A court order that granted actress Kelly Rutherford temporary custody of her children to allow her to bring them back to the US from Monaco has been halted.

A family law court in Los Angeles halted a ruling by another judge who expressed concerns that Rutherford's former husband violated terms of a 2013 custody order that allowed the children to live abroad.
