An Orange County family court has reportedly denied a request to expand visitation rights to Jesse James' ex-wife, adult film star Janine Lindemulder, after she sought overnight visits with their 5-year-old daughter, Sunny.
According to court records obtained by the LA Times, Lindemulder has weekly visitation rights with her daughter but only during daylight hours.
