 In a March 18, 2022, hearing before Cashe, a child's abuse accusations involving Barnes were brought up, and Abelseth asked for full custody. But Cashe said criminal charges were never pursued against Barnes and that the evidence failed to support allegations he had abused a child. Days later, Barnes filed for full custody, claiming Abelseth provided their daughter with a second phone. Cashe granted the request the same day. 

 Abelseth tells PEOPLE the allegations made by Barnes she provided her daughter with a cell phone are "false."

 Neither Barnes nor Cashe has responded to PEOPLE's repeated requests for comment.

 Speaking to Fox News Digital, Barnes said he just wants the best for his "very intelligent" daughter, who has aspirations of becoming a nurse. "She has a very promising future," he told the site. "I want to preserve that and keep her on the right track like any loving parent would want for their child."

 The issue of the daughter's custody will be decided during a trial that's set to start July 15.
