Nancy and her husband eventually divorced on September 1, 2005. It is unclear if this was the date they truly divorced, though. There is also a record of them divorcing on January 30th, 1984.<ref>https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/GVDZ-KV9/nancy-jean-kiswiney-1947-2019</ref> It is possible they remarried, but confirmation on this matter is inconclusive. | Nancy and her husband eventually divorced on September 1, 2005.

When [[Daniel Larson]], her grandson, was about 11 years old, he was removed from his mother’s care due to him suffering from alleged abuse and neglect. After Daniel was taken from her daughter’s care, a custody battle involving Elisabeth, Travis, and Nancy began. Information on this is sparse, but according to Daniel, Nancy’s main argument for him to not be in his father’s care was because he, quote, “didn’t even know his father.”<ref>[[Spiddlekick Interview]]</ref> One of the other reasons stated for Nancy wanting custody of Daniel was due to fear of him ending up in a foster home, which he had been in many beforehand. Regardless of the validity of the former statement, this raises many questions about what Daniel and his father's relationship was like before his parents broke things off. It is possible that Nancy was a case manager for Daniel, or at least took on that role during Daniel's stay within his foster homes and under her guardianship. | When [[Daniel Larson]], her grandson, was about 11 years old, he was removed from his mother’s care due to him suffering from alleged abuse and neglect.<ref>[[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report]]</ref> After Daniel was taken from her daughter’s care, a custody battle involving Elisabeth, Travis, and Nancy began.

In the end, Nancy gained custody of Daniel, and eventually became Daniel's legal guardian. Afterward, Nancy would take him out of the Tennyson centers housing program, and would be moved to just schooling. In December 2012, local Colorado news channel KWGN [[KWGN Tennyson Center News Report|reported]] on the Tennyson Center, featuring a 14-year-old Daniel and his grandmother. Nancy speaks on how Daniel was a very angry child before she gained custody of him, and was now on the path to improvement. | In the end, Nancy gained custody of Daniel, and eventually became Daniel's legal guardian.
