Usher Raymond and his ex-wife Tameka are still in the midst of hashing out the details of their on-going custody battle.
The couple appeared in court Tuesday, May 1, 2012 to begin the trial, only to be subjected to court ordered mediation.

Day 2 of the mediation resumed yesterday (May 2, 2012) and Usher & Tameka returned to Fulton County courthouse, where they remained behind closed doors for several hours attempting to resolve the issue.
Update below…
According to SandraRose, who sent a spy downtown to gather details:
Usher is battling Tameka for custody of their sons, Usher Raymond V, 5, and Naviyd Ely Raymond, 3.
Usher believes Tameka is an unfit mother and he is asking for full custody of his sons. Usher and Tameka currently share joint custody of the boys. Yesterday, the judge ordered both Usher and Tameka to hash out an agreement behind closed doors. But the two parties could not come to an agreement that suited them.
According to my spy, a court appointed Psychologist was called to give testimony about whether Tameka Raymond was mentally stable to keep custody of her two son’s, however Usher’s attorney filed a motion to exclude media during the testimony of the doctor, citing details of a sensitive nature that would not be in the best interest of the children if the details were made public.
We can only speculate as to what that means. Obviously, Usher is worried about Tameka spilling the beans about something personal pertaining to Usher. READ MORE
Ouch! I predict those pesky gay rumors about Usher will resume again in about 5… 4… 3…
And as if on cue, Usher released the artwork for his upcoming album, “Looking 4 Myself” yesterday…
Usher’s Looking 4 Myself arrives June 12th via RCA. The album will feature fourteen tracks for its standard edition and four bonus songs for its deluxe package.

He didnt know she was crazy before he seeded her up? She worked for him for years and before they got married, now all of sudden she is mentally unstable. I guess call me druggy, I call you psycho
I told Usher he should have talked to me before he married that woman…lol. Everyone cuts their own deal.
Well u knew what it was like Truth Says I agree u knew she was crazy before u had them babies.Also if u are gay or Bi who cares every1 something these days..Jus don’t use babies as cash call Temeka (SAKS) to rich for my blood u too grown-ass people get along for kids..ALL FOR KIDS NOT TO GROWN ASS ADULTS CAN’T GET ALONG
She took a hiatus yet still creeps on from Twitter..what happened to her owning a shop, having her own career? What does she actually need nannies for? I think she is a good mother, but she also feels entitled too his money for herself and the other children that aren’t his..I also believe that Grace put him up to this..he didn’t seem to have issues before
He should have listened to his mother on this one. #Wisdom
Smh…she’s going to be up ish creek without a paddle if he wins. She need to sit dwn somewhere and concentrate on being a mom instead of being so vindictive #imo
I don’t think either of them should have full custody. Boys need a father in their life, but Usher’s schedule is too unpredictable. Work it out, parents.
stl. you’re so right.
ITS OBVIOUS USHER OR HIS PSYCHOLOGIST AREN’T THINKING OF THE BEST INTEREST OF THE 2 KIDS B/C IF THEY WERE THEY WOULD KNOW HOW MUCH MENTAL DAMAGE IT WILL DO TO THE BOYS IF THEY ARE SEPARATED FROM THEIR 3 OTHER BROTHERS AND THEIR MOTHER. HE WANTED TAMIKA SO BADLY THAT HE SMILED ALL UP IN HER HUSBAND’S FACE BEING ALL FAKE SCHEMING TO TAKE HER SO NOW HIS AZZ NEEDS TO BE STUCK WITH HER FOR LIFE. HE’S ALWAYS WANTING SOMEONE ELSE’S WOMAN THEN CRIES FOUL WHEN SH*T GOES SOUR. HE’S TOTALLY WACK WITH THAT JACKED UP HAIR. SMH!!!!…….JENNY JONES!!!
He should of skipped the nuptials with Mama Patton. I bet this week besides loving his sons he wish he had.
Couple thoughts… How somebody interprets Usher requesting a psychological review of Tameka into him being scared of gay rumors is beyond me. He’s trying to protect his sons from knowing how crazy their mother is, not how gay he is, which I doubt anyway.
Secondly, just because Usher seeks full custody does not mean that the kids will be separated from their brothers. Even if he has full custody, Tameka can and most likely will receive some kind of visitation rights. Usher even spoke well of one of her other sons on the radio recently so lets not get over dramatic here now.
Tameka should be happy that Usher wants to take the boys and raise them. That’s what a father is suppose to do. My ex raise our boys and I had visation rights. There are many woman who would love this, but most men aren’t willing to set up to the plate. It doesn’t make you a bad mother, there just as much his than the mothers. I was able to go to finish college and get a good job. I spent good quality time with the boys, our bond is very special. I am so proud of their dad, for being responsible. There is nothing that I wouldn’t do, for him. He is a great father.
I so hate it when you post that other site! I DO NOT WANT TO RE-DIRECT to that OTHER SITE. If I wanted to go to that extra negative place, I would. I come here instead.
You got the age of Usher V wrong he is only 4 years old. Please change that. That is all thank you.
I just can’t see whey they both can’t get along, period. Usher, the money bags of the operation, can have visitation and all that. He is the father, and WANTS to be a father, duly noted. Tameka, on the other hand, doesn’t have a dime, riding off her hubby, and she couldn’t even keep her marriage in check..going here for plastic surgery and her man didn’t even know it, smh. Seems to me, that if you raised kids before or not, ACT like you want to be a parent, period.
*U used to F him, u can be nice to him, for the sake of the kids
*If he gets sole custody, her azz is out, period.
Do what you must, for the kids, period.
