A judge in Georgia has granted Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon sole custody over her half sister "Honey Boo Boo" Alana, with visitation rights being decided by Pumpkin. June, who will be allowed to contact Alana by phone every day, was ordered to pay Pumpkin $800 per month in child support until Alana turns 18 years old.
Court documents reveal that June’s income is approximately $25,000 per month, though it depends on “production and endorsements.” At the time of the filing, Mama June’s show had “not been renewed for a new season,” so her only “certain income is disability in the amount of $1,015.00 per month.”.
Pumpkin, 22, was first awarded temporary guardianship over Honey Boo Boo in August 2019, with permission from her father, Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson, after June Shannon, 42, was arrested on drug possession charges that year with then-boyfriend Geno Doak. Pumpkin is also mom to son Bentley, 10 months, and daughter Ella, 4, with husband Joshua Efird, and is reportedly expecting twins.
While the custody news has served as a blow (or not), June is focusing on her life as a first-time bride now that she and Justin Stroud secretly tied the knot. Let's just hope she's been spayed.
