Paul Walker's mother wants guardianship of his daughter

Los Angeles - Paul Walker's mother wants guardianship of his daughter.

Cheryl Walker has filed court documents seeking legal guardianship of Meadow, 15, following the death of the Fast and Furious star in November because she believes the teenager's mum Rebecca Soteros is an alcoholic.

Meadow began living with her famous father full-time in California three years before his death, after moving there from Hawaii, where her mother - who was arrested in 2003 and 2013 for drink driving - raised her.

However, Cheryl claimed in the legal papers, obtained by TMZ, that Meadow and Rebecca are now both living with her, but she didn't feel Rebecca was fit to be a mother to the youngster.

Meadow is set to inherit Paul's entire fortune of a reported $25m after he named her as the sole beneficiary in his will.

The star also appointed his father Paul Walker snr as the executor, and stated that Cheryl should become Meadow's legal guardian.

It was previously claimed Rebecca was happy for Meadow to live with Cheryl, who is a nurse, after the death of Paul because the youngster wanted to stay in California.

The late actor perished alongside his friend Roger Rodas on 30 November, when the car they were travelling in lost control and crashed in Santa Clarita, California.
