Baldwin-Basinger Evalution Going Forward
Alec Baldwin has his marching orders.
A Los Angeles court has appointed the psychological evaluator who will meet with the 48-year-old actor before he is allowed extra visitation privileges with his 10-year-old daughter Ireland.
Baldwin has been embroiled in an increasingly nasty custody battle with ex-wife Kim Basinger, with the two exchanging mental slings and arrows last year over each other's fitness as a parent. When Baldwin asked that Basinger be forced to see a psychiatrist, accusing her of trying to turn their child against him, the 52-year-old actress responded with the claim that her ex suffered from "severe emotional problems."
On June 9 Baldwin requested court-appointed counseling so that he could speed up the process of getting Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Maren Nelson, who has been monitoring the warring factions since last year, to (hopefully) approve his motion to increase the number of visits and phone calls he gets with Ireland.
Nelson wholeheartedly agreed and last Thursday named Mary Lund to conduct Baldwin's evaluation some time between now and July 20. The commissioner also ordered that Basinger and Ireland be available for interviews and counseling during that period, too.
Lund's job will be to recommend whether Baldwin gets more or fewer visits and phone calls with his daughter this summer and whether Thursday can be added onto his three-day weekend privileges.
According to Nelson's order, Lund also gets to determine whether Baldwin and Basinger need further counseling to improve their communication and parenting skills and whether Ireland wouldn't benefit from a few more sessions with a trained professional, as well.
Baldwin's attorney, Vicki Greene, had requested that her client be allowed to interview his evaluator before they had an official session together, but Nelson denied the motion.
Despite arriving at a so-called truce in 2004 over who got to see Ireland when and where, the New York-based Baldwin and L.A.-based Basinger were back in court in October, battling it out over holiday privileges and phone call rights.
After seven years of matrimony the couple split in December 2000 and Basinger filed for divorce a few months later, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Apparently.
