Judge extends guardianship for Modern Family’s Ariel Winter

Nov 20, 2012 by Ian Evans

Ariel Winter, seen here at the 18th Annual SAG Awards, will be under her sister’s guardianship for the time being.

Modern Family star Ariel Winter will remain in the care of her sister, a judge has ruled.

Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas made the decision based on input from a report by child protective investigators that had reservations about the 14-year-old actress’ mother, Chrisoula Workman. The investigators do believe that there is evidence of emotional abuse.

Winter will remain in the care of her sister, Shanelle Gray.
