In court docs obtained by Us, Samodanava requested primary custody of the pair’s children, claiming her former spouse “refused to amend the schedule amicably” and “was not available to take care of our daughters” due to his “long work hours and travels.” Samodanava asked that Olivia and Zlata stay with her on all weekdays and every other weekend when Savchenko is in town. “I have facilitated visits when [Savchenko] is in Los Angeles and has the time to see our children as his schedule allows. I will continue to do so,” she claimed in the docs.
A hearing is scheduled for March 21, 2022, shortly before Savchenko concludes his run on the DWTS tour.
