Kelli and Welsey's mom, Billie Jean Campbell, who also had son Travis, now 51, with the singer, was awarded half of all the community assets, including musical compositions and recordings, when she and Glen divorced in 1975.

In another explosive family feud, Campbell's other son, Travis and his sister, Debby Campbell-Cloyd (Glen's daughter with first wife Diane Kirk) were in the middle of a heated battle with the star's fourth and most recent wife, Kim just last year. They alleged she's keeping Glen "secluded from the rest of the family" and is barring relatives "from participating in his care and/or treatment." They also claimed Kim was mishandling his fortune.

Son Travis told National Enquirer that his stepmother Kim, who wed Glen in 1982, is at the target of an FBI probe over her alleged financial negligence. "We have turned over information to authorities, the FBI and district attorney in two different states to prove that she's mismanaging his finances. We need to find out some things about what she's doing with the cash. Kim's lawyer claimed Travis' claims were entirely false. Kim claimed she was unaware of any type of investigation. "In the conservatorship lawsuit, an independent guardian investigated and found no impropriety, no elder abuse and no compromise to Glen's health or safety."

Travis and half-sister Debby filed a lawsuit in 2015 alleging Kim was "secluding" him and asked the courts to step in. "We had not seen Dad for almost eight months," Travis said, adding that he found out only through media reports that his father was living in a nursing home. "We only wanted a judge to appoint an outside third party as a financial conservator - and Kim spun to the press that we wanted money, which could not be further from the truth."

The suit also outlines how several of Glen's children were not on his approved visitors' list - but Kim and Glen's children together, Cal, Shannon and Ashley, all had ample access. "All she had to do is let us see Dad, just like her kids," Travis told The National Enquirer. "They can go in and out anytime they want."
