'I love my daughter more than anything, and that’s why I’m fighting this battle,' Dr. Theresa Greene tells PEOPLE
Before hanging up with her daughter on Friday, Theresa says, “she was playing with her animal friends and she told me her cat was mad at me. And I’ve seen her do that before, she uses transference like that, while she talks to her animals.”But the idea that Theresa could easily expose her daughter to COVID-19 simply by virtue of working in the emergency room is a flawed one, her attorney Steven Nullman tells PEOPLE.
While Theresa and Eric have been divorced for nearly two years and shared joint custody of their daughter in that time, Eric was granted sole custody of the 4-year-old on April 9 until further notice. Theresa is appealing the custody order, saying that there is a “prejudice” against her because she is not married.
Nullman adds to PEOPLE that the “court made the ruling without taking any evidence or hearing from anybody who is qualified to give an opinion to the court as to whether or not children — or parents who work in the medical field and those children are more exposed than people who work in a grocery store or other type places.”Eric’s attorney Paul Leinoff tells PEOPLE in a statement that they both have the “upmost respect” for Theresa’s “commitment to her critical work during this pandemic.
