Today the judge over Bobby Brown’s and the Houston family’s guardianship case has ruled that Bobby Brown will not be the sole legal guardian of Bobbi Kristina, but will have co-guardianship, along with Pat Houston, over Bobbi Kristina.
Here are the details of the ruling that were just released today: (via TMZ)

Whitney Houston’s family and Bobby Brown will now be forced to work together — Bobby and Pat Houston have been appointed co-guardians of Bobbi Kristina.
The court ruling means Whitney’s sister-in-law and Bobby will now share responsibility for 22-year-old Bobbi Kristina’s medical care. Bobby filed a petition last month to become her legal guardian.
The court also appointed an attorney — Bedelia Hargrove — as conservator, and she will control all financial and legal matters for Bobbi Kristina … who is now breathing on her own.
We got video of Pat and Cissy Houston leaving the DeKalb Co. courthouse after Thursday’s hearing, and Pat told us, “It was a good day.”

Here is the statement Bobby Brown’s and Pat Houston’s attorneys released today via US Magazine:

“We are delighted to inform the public that the court has appointed Bobby Brown and Pat Houston as co-guardians of Bobbi Kristina Brown (‘Krissi’). Both Mr. Brown and Ms. Houston are jointly responsible for decisions related to Krissi’s care and medical needs,” reads a statement issued by David Long-Daniels, Counsel for Pat Houston and Cissy Houston, and Christopher Brown, Counsel for Bobby Brown.
“Ms. Hargrove is responsible for Krissi’s assets, including her likeness, rights and legal claims,” the statement explains. According to Hargrove’s law firm’s site, she “specializes in fiduciary litigation, probate and estate administration, estate planning, personal injury and wrongful death cases, as well as general civil litigation.“
“Both parties are delighted with the court’s decision and are working harmoniously to ensure Krissi receives the best possible medical care. We are appreciative of the manner in which Judge Jeryl Debra Rosh handled this matter,” the statement concluded.

I totally agree with the decision. Bobby Brown is Bobbi Kristina’s closest relative and should be the one to make the critical and necessary decisions. Pat Houston, Bobbi Kristina’s aunt, by marriage, was given control of the money aspect by Whitney. Bobbi Kristina’s medical care is going to require a huge sum of money. I’m sure that’s why they were in court. It seems to me like some of the family wants to give her every possible chance to survive no matter how long it takes or how much money it takes. It seems to me like some of the family is okay pulling the plug and therefore gaining access to the inheritance before all of it goes to keeping her alive. This may seem harsh to some readers, but listening to, observing body language, and reading all the reported information since Bobbi Kristina was found, this is what I see. Bringing in a third party, the appointed attorney, to oversee the situation is the best decision to make. I pray that Bobbi Kristina will be granted a miracle. I pray that the family will continue to hope for a miracle.
If Pat and her husband were to divorce today or tomorrow, they would no longer be related, Pat married Whitney’s brother, so how is that a good idea to you?
This is a fair decision by the judge. Mr. Brown just wants to latch onto the money that is Bobbi Kristina’s money. Whitney Houston left her money to her daughter, not the Brown family. The Houston family members are next in line to receive the inheritance.

I think the judge has loss his or her mind, look what happen to Bobbi Kristina, while Pat and her grandmother were in control. So did they pay off the Judge or what. It seems like the only thing Pat and Cissy, want to do is end the child’s life.
What kind of heartless grandmother is this. The Aunt by marriage only, she wants the money.
I hope Bobby Brown, can keep his daughter in this or some faculty until ever last dime of her estate is gone.
Bobby keep the pressure on those three, they are not good for your daughter, and if Whitney would have been in her right mind, she would have never left them in charge

Isn’t Pat married to Whitney’s brother, and if so, how would she even be considered unless Bobby asked to judge to include her. Bobby is the father so he would have sole custody regardless of what the judge says…!
