'But she wants to go to college: she's very good at graphic novels. Frances will be fine, it'll be fine.'
Courtney – who was subjected to a restraining order by her 17-year-old daughter just last year – added that the court order no longer applies.
'We don't speak on the phone, but we went to court so that we could start this thing called Family Wizard where our e-mails are monitored, so there's no restraining order any more,' she said.
