MAMA June Shannon’s daughter Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon has officially won full custody of her sister, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 16, in a new court ruling, The Celeb Report can exclusively report.
According to Georgia court documents first obtained by The Celeb Report, a judge awarded sole custody of Alana, 16, to her sister Pumpkin, 22, away from their mother June, 42.
In the final order issued in April 2022, the judge wrote that Pumpkin “has had guardianship of the minor child since April 29, 2019.
“It is in the best interest of the child that the plaintiff is awarded sole custody.”
The judge ordered June, 42, to pay $800 in monthly child support to Pumpkin, beginning on May 1, 2022, and to continue on the 1st of every month until Alana turns 18 years old.
Pumpkin now has the right to make the day-to-day care decisions for Alana, and she has the sole decision-making authority for major decisions as well.
Additionally, the 22-year-old mother of four will have the discretion to allow “visitation between the defendant [June] and the minor [Alana].”

In the ruling, the judge noted that both parties had agreed to the arrangement that was set forth in the document.

Josh Efird, 25, and Pumpkin certainly have their hands full, with son Bentley, 10 months, daughter Ella, 4, Alana and their newborn twins.
ADDICTION BATTLE
June’s battle with drugs spiraled out of control and came to a head when she was arrested on drug possession charges in March of 2019 along with her boyfriend at the time, Geno Doak, 46.
Pumpkin was awarded temporary guardianship over Alana in August of 2019, with permission from Alana’s father Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson.
In her drug addiction, June sold the family’s Georgia home at a loss for fast cash in October 2019.
June now claims to be nearly two years sober.
