Usher Awarded Primary Custody Of He & Tameka's Sons

Wow! This is so sad. Today in court, Usher Raymond was awarded primary custody of he and Tamaka's two young sons.

 

TMZ Reports

Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond just lost in the former couple's bitter custody battle -- TMZ has learned, a judge has awarded Usher primary custody of their two sons.

It's a shocking development -- considering both sides were trying to strip each other of custody. Tameka felt the singer was an absentee father who was too absorbed in his career to be a good dad. She also accused him of using drugs in front of the kids.

Usher argued Tameka was inattentive and irresponsible.

The ruling marks the end of an emotional custody trial -- involving wild accusations and name-calling ... Usher even broke down at one point on the witness stand.

But today, we're told a judge sided with the singer -- awarding Usher primary custody of the ex-couple's two sons, which means the children will be spending the majority of the time with their father.

Tameka still retains some custodial rights -- but the extent to which Tameka will be able to see her kids is unclear.


The bad part about the whole thing is that the kids will be with Usher, but not physically. Usher is promoting an album, touring, always away. What stable lifestyle could he provide to these young kids. Is it not bad enough they just lost their brother? Does Usher really have to take away their mother too. I mean, it's good that it's not sole custody and that Tameka still has SOME custodial rights but this is a sad sad situation for everyone involved, especially the children.

I officially no longer support his munchichi looking ass. He hasn't had anything worth buying since confessions anyway. He has no soul to do this to this woman after losing her son. He is an a****** of epic proportions.

This s*** is crazy... what did I miss? How is she an unfit mother that they will give a nigga that is on the road most of the time custody?? Is it because that dumb b**** of a god mother said that her GODSON comes to her house every weekend?? So the f*** what?.. This s*** has pissed me off...

Usher is heartless. Period. This woman just lost her son and now you take her children away?  This is heart breaking. I believe that there could have been a way of resolving this custody issue without it going to these lengths. I feel for Tameka.

I see judges are awarding primary custody of 'sons' to fathers lately.  Regardless of the mother's ability to parent.

SN:  I think when Usher asked for the hearing to be postponed because of her son's passing she should have taken his gesture and cooled off for a bit. I don't think she realized 'how it looks' in the judges eyes that she went right back to trial with no grieving period.

It boils down to who has the most money. I'm shocked at the decision.

I can't begin to imagine how she feels. first she loses her son, now this?  I definitely agree something like this could have possibly been handled out of court, where both parties could have come to a mature mutual agreement.

Given all that has taken place, this surely does make him appear heartless. When its all said & done, the kids are what matters most & in most times they suffer.  Sad times, but Lord, prayers go out to Tameka for real.

what the hell did Tameka do to deserve all this bad Karma? O.o

Comment by Sheli on August 24, 2012 at 4:24pm

I agree with @Spicey, I think they should have postponed the trial until she was somewhat healed from grieving AND they BOTH should have accepted the joint custody agreement. I think somewhere down the line, this was no longer about what was best for the children, both parties were hell bent on trying to screw the other party and make each other look bad.

I feel bad for Tameka b/c she just lost her son and I don't think removing two more of her children at this point was the right move, but honestly, I don't think Usher is any less capable of being a great father than Halle Berry or any other woman in entertainment is capable of being a great mother.

@miss double kiss ... what does karma have to do with this??

Comment by DdoubleD on August 24, 2012 at 4:35pm

I really thought that they would come to an agreement.  This was just too messy.  I think there is a lot more to the story, but those boys need both parents in their life.
