Anna Gould style custody ruling favors Princess de Sagan
In Paris on December 30 the court denied Count Boni de Castellane’s bid to place the custody of his three sons with his mother. The children remain in the care of Princess de Sagan, formerly Miss Anna Gould of New York. They must not leave the continent without permission and will attend a college within 100 miles of Paris starting October 19, 1909. The court rejected that Prince de Sagan exercised a pernicious influence and allowed for future change if the household endangers the children.
