General Hospital star Steve Burton is embroiled in a heated custody dispute with his ex-wife, Sheree Burton — and newly revealed alleged text messages are offering a glimpse into their ongoing conflict.
According to reports from TMZ, Steve submitted the messages as part of their legal battle over custody and visitation of their 11-year-old daughter, Brooklyn. The exchanges reportedly highlight growing tensions between the former couple, particularly over scheduling decisions and parenting priorities.
In one alleged message from March 2026, Steve accused Sheree of being manipulative after she enrolled their daughter in a summer program in California — something he claimed interfered with his plans to spend time traveling with her. He argued that family time should take precedence over extracurricular activities and suggested Sheree was placing him in a difficult position.
Sheree, however, didn’t back down. In her reported response, she maintained that their daughter wanted to join the program and insisted Steve was already aware of the plans. She also pointed out that his move to Tennessee was his own decision, not something she pushed for, before ending the conversation and declining to continue the discussion.
The situation appears to reflect deeper issues between the two. In another alleged exchange, Steve claimed Sheree had never been willing to cooperate, saying their inability to agree was what led them to court in the first place.
Additional legal documents from 2025 further paint the picture. Steve’s legal team reportedly cited the high cost of living in California and his demanding work schedule — including long weekly commutes — as reasons behind his planned move to Tennessee, noting the stress was beginning to impact his health.
As the dispute continues, Steve has asked the court to intervene, alleging that Sheree has not been complying with his court-ordered visitation rights. The case marks another intense chapter in the former couple’s ongoing custody battle.#newsafro_
