Hermes and Helena currently live in Monaco with their father, 41-year-old German businessman Daniel Giersch.

Rutherford will fly to Monaco soon for an Oct. 26 court date, according to People.
'Everybody agrees that it's best that the children be with both parents, and Kelly's enjoying being with them,' an insider told People last month.
'There is no way I am not going to fight to get my children back,' Kelly recently revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair for their November issue.

She's been fighting to bring Hermes and Helena back to the U.S. since 2012 when a California judge sent the children to live with their father temporarily in Europe because his U.S. work visa had been revoked.
The relocation was ordered for a period of two years until Giersch was able to apply for a new visa however the restrictions the judge imposed are totally unenforceable in French courts, according to ABC News.
