David Hasselhoff Gets Full Custody of Children
FRIDAY JUNE 15, 2007 02:00 PM EDT
By Mike Fleeman
David Hasselhoff was awarded primary custody of his two daughters on
Friday, his attorney tells PEOPLE.
Superior Court Judge Mark Juhas ruled that Hasselhoff's ex-wife,
Pamela Bach, could visit the teen-aged girls on alternate weekends and
on Wednesday nights for dinner, says lawyer Melvin S. Goldsman.
"If, down the road, the kids are comfortable seeing her more, Mr.
Hasselhoff has said he will let his children see their mother as often
as they want to," Goldsman says.
The decision marked a dramatic turnaround for the actor, who had been
blocked temporarily from seeing Taylor-Ann, 17, and Hayley, 14, after
a drunken video of the actor surfaced in May. Hasselhoff regained his
parental rights when he agreed to alcohol testing, sources say.
The former Baywatch star and now a judge on America's Got Talent left
the courtroom smiling, telling reporters it was "a beautiful day to go
to the beach."
"The judge said today, 'Enough – enough is enough, these children have
been through enough,'" Hasselhoff said.
Bach didn't comment, but was seen crying in the courthouse hallway.
Hasselhoff, 54, filed for divorce from Bach, 42, in January 2006 after
16 years of marriage; she filed her own divorce claim the following
day. The former couple have battled over finances and custody of their
daughters ever since.

Why did Hasselhoff get full custody? How bad is Bach in comparison?
I'll say this much: I wouldn't accept Debra Opri's legal services for free.
In fact, she couldn't pay me to represent me (which I suspect she's going to
have to start doing). I mean, it should've been a slam-dunk to get Larry
Birkhead his child, and if you can't get two teenage children away from a
drunkard like David Hasselhoff, you really need to look into the mirror and
examine whether the legal profession is for you anymore.
