Cheryl claims in the court documents that Meadow's mother, Rebecca Soteros, has an alcohol issue. (Soteros has been arrested for 2 DUIs — one in 2003 and one in 2013.) Cheryl also reportedly stated that she's qualified for the responsibility because she has raised four children of her own and is a registered nurse.

As previously reported, Walker requested in his will that Cheryl be appointed Meadow's guardian. He also left his entire $25 million fortune to the teen. His father, Paul Walker Sr., reportedly also stated that his son wanted Cheryl to be the custodian of the money.

Meadow had been staying with her father in L.A. at the time of his tragic death on Nov. 30. She has since traveled back to reside with Soteros in Hawaii, where she was raised for most of her life.
