Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain exchanged wedding rings in 1992. Six months later the couple gave birth to daughter Francis Bean Cobain. It was to be the only child the pair would have, since Kurt committed suicide in 1994. Now, Frances Bean has been taken away from Courtney and placed in a temporary guardianship according to court records.

A Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner granted control of the 17-year-old to Kurt Cobain`s mother, Wendy O`Connor, and his sister, Kimberly Dawn. The court filing doesn`t state a reason, nor does it mention Courtney Love.

In recent months, Love`s behavior has been quite erratic. The former frontwoman of rock band Hole has been criticized for blog post ramblings that have attacked Jews, a former bandmate and others. In fact, a notable fashion designer sued Love earlier this year over some posts, claiming they were libelous.

In September 2005, Love was sentenced to 180 days at a drug treatment facility for violating probation in three misdemeanor cases – one for illegal possession of painkillers, one for being under the influence of a controlled substance in public and another for assault and battery.

A three-page court order issued on Friday was all that was made public regarding the guardianship. Attorney Geraldine Wyle - who is handling the case for Kurt`s mother and sister - says it is a private family matter and no other comment would be issued. Love's publicist Alan Nierob said he didn't have any details about the guardianship.

The court order is valid until February. It doesn`t grant Cobain's mother and sister control over a trust established by the Nirvana frontman for his daughter.
