The custody battle between Usher Raymond and Tameka Foster Raymond is still chugging along.
There’s been some explosive revelations made recently regarding Usher’s attorney’s relationship with the Fulton County judge who sits on the case.
As I’ve said before Usher appeared smug in most of the proceedings and now we know why…
[READ: Does Usher Have Victory in The Bag?]
But while the superstar’s money and influence is sure to play a part in the final Judges decision, an order was issued recently that suggests things may be looking up for Tameka.
Details + court documents below…
The judge in the case issued an order of contempt against Usher Raymond yesterday and HipHopEnquirer obtained the official court documents in the case.
I for one can admit when I’m wrong. I fell for the okie doke Usher’s PR was serving and originally thought that Tameka was fighting over a credit card for her own personal use. Just like we found out it was REALLY Usher who filed for sole custody, it appears that he canceled his ex-wife’s SAK’s VIP discount card, which she happens to use in order to get discounts on items for styling her celebrity clients.
Due to the fact that it was a part of the divorce settlement that Tameka was to keep access to the card, the judge held Usher in contempt of the original order and demanded that he returned the card.
The judge also ordered Usher to pay up on all the nanny bills that he refused to pay and awarded Tameka $1,300 for the nanny.
Usher initiated proceedings seeking SOLE custody of the kids and was attempting to prove that Tameka is an “unfit” mother. His “smoking gun” happened to be a “friend” of Tameka’s who took the stand to say the exact words “Tameka is a bad mother,” while I’m sure she practiced in the mirror all night, I for one, didn’t fall for her testimony.

An order has NOT been issued regarding the custody of the pair’s two young sons, but in my opinion (an y’all know I have one) it would only be fair for the couple to continue to share custody 50/50 and work out their issues outside of the public’s eye.
Stay tuned…
(Got some time on your hands? CLICK HERE to read extensive details about the contempt order)
This case is juicier than a cutie (orange).
I agree Michelle , I wouldnt be surprised if nothing about the prior custody arrangement changed. they equally should share custody since they equally conceived them. the focus here should be soley the kids who need both there mother & father
I hate when people fight over kids… it’s utterly disgusting.
Thank you God! Ok,that’s one prayer answered! God bring it home and give this woman joint cusody!
I thought your were very biased all the way up until you gave your opinion which was fair and true. They should split 50/50 and keep it out of the public’s eye! I am a firm believer that when not knowing the true phone convos and behind door meetings, it’s hard to have a biased opinion. I feel for both of them and they seemed scarred that the love didn’t work out. People always say "but keep the kids out of it" but the kids are fine and will be. It’s our hearts and lives we have to fix and move on with. He was wrong for dragging her through the mud…but she was wrong for throwing rocks and hiding her hands which led to this. This is nothing new or abnormal..it’s Life & Love!
Very well said….
He should sack his lawyers, they didn’t know about the provisions in his divorce? Or is his ego too big that he defied them if they did tell him? I’m choosing to believe the latter..I think Usher knows he will be awarded 50/50 he just wanted to hurt Tameka and succeeded in doing so..I can like the music without liking the man..the man can kick rocks
Could be that Grace told him to do it. You know how much Usher likes listening to older women…Such bad mommy issues.
The more details that come on out in this case the more Usher looks like a a scorned spouse. His plot is to destroy this woman is clear by him tampering with that Saks card just to stop her from making her own money. This man likes to be in control by trying to keep Tameka depending upon him or just to crush her financially. It’s a sad situation when the father doesn’t have the best interest in the mother of his children.
Usher you are just like your daddy…petty.
Why would you talk about the man’s father, who is deceased? That’s tasteless.
And comments have been made against Kile, an innocent child, who’s also deceased. I haven’t heard anyone say that Usher had a deadbeat father because he was destined to grow up to be a dick, but people are quick to say Tameka’s son died because she doesn’t know how to treat people. Usher has talked about the man himself; continues to do so in his interviews. Be Objective ; )
just like ur father too.u mad that ur father wasn’t in ur life and Usher want to be in his kid life. don’t talk about his father or his gosh will come for u.
You’re up way past your bedtime sweetie. Say your prayers.
this is only a MOTION, it doesn’t mean he is being held in contempt! lol get your facts straight on what a MOTION is! NEXT story please!
hahahaha…what law school did YOU go to?! Get your money back PLEASE…
Okay so this grown woman cannot get a credit card in her name for her on business. Now if it was a card for the kids cool but I wouldn’t give anyone a credit card that I’m responsible for.This case in some areas is not about the kids after a divorce each should go there on way with limited ties.A credit card keeps you tied to that person I’m quite sure shes going to get alimony which I don’t believe in so she should be able to take care of herself.
The problem is that if he knowingly shut down the card when it was in the divorce decree than he is in contempt. People want to keep bringing up that it is a credit card blah blah blah but fact remains if he wanted to shut it down LEGALLY then he should of taken her back to court to do so.
Also if someone was taking you to court to take away your children wouldn’t you use whatever evidence you had to prove that he wasn’t perfect either. The SAK’s card was part of her evidence but people just want to keep harping on a discount card, even though the docs say clearly that he didn’t even refute or accuse her of misusing it.
I was thinking the same thing.. Why would she want a credit card with him?? Well I heard she was a thief and Sandrarose said someone was shopping around a video of her stealing. LOL. So maybe her credit is shot to shit too.
This is really petty and the kids need both parents. I just hate that Meek Meek all on twitter calling another woman Barren…It was in poor taste.. I mean she just lost a child
The card offers SAK’s VIP discount, therefore she wants the card to receive it’s perks.
It’s even worst taste to f*ck a married man while his wife is pregnant, and you’re married yourself.
Tomatoes, tomahtoes.
And even worse tacky ass taste to fuck a client you’re styling while your ass is married with a loving husband at home. Oh. Tameka fugly ass did the same exact shit Grace did. Have a seat.
I’m already sitting, thanks for your concern. My point is, none of them are saints.
I thought the Saks card was for discount (clothing) purposes only. I didnt think it was a credit card -please correct me if I am wrong. As far as the motion goes, page III states that for now, he is in contempt. Of course, this does not mean she has won her case; however, there were some bad judgements made that the judge corrected on Usher’s part. I to agree that the children need 50/50. What on earth has she done that he needs to take ALL of the custody from her? And, if it was THAT BAD, why does she still have them instead of Usher having an emergency hearing to petition the custody?….I’M JUST SAYIN’
those were my thoughts exactly!!!
Usher was held in contempt of the original divorce agreement the motion filed was asking for the card to be returned to Tameka which went in her favor so Usher was in contempt.
The card is not a credit card. It is a discount card giving her a percentage off the clothing she buys for her celebrity clients.
Usher is being a complete dick witholding that from her it is how she makes her money.
I do not care too much for Tameka but he is one cold bastard putting her through this two weeks after her son has died. Have some compassion Shame on him!
Actually it sounds like it may be…they mentioned that she was never late with the payments. This is very common for married couples to have credit together (while married) and during the divorce one person takes the card and is responsible for the payments etc. To risk his credit or credibility with the store from being messed up had she NOT paid the bills he could have taken her to court and SHE would have been in contempt but he canceled the card on is own and legally had no right to do that. Basically at one point he agreed to let her keep the card so this was documented with the courts… he got mad at her for whatever reason and canceled it. That’s a no no!! lol
I hope I didnt confuse you. lol
How come you all can’t figure this out?!! If he has full custody then he has to pay Tameka nothing!! right??
This is about MONEY!!
I’m still confused about the damn card! LOL. Wasn’t she a stylist before she met Usher? How was she getting clothes when she was married to Ryan Glover…
Exactly!!!!, I’m glad someone pointed that out.
She was a stylist, but she didn’t have her own stores.
Why the hail can’t a grown A’ZZ woman get her own card? Is her credit shot? I hope that an appeal is filed on that ruling because they are not married and why the hail should he put his credit rating on the line for someone who, obviously, has credit issues. SMH
I don’t see how anyone can say Michelle is being bias with this case. She was ripping Tameka to shreds when it first started, just like everyone who posted. Everyone knows of one Usher, but with the internet and so forth, everyone is getting to know who the REAL Usher Raymond is and he isn’t a very nice person.
If you come on this blog a lot, you know when Michelle is being bias and I’ve called her on it. Just like SR has friends of the blog, so does Michelle, only difference is she isn’t so far up their asses that she will ban you from posting on her blog if you have something negative to say about the person.
Whoop! There it is.
I’m sorry. Are we all missing the most important point here. Why is Usher ordered to give this woman 1,300 dollars for nanny fees. Isn’t this the same woman that states Usher shouldn’t receive custody because he will be touring and the kids will be left with a nanny.Usher has a valid reason why the kids should be left with a nanny, any reasonable, responsible parent wouldn’t allow their children up all night at their performances. But, Tameeka on the other hand needs a nanny to do what? Not to take care of her children like a mother would!! IJS
The 1300,00 is for past nanny fees that he agreed to pay and never did. At some point prior to all of this mess HE agreed to cover the nanny fees so HE must have thought that there was a reason to have a nanny when the kids are with her. I’m sure he feels some kind of way about that now but that is not the way the law works. You dont just get to throw a grown man tantrum and change things because you mad…
She has to earn a living too. Therefore, a nanny is needed. Please get off your high horse.
USHER WANTS TO AVOID PAYING CHILD SUPPORT – PERIOD!!!!!
Who is this broad still styling? LMAO. She’s gonna be blacklisted. Nobody is going to work with her. Clearly she can’t get the card in her own name because that shit is shot to hell so Usher is the only way she can keep it. WTF was she doing before him then? She fought harder for this card than the kids. FOH. I hope he gets his children.
Come on, judge with the country name. On with the BIG decision!
I’m sure she’s going to leave it exactly as it is as well. If so, Tameka better grow eyes in back of her head; if he’d send a detective to befriend her at her lowest point, he’d do any despicable thing.
these fake a.. b…… kill me screaming they’re independent, but they really want these dudes money. and the guys are too prideful to listen to their mom. her business wth didn’t she already have a card and who pays the bill, get your sympathy vote..if her son wouldn’t have died all of yall would be on Usher’s side. Scandalous her coochie is her pocketbook. or spittin out babies..why does he have to pay for her clients seems like that’s a promoter/sponsor to me and i’d take my damn profits off her clientele oops she doesn’t have one.
her son wouldn’t have died all of yall would be on Usher’s side.
************************
You are not the 1st person to say this, and because of that I’ve asked myself if I was team Tameka simply because of her tragedy. Truth is, I was starting to side with her BEFORE her tragedy, because more information was coming out. For one reason or another she certainly have her issues, but one thing UsHER just proved is that you can’t reveal one person’s skeletons without a few of your own falling out. Believe me, there’s a reason the court room was cleared of the press more than once.
Oh, the things Tameka could tell…
I asked myself the same question, but after going over the facts, I can’t help but side with Tameka. In all honesty, I try to stay away from celebrity’s going through a divorce because it’s never how it seems and in this case,I was right. In the beginning,EVRYBODY dogged Tameka(some still are) because people just assumed she was another groupie after Usher’s money. Michelle was one of them. I became more curious after two reasons. First, after her son died. Secondly, after Michelle said she was in the courtroom. This made me change because she (Michelle)was no longer blogging off of mere gossip,but she is now gettig it from the source,the courtroom. When Michelle began to change I said,"something isn’t adding up and I have to find out more." This case is sad because while everyone is looking at Usher,his kids,Grace,Tameka,etc.,we have to realize she has other children that needs their mother also.This is taking away from them. This women literally has the world on her shoulders and everybody is worried about a credit card. The credit card is merely a symbolic way of Usher still trying to control her. He still loves her. And just like the song goes,he hates how much he loves that girl. His feelings and actions are showing it! He wants her to hurt just as much as he’s hurting inside! Grace is just a temporary distraction!
Ok, so remember I said Usher had a secondary twitter account? IF (big IF) it is his, I’d say it’s his groupie account. This is where he ask for twerking videos, flirt with tweeters and talk about big asses. Because it gets vulgar, I have doubts. Reasons I DO believe it’s his is because it’s not been shut down, it is here where he tweeted "please pray for my extended family" after Kile’s accident, and he once posted "packing. guess where I’m going?" and the next day was photoed in Paris. Anyway, this tweet posted on there today makes me think it’s him, considering the ruling today. ATLien, you’re the Wiz behind the curtain. Can you verify the authenticity of this account?
URIV @UsherRaymond_IV
what you made last week, i just tipped the waiter
Good night, peeps!
I’ve seen that one before and I don’t think it’s him, but him and his girlfriend/manager are both on instagram
If it was a prt of the original divorce settlement then so be it BUT i really don’t understand why she should keep HIS Saks Card…if she’s not his wife anymore then she doesn’t get the benefits a wife gets. I think they should have JOINT custody of the kids and that he is responsible for HIS 2 kids….but she should get her own bills….so if he re-marries does his EX wife still get 2 use his Saks Discount card. i think that is some true blue bullshxt……
I believe she got the card because he was still getting the booty. May sound crazy but I am willing to bet that the sex didnt stop just because there was a divorce…I know many people who do it for years. There is way more to this story then any of us could imagine and I keep telling folks there are certain ties that are not broken just because papers were filed and a judge signed off on them. SOMETHING happened between these two AFTER the divorce that caused all of this mess. I just hope and pray that the judge order BOTH of them into JOINT parenting classes without the media and without girlfriends/managers and make them stay in it until a counselor is satisfied with their progress. These little lives deserves the best mommy and daddy that they can possibly be for them. #TeamKids
Cosign
Tameka admitted they were still having sex after the divorce. That was her reason for her going off on him when he dropped the kids off and had the new woman in the car at the end of the drive way. That sound like the truth you and your ex husband still having sex and he bring the new chick to your house yep I would be pissed too. I think Tameka should keep her kids that is unstable for the kids to go on tour with him.
A single man can be with any female he wants though…just b/c a man has sex with U doesn’t mean ya’ll are in some sort of relationship…if he wanted her in an intimate way besides sex he would never have divorced her in the first place…..if you giving up the milk when you know he don’t wanna buy the whole cow then that’s on you….sex & love are 2 totally different things…she can’t be mad if he moved on 2 someone else…he ain’t gonna stay single forever….all I know is she should front her own bills, SAKS included…the only responsibility he has is his 2 kids…when they got divorced she also got divorced from his $$$…if she’s mad that he’s dating other people then that means she hasn’t fully let him go…which means she’ll probably use those kids as "revenge’ of some sort…spiteful women do it all the time….I have a son, & even when his father & I bicker I have NEVER tried 2 use him as a pawn in the game of revenge…..Tameka seems like a very spiteful person who can truly raise hell if & when she doesn’t get her way…that’s Y his mom never liked her from the jump…..
@TashaGood yep and she had every right to go off. Her body is just as valuable as his. I wish more women would get that through their head. The credit card was the LEAST he could do…wasnt like he was paying the bill…
@LadyA he dont even respect his mama so listen to her is out the question. Actually I think if more people would have stayed OUT of their business including his mama they may have had some type of chance. Too many folks talking too much mess against a relationship that aint even theirs. Sad
@ Vay…yeah everybody has an opinion & everybody has a right 2 give it…& people talk too much about business that ain’t even theirs period(including you and I)…like commenting about ANYTHING on a blog…..
@Lady A…hmmmmmmmm do people have a right to an opinion and have a right to give it OR do people talk to much about stuff that’s not their business on a blog (like you and I) WHICH IS IT GIRL?! lol Dont bother answering that…just wanted you to see how your comment contradicted itself…but I’m sure I get your point…maybe…lol
@ Vay…..girl PLEASE…..i’m done with you and this post….I don’t know what contradiction you see but I don’t have time, space, or the desire 2 correct you on that…you seem like one of those nagging type women who MUST have the last word, so imma let you have it…Toodles Deary….
Yep…so here I go getting the last word…PEACE!!! hahahahaha
If Usher were smart enough to know, he wouldve known that family court is very sensitive toward children being with their mothers! meaning very rarely do the courts take children away from the mother unless she has abused or neglected them…they strongly believe in the child development system and knows that mom plays a key role in a childs longterm positive growth! so all you team Usher folks dont be surprised when it comes out that custody stays the same! I am not pleased with usher decisions, the kids are being put in the middle! and no1 is looking at Kyles death as a message! God is speaking to you all and yet you deal with it as if it were a chess game! shame on you #teamUsher
I wouldn’t be surprised if grace was behind this mess
Usher’s suits be on point….thats all i got.
USHER wants the kids to AVOID PAYING CHILD SUPPORT!!!!!
I don’t believe that…I just think he doesn’t want 2 pay support in any way, shape, or form for more than HIS 2 children, & neither should he….if she has custody of the kids then she should get child support BUT there needs 2 be a clear cut line between the costs of living for HIS two kids versus her total costs for her four or five kids….his child support $$ should be divided by 2, not 4 or 5….I honestly think Tameka expects 2 have access 2 his resources like she had when she was his wife ($$$, Saks card, etc)….for example if he pays a nanny bill, he should pay a nanny bill for his 2 kids…not her 4 or 5 kids total….it just ain’t right 2 milk him for $$ just cause he got it like that…go milk your other kids’ father(s)…..
Child support is calculated based on his income, her income and the number of kids they have together. Her other children never came into play in what he would have owed to her in child support. You dont just pull a number from the sky…and as far as the nanny payment, saks card etc this was something HE agreed to so regardless to if WE like it or not he cant just go changing legal agreements that were made…at one point in time he didnt have a problem with any of it.
@ Vay…yeah but I bet he has a problem with it NOW and I’m SURE in hindsight he would have NEVER agreed 2 that particular arrangement….but I’m sure he’s learning a valuable lesson from all this…hopefully they both are learning their lesson….like I said B4, had he listened 2 his mother and left the woman alone he wouldn’t be in this mess….that’s just MY opinion…..
And everything you said up until you got to the mama part I totally agree with. I am sure he would have done ALOT of things differently had he given it proper thought. To hear that a GROWN man should have listened to his mama makes my skin crawl…how about he should have been a man and handled his lustful ways before entering into a GODLY covenant with someone. I thank GOD that my mother has never gave her opinion on any of our mates and for that reason she is very close to all of us and our spouses and spends the night at our houses (to be close to her grand kids) and there is no drama. Our spouses welcome her because she knew her place Usher mama didnt. (My opinion) Now trust talking about mama’s is very sensitive for me as I adore mine so this is with all due respect to her. Had she stayed out of it she probably could have been the support that they both needed to be better parents and avoiding all of this crap that is on the internet that their kids will read one day.
I do think that he caused alot of this drama that he is going through and honestly had it not been Tameka it would have been another woman. But as you mentioned earlier that aint our business now is it…
@ Vay…whatever…..all I know is I’m gonna advise my son 2 stay away from nagging, golddigging, difficult type women…..and I can always tell the "Type"…..it ain’t our business but YOU sure seem 2 have a lot 2 say about it (LOL)….I guess you like blogging about business that ain’t yours but that’s neither here nor there (INSERT SIDE EYE)…..I’m done with this post 2 just like the last one….you can have the last word ….Toodles Deary…..
You do realize that WE have BOTH been commenting on this post right?! You seem to talk in circles so I pray that your son will have enough sense to pray before he excepts his mama’s counsel as "the truth". You clearly had a STRONG opinion about busuness that wasnt yours just like I did…but for some reason you dont see that *side eye right back at YOU…maybe teach your son how to stay away from woman like yourself…can see everyone elses faults but their own…difficult women to deal with indeed. *My final word!! hahaha
Michelle you’re not the only one who fell for the "SAKS" story many people have, and still do. The documents said: The card is in his name…And Meeka Pays the balance every month. (The card is in his name only and it’s a discount card. I’m mean really! Is that serious people.) It’s not like anyone knows the man. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if he people didn’t patrol the blog or drop a jewel or two on here.
You know that senerio you said was a what if? It also was around the time "Usher was questioning the rather or not his second child was his or not remember? So, he took a dna test!
I knew that his second son was his cause after that there was no more Meeka bashing in the media.
I wonder if anyone else remeber that. Everyone was talking about how the baby didn’t look like him. Do anyone remember that?
The question would be who was the entertainer that Meeka was "possibly" with that cause Usher to go on a payback crusade he seems to be on..
It has to be someone he dislike! so many, so many so many.
Sidenote: WHen will the judge give a verdict? It doesn’t take this long norally. Whats the holdup?
I dont think he was still hittn that…read Tameka’s own words on twitter or listen to her testimony. She even said when she returnd from Brazil…he had moved out….and do ya’ll not recall all the rants towards Grace beginning in 2009…If she had that kind of leverage that she could tweet so Grace could find out she would’ve…and ya’ll know she would’ve too. She would’ve tried to delete it after she tweeted it, but she most definately would’ve tweeted it.
Usher and I have the same birthday so I kind of know how he is operating. He is on dirty pay back mode. Us Libra’s are the sweetest things but once you do us wrong our ethics and morals can be forgotten and we will do what ever we can to cut you way deeper than you have cut us. Not saying that’s okay but I understand his logic.
^^^^I knew libras could be cold; I didn’t know they could be vengeful. Thanks for the head’s up lol
Actually I think if more people would have stayed OUT of their business including his mama they may have had some type of chance. Too many folks talking too much mess against a relationship that aint even theirs. Sad
And you’re exactly right. Usher was absolutely sleeping with her post divorce. His scales were out of balance I guess; one foot in, the other foot out (lyric from HIS lol). But if you wanna avoid sending mixed messages, stand by your decision. Don’t continue to lead someone on when you know they still got feelings.
i think they should give tameka full custody bcuz Usher clearly has lost him mind who drags a grieving mother to court trying to take 2 more of her kids..The claim that shes an unfit mother is BASELESs…he’s an entertainer and works on the road constantly,Tameka should’ve had full custody from JUMP and if his atorneys are involved in any way shape or form she’s biased and should be taken off the case..why hasn’t her attorneys asked her to step down *conflictOFinterest*
if his attorneys are involved with the judge,my bad
[...] SFTA – Raymond vs. Raymond [...]
Damn, is this judge on vacation? They did say this week, right? Tomorrow (should be) the big day, then.
*keeping fingers crossed and prayers going for Tameka*
Hey! The site (hip hop something) that the above court documents came from… go check it out if you havent already and read the details of this case. Very interesting stuff from a person that was in the court room during the whole time except when Ushers Att asked the media to leave. Michelle has been right on the money about Usher and this case…I just found ALL the details to be interesting. It was actually confirmation for me that my prayers have been directed in the right direction.
Girl, I read it. A must read.
It’s HipHopEnquirer (and btw thanks for the birthday wishes @Vay)
Happy Birthday! What are you, twenty, twenty-one? ; )
somewhere ‘roun there…
You welcome!!! Hope you enjoyed your day!!
I did… (((hugs)))
I was wondering the same thing!
This is the longest decision making ever. They normally make the judgement right then and there.
or do the two of them have another court date to return to court for a decision? I’m just asking!
No,she’ll summon them to court once she’s ready to announce, I believe.
I thought is was odd that the judge would release the contempt charges now instead of just waiting and releasing all the rulings at one time.
