Usher Fires Back At Ex-Wife’s Motion For New Trial In Custody Battle
Usher Raymond Is Asking the Court to Deny Ex-Wife’s Motion For New Trial In the Battle Over Custody of Their Two Sons
R&B star, Usher Raymond, is asking a court to deny a request made by his ex-wife, Tameka Foster-Raymond, to arrange a new trial for custody of their two children. As recently reported, Foster-Raymond’s legal team submitted a motion for a new trial in a Fulton County court in Georgia. The court documents contain evidence that could possibly prove corruption at the state judicial level. Foster-Raymond’s legal team has uncovered evidence that shows Usher Raymond’s attorney, John Mayoue, did more than just help Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane raise funds for her campaign re-election. The law firm that represented Usher held a fundraiser for Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane in 2008 that raised $1,278. The money raised was nearly half of the contributions to the judge’s re-election campaign in 2008. Tameka alleges Usher’s lawyer served on the judge’s re-election campaign committee.
According to the court documents, there is distinct evidence that indicates Judge Lane has presided over more of John Mayoue’s high profile cases then any other judge in the time period that she has been a family court judge. Additionally, Georgia state court rules that governs judges require cases to be evenly distributed among the three sitting family court judges. Based on statistical numbers, Judge Lane has presided over an unusually high percentage of Mayoue’s cases.
It was reported that her son was in the care of his biological dad when the accident ocurred. She and her son were not joined at the hip…there was nothing wrong with him being with his dad. So…is she unfit because her son had an accident and she wasn’t there??
The saddest part of this whole situation is that these two people obviously loved each other at one time; they created two beautiful boys. What they need to do is love their children more than they dislike one another and do what’s Best for them! Compromise and Balance is ALWAYS the key to a peaceful resolution. The two of them really don’t have to have Any interaction. If they can hire nannies and personal assistants then they can hire a liaison or mediator to do their communicating and the exchange of their children.
She lost a child, User’s sons lost a brother. They both need to sit without the lawyers and work something out. I must be difficult after losing one child not to have all of them together ,but she can’t afford to be wasting all her money on fees. Sit down and work something out for the kids sake.
I agree with Max-A-Million this is so sad, nobody wins! As a mother who has lost a child, I can’t imagine the courts taking away two more. If the courts want to do justice for these children. The parents should share custody and be placed in therapy together until they can work out whatever brought them to this point. Siblings grieve just like parents and they should not be a part of this anger that has surfaced between the parents. Don’t forget she also has two other sons who went from living with several siblings to just each other….this is tragedy! Everyone is still grieving. When did she become an unfit mother? I am an Usher fan, however I would fight tooth and nail for my children!
I don’t think Usher wanted to sue his ex-wife for custody. He probably would have been content with joint custody. But from my understanding of things I have read, Tameka kept blocking Usher from seeing his children. Often not being in place when Usher wanted to see his children. She left him no other recourse but to seek custody of his children. D-Wade had the same issues with his ex-wife and got custody of his children as well. Because I have been on the other side of this issue, I am a lot more understanding of the man’s point of view. My husband had the same issues with his ex. She was very manipulative and often used their son as a pun to make my husband’s life miserable! She played the same kind of games. He would go to pick up his son, and he often was not in place either. So, if what I have read about Usher’s ex-wife is true, then he has every right to seek and get custody of his boys. Let this be a lesson to all women who want to keep playing these petty games with the children. To me you don’t really love your children, if you continue to play these petty games instead of coming to some compromise as to how the two of you can parent your children together!
I agree with you. When she went after him she did not have a care for anyone but what she was doing and now she want woman all over to assume he is the bad one. When she is the person coming across as bad. Let him have the boys where is it written a mother makes a better parent?
