Four Rockefeller children kept with father in New York custody ruling
State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Gagliardi refused to return custody of Malinda, Carol, Margaretta, and James to Mrs. Nelson Rockefeller. The four children remain with Dr. James Murphy under the April 1963 Sun Valley divorce terms, with liberal visitation. The judge found the health and welfare of the children are not harmed by the current arrangement. Mrs Rockefeller, who filed after Murphy's remarriage, grieved the decision and may appeal depending on visitation terms set by the court.
