Nearly four months after the largest child-custody case in U.S. history commenced, 51st District Judge Barbara Walther has broken it up, leaving 244 separate cases involving the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Walther split Case No. 2902 – which included more than 300 children – into 110 cases grouped by mother, and Case 2903, which included more than 30 children, into nine cases, also grouped by mother. They join 125 cases filed separately by the state’s Child Protective Services agency, which removed nearly 440 children from the sect’s Schleicher County compound in early April.

“This is something we’ve known all along needs to be done,” said Tom Green County District Court clerk Vicki Vines. “Nobody had a good enough grasp on it (until now). Everybody’s got it a little more under control.”
