Mane Swett's Emotional Plea: 60-Day Extension in Custody Battle

Mane Swett Seeks Court Extension in Custody Battle, Citing Family Tragedy and Financial Hardship Chilean actress Mane Swett is facing a legal battle for custody of her son. Her legal team recently filed for a 60-day extension to submit an appeal in the case. The request, filed on May 24th, 2025, cites both financial difficulties and significant recent family events as reasons for the delay. The filing includes new arguments based on the death of Swett's father and the brain paralysis of her sister. These events, according to the filing, have significantly impacted her ability to pursue the case effectively. Roger Asmar, a New York-based lawyer specializing in similar cases, commented on the situation. "To get a court extension, you really need to demonstrate an emergency," Asmar stated. "The court needs to see that there's a compelling reason for the delay." Swett's legal team is working to secure the necessary funds to cover legal fees associated with the appeal. The outcome of the request remains pending.
