Anna Kepner Murder Case: Stepbrother's Parents Fight Over Child Support in Court
The parents of T.H., the 16-year-old stepbrother accused of murdering Anna Kepner on a cruise ship, are now fighting over child support for him in court. T.H.'s father Thomas Hudson is seeking to modify support payments while his son faces murder charges as an adult.
The family tragedy around Anna Kepner's death has now expanded into a bitter court fight over money. T.H., Kepner's 16-year-old stepbrother, was recently indicted as an adult for her murder and aggravated sexual abuse during a cruise ship trip.
Now his parents are battling in family court over child support. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, T.H.'s father Thomas Hudson is trying to change how much he pays in support for his son.
T.H. pleaded not guilty to the murder charges in Florida court earlier this week. Kepner's death was ruled a homicide by mechanical asphyxiation, meaning she was choked or suffocated.
The cruise ship murder case has already drawn national attention. Now the family's private financial disputes are also becoming public as both criminal and civil court cases move forward.
This case shows how murder charges can tear families apart in unexpected ways. When a child is charged with a serious crime, parents often face huge legal bills and family court battles on top of the criminal case.
T.H.'s criminal trial will proceed in Florida courts while the child support case moves through family court.
