Nadya Suleman, also known as the Octo-Mom, is still staving off attempts to maintain full control of her children and their estate. On Friday, a judge denied Suleman’s petition to block any outside guardians to oversee her children’s finances and invited the Department of Social Services to conduct an investigation into the matter.

The battle continues: on October 29, the Department of Social Services is expected to file a report giving a recommendation regarding the guardianship of the children’s estate.

"We are very happy that the court has upheld the law and allowed us to proceed with our case and our efforts to protect Nadya Suleman’s octuplets. Nadya Suleman’s attorneys attempted to dismiss our case but failed in their efforts. Although it is a victory for us, it is more importantly a victory for Nadya Suleman’s octuplets," Allred said in a statement.
