Wizard Liz Fires Back at Claim Landon 'Gave the Baby Back' as She Reveals $120,000 Legal Bill

The Wizard Liz has rejected comments claiming Landon Nickerson simply 'gave the baby back' to her, saying he returned their child after he was about to be evicted and could no longer afford rent or a nanny.

Liz also said she spent US$100,000 (£73,300) on lawyer fees during the custody dispute and paid Landon a further US$20,000 (£14,700), describing the latter as being 'for my child back'. Together, the two amounts she cited total US$120,000 (£88,000).

The exchange came beneath a TikTok post featuring Liz with her child, after one commenter wrote: 'The only thing Landon did was give the baby back to you'. Liz rejected that description and gave her account of why their child returned to her care.

Liz Says Landon Was About To Be Evicted

In her response, Liz said: 'He did it because he was about to get evicted and couldn't afford rent and the nanny any longer'.

Liz did not provide details about Landon's housing or financial circumstances in the comment. The claim reflects her account of what prompted the child's return and has not been independently verified.

Her response challenged the commenter's suggestion that Landon handed the child back, with Liz instead attributing the change to financial pressure involving housing and childcare. She presented the return as the result of circumstances that had changed while the child was in his care, rather than as a straightforward handover.

Liz Disputes Claims Her Child Was Well Cared For

The exchange continued after another commenter wrote: 'He was really fed well and taken care tho. So cute'.

Liz disputed that assessment, claiming her child had missed paediatrician appointments while in Landon's care. She also accused him of withholding the child because he expected her to financially support his lifestyle.

Liz wrote: 'No, he missed his pediatrician appointments because that loser didn't want to take him. He thought I would support his lifestyle if he kidnaps the child but once he realized I won't give him money he decides to hive him back for 20k lol'.

The claims about missed paediatrician appointments, Landon's alleged intentions, and Liz's use of the term 'kidnaps' are allegations made by Liz. She did not provide supporting documentation in the comment.

Liz Pushes Back on 'Gave the Baby Back' Claim

Liz's responses offered a different explanation, saying the child's return followed financial difficulties involving housing and childcare. She also linked the return to her claim that Landon realised she would not financially support him.

Custody Dispute Has a Longer History

Liz and Landon's custody dispute became public after Liz left the United States amid visa-related complications in May 2026. She previously claimed Landon had obtained a child-related restraining order that prevented her from taking their son with her.

Earlier reporting noted that the alleged filing had not been independently verified in court records. Landon disputed Liz's characterisation of the situation and rejected the suggestion that he was deliberately keeping their child from her.

The competing accounts have left the custody arrangement contested, with Liz's comments adding her explanation of what led to the child's return.

Liz's comments add further allegations about the child's care and the circumstances of his return, while offering her account of the financial toll of the custody dispute.
