She reportedly lost custody of her son due to neglect, her divorce papers from her second marriage claim.
Amanda filed for divorce from Brandon on November 7, 2019.
Additionally, the court papers read, “The parties have irreconcilable differences which require termination of their marriage.”
The court papers claim neither Amanda nor Brandon had custody of their son at the time of the divorce, as “said child is currently subject to a custody order in favor of the maternal grandfather.”

Amanda then filed a temporary parenting plan, where she noted that her father has custody of their son per a “Juvenile Court Order.”
The court papers include the Juvenile Court Order dated May 2014.
The documents reveal Amanda’s dad, Jesse, was granted temporary custody of Brandon on January 31, 2014.
THE DEETS
Jesse’s wife, Lisa, was added as a co-petitioner.
The document dated May 16, 2014 reads: “Mr. Conner testified the mother, Amanda Conner, was currently incarcerated in Nashville, Tennessee for a probation violation with her release expected in February 2015.
“The father, Brandon Hancock, was currently incarcerated on a probation violation and has new matters pending in Hamilton County.
“Paternal relatives have informed the father may be facing several years of incarceration.”
The court papers continued, “The court found said child dependent and neglected based upon both parents being incarcerated and leaving the child in Hamilton County without a legal guardian.
“Therefore, in the best interest of the child, the Court awarded legal custody of the petitioners.”
The mother and father’s parenting time is at the discretion of Lisa and Jesse.
BATTLING IT OUT
In February 2020, Amanda filed a Motion for Default Judgment, as she requested the judge grant the divorce without Brandon responding to her petition.
An Affidavit of Witness was filed by an interested party who claimed, “I have known Brandon and Amanda for around 10 years and have witnessed the abuse and adultery from Brandon to Amanda. I agree with the divorce.”
At a May 19, 2020 court hearing, a judge found Brandon guilty of inappropriate marital conduct and granted the divorce.
The parties were ordered the personal property in their possession and Amanda’s last name was restored to Conner.
As for custody, the court is “without jurisdiction” to rule on custody of their son because of the juvenile court order.
Amanda last posted her son on social media in May 2020.
Amanda’s father, Jesse, died on September 28, 2021.
Her mother, Lisa, posts and mentions Brandon on her social media.
