Analiz Perez is Granted Daily Visitation of Daughter in DHS Custody

Nina Perez

In an update to a story we have been following closely since Monday of last week, twenty-two-year-old Analiz Perez Gutierrez, whose infant daughter was removed from her custody by the Department of Human Services, has been granted visitation.  The toddler remains in the care of a foster parent while the ongoing custody battle between Perez and her Guatemalan ex-boyfriend plays out in the Belize Family Court.  News Five understands that Perez is being allowed daily supervised visits with two-year-old Nina at an undisclosed location.  We also understand that the child remains in high spirits, despite having to adjust to a new living environment.  Nina was taken away from her mother on November thirteenth, under instructions from the department upon learning that Guatemalan authorities had filed a case under the Hague Convention.  Perez is due in court on January fifteenth, 2016, on the same date when temporary custody of her daughter will expire.
