Olivia’s Custody Battle Paused | Raleigh News

A tense custody battle unfolds between Gleb Savchenko and his ex-wife Elena Samodanova over their teenage daughter Olivia, as a judge temporarily halts relocation to Hong Kong and orders her to stay in Los Angeles for now. The pause stems from Elena’s Hague application regarding child abduction claims and Olivia’s failure to get into the California school Gleb wanted. Online schooling for the Hong Kong school is now under consideration, while daily calls from Elena remain unresolved. The dispute began when Gleb sought sole custody to enroll Olivia in L.A., prompting Elena to request primary custody and accuse him of canceling her flight without warning. With a November court date looming and no public statements from either parent, the case underscores the emotional toll on children caught in parental conflict — especially as they also share an eight-year-old daughter, Zlata, from their 14-year marriage.
