Duggar Couple Relinquishes Custody of Nephew to Grandparents: Report

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have reportedly given up custody of their nephew, Tyler Hutchins, to his grandparents, John and Carolyn Hutchins. Tyler had been living with the Duggars since 2016 under permanent legal guardianship. The grandparents have petitioned an Arkansas court to become Tyler's guardians, stating that they can provide a stable environment for him and that his mother has no objections to the transfer. Tyler's mother, Rachel Hutchins, originally gave up custody due to financial and legal troubles, and the Duggars stepped in to care for him. Tyler's story has been featured on the reality show Counting On, and the Duggars have made him feel like part of their large family.
