Usher returns to court as closing arguments are delivered in custody battle with ex-wife


Usher's Ex- wife Makes Her Argument in Court

Usher's long-running court battle with his ex-wife over the custody of their children looks set to be decided next week.
The 33-year-old RnB star and Tameka Foster were both giving evidence this week as she tries to prevent the singer from taking sole custody of their two young sons, while closing arguments were delivered today.
They currently have a co-parenting agreement for four-year-old Usher Raymond V and Naviyd, three, but the Yeah favourite is seeking sole custody, accusing his former spouse of being a bad mother.


According to Fox Atlanta, an attorney representing the vocalist said: 'We believe the evidence is that Ms Raymond is incapable of being a proper parent to these children.
'That she does not have the emotional stability or capacity to bond with them, and therefore she is handicapped.'
However the 41-year-old stylist's attorney Lisa West told the court the pop star is on the road all the time, and cannot rely on the 'village' of his mother, grandmother and aunt, who all attended, to keep the children.
She added that he does not have a good relationship with his mother, and said Miss Foster is determined to fight for custody.
The two divorced in 2009 and both sides admitted the current co-parenting arrangement is not working.
