Judge rules in Usher’s favor after ex-wife’s motion
A Georgia judge dismissed an emergency motion filed by the ex-wife of singer Usher Raymond, who sought temporary custody of their son.
The judge ruled that although the 5-year-old was injured in a swimming pool accident, it was not an emergency requiring that Usher’s two children be taken away from him.
The child, Usher Raymond V, is still in the hospital, but recovering.
The judge instructed Usher to keep his ex-wife informed of the whereabouts of their children.
Usher’s ex-wife, Tameka Foster Raymond testified earlier that she does not trust the childcare of Raymond’s aunt, who was present when their son fell into the pool. She also stated that Usher does not keep her informed about who is taking care of their children.
Usher Raymond V is recovering from the swimming pool accident at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Hospital. A breathing tube inserted after the accident has since been removed.
