Sister Granted Permanent Guardianship Of 'Family's Ariel Winter
An agreement was reached Monday with the mother of Winter in a long-running guardianship dispute, just before a trial was set to begin on who would care for the 16-year-old actress. Winter's mother Chrisoula Workman agreed to drop her objections to the guardianship if her daughters would watch a video montage of family photos before court adjourned. Both Winter and Shanelle Gray began tearing up as the pictures were displayed on a projector. Winter then left court without speaking. She has been living with her older sibling since 2012, when a temporary guardianship was instated after she alleged that her mother was physically and emotionally abusing her. Winter's father will control her finances until she turns 18. Ariel Winter's sister, Shanelle Gray, has been granted permanent guardianship of her younger sibling.
