Chuck Liddell Seeks Emergency Custody After Dispute Over 14-Year-Old Daughter

Former UFC fighter Chuck Liddell, 56, has filed a petition for emergency custody in Los Angeles Superior Court amid a dispute with his ex-wife, Heidi Northcott, over their 14-year-old daughter, Guinevere.

Liddell alleges that Northcott took Guinevere from his home during his scheduled parenting time and transported her to Orange County. He claims she has no intention of returning their daughter and alleges that she violated existing custody agreements and court orders.

Northcott strongly denies the allegations of kidnapping. She says Guinevere begged to leave Liddell’s home and insists that she “never abducted anyone.”

Northcott has also accused Liddell of being controlling and claims that the children do not feel safe speaking openly with their father.

The conflicting accounts have turned the dispute into a custody matter that will now be considered by the court.

A hearing on Liddell’s emergency custody request is scheduled for August 24, 2026. The court has not yet ruled on the competing allegations or determined whether emergency custody is warranted.
