"Sisterly love. Ariel Winter&amp;apos;s sister, Shanelle Gray, has been granted permanent guardianship over her younger sibling, Entertainment Tonight reported Monday, April 5.\r\n\r\nThe latest development in Winter&amp;apos;s family case comes after a long and arduous court battle between 16-year-old Winter and her mother, Chrisoula &amp;quot;Crystal&amp;quot; Workman, who was previously accused of physically and emotionally abusing the Modern Family actress.\r\n\r\nThe saga traces back to November 2012, when the young TV star was removed from her mother&amp;apos;s home in light of suspected physical and emotional abuse. Gray was granted temporary guardianship over her sister, and a family feud quickly ensued. The actress&amp;apos; older brother, Jimmy Workman, filed documents last August to have the court remove Winter from Gray&amp;apos;s care and award custody to him instead.\r\n\r\nAccording to ET&amp;apos;s Monday report, a Los Angeles judge gave the star&amp;apos;s father, Glenn Workman, financial guardianship over Winter until she turns 18 in January 2016.\r\n\r\nWinter expressed her contentment living with her sister to Teen Vogue in March 2013. &amp;quot;My life is definitely more normal&amp;#x2014;and that&amp;apos;ll help me grow up like I&amp;apos;m supposed to,&amp;quot; she said in the interview. &amp;quot;Like, I always wanted to be a dancer, and now I&amp;apos;m taking dance classes. And I didn&amp;apos;t have many friends. It was all about work. Nowadays, my sister&amp;apos;s like, &amp;apos;You&amp;apos;re supposed to have friends. You&amp;apos;re supposed to go out on Friday and Saturday nights.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
