Anna Nicole Smith's 5-month-old daughter Dannielynn will remain with Howard K. Stern – at least until next month.
The decision came today from a judge in the Bahamas court. Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, and her former boyfriend, Larry Birkhead are both fighting for custody of the little girl, but the judge deferred ruling until March. Dannielynn will remain with Stern pending a ruling as he is listed as her father on her birth certificate.
TMZ reported earlier today that Birkhead had met with the little girl over the weekend and is working with Stern over a shared custody arrangement.
Arther, however, has been left out in the cold with the judge saying that she will need to get permission from Stern before she can meet her granddaughter.
Arther did have a legal victory in Florida, where an appeals court granted her request to stay last week's decision on the disposition of Smith's body. The petition argued that Stern had no standing in the matter and that Smith's remains cannot be moved to the Bahamas for burial until the court hears a challenge from Arthur.
