Usher retained his children on Friday after a judge dismissed ex-wife Tameka Raymond’s emergency request for primary custody following the near drowning of the former couple’s five-year-old son earlier this week.
The two parents hugged after the emotional ruling (see video below).
A tearful Tameka had taken the stand to discuss little Usher Raymond V’s swimming pool accident, accusing his famous dad of being an inattentive father.
The performer’s legal team countered that the scary incident had nothing to do with Usher’s parental abilities and could have happened to anyone.
In the end, the judge sided with Usher and determined that he should retain full custody, calling this week’s drama an “awful accident,” but saying the evidence did not indicate that anyone could have handled the situation better than the “capable” aunt who was watching after the five-year-old at the pool.
He did warn Usher, “In the future you would be well advised to keep your former spouse informed about your whereabouts and who is taking care of the kids. That will be a feature perhaps in the case as this moves forward or the companion case.”
