AceShowbiz - Actor and funnyman Tim Conway's daughter has obtained a temporary restraining order against his wife.

The Carol Burnett Show star's daughter Kelly is seeking to become his conservator as he battles dementia, claiming he is "almost entirely unresponsive", and she has asked lawmakers to put her in charge of her father's affairs, because she alleges his wife, Charlene, is planning to move him out of the "excellent skilled nursing facility", where he currently lives, and put him in one that doesn't have registered nurses at all times and his "24-hour caregiver and speech therapist" to help him swallow food and drink.

She also wants to be able to administer his medications "for the care and treatment of dementia".

According to New York Post's Page Six, Kelly has now obtained a restraining order to prevent Charlene from moving Conway out of his nursing facility.

"My brothers and I are extremely happy that the plan to move our dad by his wife has been temporarily stopped by a court order," a statement from Kelly reads. "We are grateful to the judge for taking this matter seriously by considering all the evidence before making a decision.

"We appreciate the overwhelming support and love we have received from my dad's friends and fans."

A decision about the conservatorship will reportedly be made on Friday, September 07.
