Maribel Guardia's husband denies custody bid, says actress sought visitation rights

Marco Chacón, husband and lawyer for Mexican actress Maribel Guardia, has clarified the actress's intentions regarding her grandson. He stated that Guardia was not seeking custody of her grandson but rather a "dignified visitation schedule" to formally arrange times she could see the child.

The grandmother just wants a dignified visitation schedule with the child, to be able to spend time with him, and that's all.

Chacón addressed a lawsuit filed against Guardia for alleged moral damages by the child's mother, Imelda Garza Tuñón. He explained that while Guardia did file a counterclaim, her sole aim was to establish a court-supervised visitation plan. "The grandmother just wants a dignified visitation schedule with the child, to be able to spend time with him, and that's all," Chacón said. "We are not looking for money; we are very old to be raising a child again."

He also commented on the appointment of Addis Tuñón as the child's new guardian. Chacón suggested this appointment might benefit Imelda Garza Tuñón, alleging she is attempting to claim half of the inheritance designated for her son. Chacón emphasized that neither he nor Maribel Guardia are heirs, as the child, José Julián, is the sole universal heir to the estate of his late father, Julián Figueroa.

“

We have not been notified.

Chacón further stated that they have not yet been officially notified of the lawsuit, contrary to claims made by Garza Tuñón's legal defense. He asserted that their intention was to reach a conciliation hearing, not to retain the child. The legal proceedings are ongoing, with Chacón aiming to secure visitation rights for Guardia.

“

the guardianship, within a succession process, must be a person who watches over the child's interest and not the mother's, because the mother has a conflict of interest as she is the one who is fighting for the inheritance from the child.
