Usher Raymond and his ex wife Tameka
returned to Atlanta’s Fulton County courthouse Monday (Aug 13), where
Usher reportedly took the stand and gave his testimony about how he
feels as though his two kids will be better off with him, than with
their mother.
Tameka, who is still recovering from the recent death of her 11-year-old son Kile Glover (who was just buried last month),
sat quietly while Usher was cross-examined, and talked about his
stalker issues and revealed his intentions of taking the boys with him
next year during his European tour.
Usher and Tameka currently share joint custody of their 4-year-old son Usher Raymond
V and 3-year-old Naviyd under the terms of a “co-parenting agreement,”
but Usher is seeking FULL custody because he doesn’t trust Tameka’s parenting skills, for whatever reason.
Temeka.....Ushers former wife
Tameka’s attorney referenced Usher’s worldwide work schedule, which would surely interrupt the singer’s parenting time.
The boys would most likely be with Nanny’s throughout their time
spent with their father, however Usher seems to feel that’s better than
them being with Tameka, who he says is not producing an itinerary and
following their court-ordered agreement.
Usher remained on the stand Monday, speaking in a soft, low tone about how disturbed he was that Tameka wasn’t specific about where she was with the kids.
“It’s alarming that I never know who was actually on the trip, who
was with them, who was caretaking for them,” Usher said on the stand on
Monday morning. “Was the nanny there, was it a relative or a family member
or one of the other children watching the kids? Was it a cousin, or an
uncle—I don’t know, I never know. I never get any information
unfortunately until we’re in court.”
Usher is attempting to prove that he can provide a more stable environment and safe environment for the two boys, while Tameka is merely trying to maintain joint custody.
As expected, Tameka’s attorneys brought up Usher’s crazy stalker,
Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw, and made him explain just how she managed to
get so close to their kids.
Rakestraw made it all the way into Usher’s John’s Creek home and even took pictures
while inside … and Usher explained how it was his grandmother who let
Darshelle in, assuming that she may have had an appointment.
His on-site bodyguard escorted her out to the front yard (the first time) and authorities were notified. Darshelle was later arrested after she returned to his residence.
Usher, Temeka and their son Kyle....Happy family back of the days
As we previously reported, in light of the death of Tameka’s son
Kile, Usher had asked the judge to delay the bitter child custody war …
but Tameka claims that the singer did NOT care about her dead son, and
only pretended to be affected by the tragedy to gain sympathy from his
fans and the media.
In his request to delay the hearing, Usher claimed that he was
worried that it would cause “unnecessary stress and strain” for himself,
Tameka and their two minor children “in the immediate wake of this
tragedy.”
Usher also reportedly claimed that Tameka would get an “unfair
advantage” in the hearing because the court wouldn’t want to rule
against a woman who is still grieving the death of her 11-year-old son.
Usher believes that the judge will rule in favor of her because she
just lose a child, and giving Usher full custody would be like she’s
losing two more … and somehow Usher thinks that is “unfair” to him.
However, Tameka’s lawyers say that Usher is full of it … and his
claims of suffering “stress and strain” are utterly and completely
“BOGUS.”
