LOS ANGELES — Kurt Cobain’s mother and sister are asking a Los Angeles judge to keep confidential all parts of a custody proceeding involving the late rocker’s 17-year-old daughter, including a restraining order against her mother, Courtney Love.
A Superior Court judge granted Cobain’s mother, Wendy O’Connor, and sister, Kimberly Dawn Cobain, temporary guardianship Dec. 11 of Frances Bean Cobain and her finances.
At the same time, Judge Reva Goetz issued a temporary restraining order barring Love “from certain behavior and from coming within a certain distance” of her daughter or her new guardians, according to court papers filed this week.
The filing by an attorney for the guardians urges the judge to seal the case to protect medical information about Frances contained in the documents as well as to keep private details of her apparently troubled relationship with her mother.
The case file is sealed pending a Jan. 22 hearing.
