Tameka Raymond and Usher have been going at it in the courts over their children since the nasty end to their marriage. Although Tameka originally had full custody of their two sons, in the end Usher was able to convince the court that he deserved full custody and the boys have been in his care ever since, much to Tameka’s frustrations. Tameka has been hoping she can get the kids back, but so far her attempts haven’t been successful, even after their son Usher V was involved in a scary pool accident on Usher’s watch. However, Usher’s ex-wife has vowed to keep fighting for the kids in court, and she feels Usher is way too busy to not be willing to split time with the boys more.
TMZ is reporting that in the latest court documents filed in Georgia, Tameka is claiming Usher is refusing to properly co-parent with her, and she’s claiming Usher is doing whatever he wants with the kids and not consulting her on any decision he makes regarding them. She even says that Usher allegedly stormed out of a court ordered co-parenting class recently, and has refused to return despite her pleads.
Tameka also accuses the singer of refusing to include her in important decisions made regarding their sons’ future, and she’s also upset any decisions made about schooling, traveling and extracurricular activities are made without her. In the court documents, Tameka claims Usher has completely shut her out and she never knows where he takes the boys and what he’s doing with them. Interestingly enough, the last straw was when Usher signed the kids up for football practice without talking to her about it first.
Tameka is requesting that the judge holds Usher in contempt and she’s also requesting that the judge will order him to be a better co-parent.
Usher’s camp hasn’t released a statement on the latest court documents as of yet.
Both of them need to put their differences to the side and just be good parents. Just because the marriage didn’t work, it doesn’t mean they have to hate each other. I don’t get why people don’t understand that. Smh.
I am so sick of this if this is true Usher needs to be punished. The judge needs to be very strict with these parents and set very strict guidelines and if they are broken they should punished accordingly. Follow the rules Usher!
Smh. I don’t know if Usher is just trying to get back at Tameka because he feels she hurt his career or if he’s still upset about some of the things that happened when they were married but he needs to let it go. Let the woman be involved. It’s really not that serious. Grow up.
When will it end? LOL.
This is so stupid to me. The marriage ended, ok so let the past go. All this fighting and bickering won’t change anything.
In the case, Usher is wrong. He knows damn well he would act a fool if Tameka treated him the same way he’s treating her. I don’t understand why he’s being so vindictive. He won. The marriage ended. What more do you want dude? Stop acting like a scorned biotch and co parent!
LOL Usher can be such a queen. He’s obviously still mad about everything and feels the need to punish Tameka through the kids.
Sounds like Usher needs to stop acting like a diva and do right by his kids. Co-parenting is a good thing and they need to do it. Tameka was good enough to marry and have two kids with, so she should be good enough now to co-parent with if he’s not trying to give up full custody. Fair is fair.
Get it together Usher!
He’s still trying too get even. So petty.
If this is true I hope the judge does the right thing. He shouldn’t be doing this stuff to Tameka.
Tameka get a job bish…
We are only hearing one side of the story. Let’s wait until the entire story comes out to determine exactly how to feel.
Cosign.
For the record, Usher has Primary Physical Custody but Usher and Tameka have joint legal custody. This if what she is saying is true, Usher is dead wrong. However if she is simply trying to find a way to get primary physical custody by committing libel she in the one who is wrong. I’m interested in seeing how it all works out.
Tameka ain’t no angel man lmao
Often times we always assume it’s the woman who uses the kids as pawns to get back at their ex when in fact some men can be just as petty and childish and use the kids to get back at their ex for what happened during the course of their relationship (especially mama’s boys!) I too deal with this on a daily basis with an ex who tries his hardest to make co-parenting a challenge because I decided to end taking BS. Men and women alike need to learn that what’s most important is the kids’ overall well-being and not who was wrong when you were together. Let that mess go and do what’s best for the kids. Eventually these kids grow up and start asking questions and will ultimately see which parent was the one that didn’t do right in the end!
