler Wayne Hutchins is necessary to protect the minor and his estate.”
