11:30a UPDATE – Attorneys for both Sini and Wesley Matthews asked for another delay in the hearing to regain custody of their 4 
year old biological child. Today’s hearing lasted just 10 minutes and new hearing has been scheduled for November 29th.
Wesley Mathews’ civil attorney, David Kleckner says they need time to put a case together and prove he should not lose his parental rights. Kleckner says Mathews isn’t asking to visit the daughter, given that he’s behind bars…but that he wants the girl’s mother, Sini Matthews, to receive custody while his criminal case plays out. Kleckner also says the next hearing, which is set for the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, should be the last and likely won’t be delayed. He also indicated that Wesley Matthews would be at that next hearing.
DALLAS, TX – (WBAP/KLIF) – The family of 4-year old Sherin Matthews (left), the Richardson girl found dead last month will be in court today to try and determine where her four year old sister will stay. The biological child of Wesley and Sini Matthews has been in foster care since Sherin went missing on October 7th.
According to WFAA-TV, the girl’s mother has been able to visit her daughter once a week. The child’s father Wesley has been charged with injury to a child in connection with Sherin’s death. He gave police conflicting reports about her disappearance, but later admitted that she stopped breathing after he forced her to drink milk. Wesley Matthews remains at the Dallas County Jail on a $1 million dollar bond.
