Custody Battles

Halle Berry has reached a breaking point in her never-ending custody battle with ex-husband Olivier Martinez ... she says their 10-year-old is suffering in a big way because of the conflict and she now wants sole legal custody.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Halle claims Olivier's "turbulent and detrimental behavior" has seriously impacted their 10-year-old son Maceo. She gets very specific in the docs, essentially saying the boy has serious behavior and learning problems that Olivier refuses to address.

Halle says Olivier has been a big obstacle in getting Maceo help, prioritizing soccer over school ... and the child has now fallen behind. She claims Olivier has refused to get his son a tutor because it would interfere with soccer practice.

Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert appear to be on the cusp of settling their nasty divorce ... but they're up against a tight deadline, and the clock is ticking.

The judge overseeing Teyana and Iman's divorce is giving them until June 27 to submit their divorce settlement in writing ... this according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Teyana and Iman were in court Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week, hashing out a bunch of issues they've been fighting about ... and now the judge wants them to put that all into writing and hammer out a judgment he can sign off on once and for all.

Jeezy and Jeannie Mai's divorce is in the books -- 'cause they've come to a settlement ... and they're going out of their way to keep the details under wraps.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, the two exes -- who've been squabbling A LOT lately over child custody, claims of abuse and other ugly tidbits -- have settled their divorce ... and not just that, they've filed to wrap up the whole thing under seal so the details won't be public.

Of course, there was a ton of back and forth over the past few months -- with Jeezy alleging Jeannie was keeping their daughter from him and making his parenting time with their kid incredibly difficult ... and JM fired back, suggesting Jeezy kept guns around in a way that wasn't safe with a child around ... and also made big DV claims against him.

Christine Quinn's husband has been formally charged over domestic violence incidents from back in March ... but TMZ has learned he's actually avoided felony charges.

The Los Angeles City Attorney's office tells us ... Christian Dumontet has been charged with three misdemeanors -- including child abuse/endangerment, assault, and violation of a protection order.

We're told the case was handed over to the City Attorney after the Los Angeles County D.A. concluded the case did not meet felony filing requirements -- but it was right up the City Attorney's alley, 'cause they're pursuing criminal charges.

Los Angeles Lakers big man Christian Wood's ex, Yasmine Lopez, is accusing him of brutally attacking her in a physical encounter earlier this month, TMZ Sports has learned ... but his circle is adamant she's making the whole thing up in retaliation.

Wood was recently granted a three-year restraining order and sole custody of their 10-month-old son ... after he accused Lopez of abusing and stalking him, damaging his property (including two luxury vehicles) on multiple occasions, and keeping their child from him.

The social media influencer filed for a domestic violence restraining order of her own this week ... accusing the 28-year-old pro of grabbing her by the legs and dragging her -- with their child present -- on May 2.

7:16 AM PT -- Joe's rep tells TMZ, "The filing was a legal formality, and the couple continues to negotiate an amicable resolution."

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have failed to hash out a settlement in their divorce, so now she's filed legal docs asking the judge to lay down the law and end the marriage.

Sophie's docs, obtained by TMZ, ask to "reactivate" the divorce proceedings, which were put on hold as the former couple went to mediation to work out a property and child custody settlement.

Apparently, those discussions broke down, so she's asking the judge to hear the case and impose a court-ordered settlement.

They went to mediation in part to keep their disputes private ... but that won't be the case now that she's asked to have a judge take it on ... all the filings -- outlining their disputes -- will now be public.

As we reported, Joe and Sophie had significant disagreements on where the children would live full-time ... she wanted to take them to the UK -- Joe wanted to keep them in the U.S. It got so bad, Sophie filed legal docs involving a child abduction law, but she dropped it.

It seems they're still at loggerheads over custody. They had a prenup, so property is probably not a big issue.

Joe and Sophie reached a temporary child custody arrangement, but it seems they've been unable to hash out a permanent one.

Both Joe and Sophie have moved on romantically ... he's with Stormi Bree, she's with Perry Pearson.

So it's game on ... again.

Nia Long just got what she wanted in her custody battle with Ime Udoka -- a judge made it so she'll get monthly support ... plus, a majority of the parenting time for their child.

The actress and NBA coach -- who split up in 2022 amid claims of infidelity -- came to terms in court Monday ... with a judge signing off on a custody agreement that hashes out who's paying who, and who their son will live with/spend most of his time with.

Per the docs, obtained by TMZ, it's actually Nia who'll be receiving monthly child support -- and even though the court said she might be entitled to upwards of $56k ... the 2 parents ended up landing on about half of that, with Ime agreeing to pay her $32,500/month.

The couple went through their financials -- as did the court -- and found Ime makes way more money coaching the Houston Rockets right now than Nia does ... noting he's got more than $400k in net monthly disposable income, whereas she's only got about $20k.

Now, in terms of custody ... they'll continue to share joint legal custody -- but Nia will get sole physical custody with reasonable visitation for Ime as time and scheduling permits.

They note in their docs that Ime is constantly traveling with the team, and this arrangement works better for everyone. Everything else pertaining to their kid, Kez, is pretty even-Steven.

Remember, Nia had filed for pretty much exactly this situation back in August -- and earlier this month, she and Ime had come to these exact terms in a settlement. Now, she's got it all in writing with a stamp of approval ... with the court entering the judgment, making it official.

Keke Palmer is holding on tight to her son after getting temporary sole custody of him amid her legal fight with her baby daddy -- this, of course, after accusing him of DV.

The actress appeared to be on set Saturday afternoon in West Hollywood, where two notable things happened -- one, she was photographed carrying her nearly 9-month-old, Leo, while in costume ... and was smiling from ear to ear, while even firing off a selfie of the 2 of them.

There was a woman nearby, whom Keke eventually handed Leo over to -- presumably a nanny of some sort -- while she went back to work. Like we said, KP is beaming here.

The other standout moment from this time on the job ... she received an intricate bouquet of flowers from somebody, courtesy of a local business called La Fleu Eclose ... and this particular arrangement is one of their pricier items for sale -- it's called "My Queen."

The bouquet comes with a crap ton of roses -- between 50 to 100 -- and a nice little crown ornament on top to boot. There was a card attached that Keke was seen reading ... and she looked to be a bit emotional as she went through it. No word on who it was from.

This is the first time we're seeing Keke out in public since her bomb allegations this past week -- namely, claiming Darius Jackson had abused her on and off for well over a year ... including an alleged incident she says happened as recently as last weekend.

Keke also uploaded a bunch of still images taken from in-home security footage that she claims shows Darius roughing her up on a handful of occasions, dating back to 02/2022.

She said she feared for her safety, and as a result was granted a temporary restraining order against Darius. Keke was also granted temporary sole custody of their kid ... a separate filing that came shortly before her TRO hit the court system.

Darius has remained mostly mum through all this ... not having officially acknowledged her claims, other than to say he loves his son and that he'll "see you soon." A hearing to sort all this out is scheduled for early December ... where he'll presumably get a chance to respond.

Keke and Darius had Leo in February ... and had been a couple for a good while before that. He's not famous at all -- but has drawn attention to himself and their relationship.

Ethan Slater is keepin' it quiet on his love life with Ariana Grande ... refusing to spill any relationship tea while stepping out of court after a divorce hearing.

The actor/singer was leaving a New York courtroom Friday following an appointment to handle the ongoing divorce and custody proceedings with his estranged wife, Lilly Jay.

Ethan didn't wanna chat, even when asked about Ariana. We also touched on his plans for co-parenting once his divorce is finalized, but all he gave was a smirk.

TMZ broke the story, Ethan and Ariana were spotted together last week on a date night in NYC, grabbing a a private table in the heart of Manhattan. Witnesses told us they were definitely flirty and touchy-feely during the night out.

They also took to Disney World last month, getting a VIP tour ... so their relationship certainly hasn't turned sour.

Remember, Ethan filed for divorce from Lilly in July, and sources told us Ethan "desperately" wants to co-parent their infant son.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have struck a deal in their divorce case -- and it sounds like they're both on the same page.

As we reported, Joe and Sophie were hashing out the terms of their divorce during 4 days of mediation last week.

There is a prenup, so it looks like assets were not a big issue. The bigger issue, of course, was child custody. Sophie wanted the kids to live with her in the UK, and Joe wanted them to stay with him in the U.S.

According to settlement docs, obtained by TMZ, "an amicable resolution on all issues between them is forthcoming." Translation -- they're super close to signing a settlement.

In the meantime, they have agreed to a temporary child custody agreement. Under the terms, the 2 kids -- ages 1 and 3 -- will be with Sophie from October 9 through October 21. During that time, she's allowed to travel with them to the UK.

On October 21, Sophie must return with the kids to the U.S., where Joe will then take them through November 2.

The kids will then go back to Sophie until November 22. Joe gets them on that day and will presumably spend Thanksgiving with them.

The kids go back to mom on December 16, where they will stay until January 7. So she gets them for XMAS and New Year's.

Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner han llegado a un acuerdo en su caso de divorcio, y parece que ambos están en la misma sintonía.

Como informamos, Joe y Sophie estuvieron negociando los términos de su divorcio durante tres días de mediación la semana pasada.

Hay un acuerdo prenupcial, por lo que al parecer los activos no eran un gran problema. El mayor desafío, por supuesto, era la custodia de sus hijas. Sophie quería que las niñas vivieran con ella en el Reino Unido y Joe que se quedaran con él en Estados Unidos

Según los documentos del acuerdo obtenidos por TMZ, "se está llegando a una resolución amistosa entre ellos en todos los asuntos", es decir, están muy cerca de firmar un acuerdo.

Mientras tanto, han acordado un acuerdo temporal para la custodia de sus hijas. Bajo estos términos, las niñas -de 1 y 3 años- estarán con Sophie desde el 9 hasta el 21 de octubre. Durante ese tiempo, se le permitirá viajar al Reino Unido

El 21 de octubre, Sophie debe regresar con las niñas a Estados Unidos, donde Joe se las llevará hasta el 2 de noviembre.

Luego volverán con Sophie hasta el 22 de noviembre, y Joe las recibirá el 22 para presumiblemente pasar Acción de Gracias con ellas.

Las niñas vuelven con mamá el 16 de diciembre, donde se quedarán hasta el 7 de enero. Así que ella las tendrá para Navidad y Año Nuevo.

Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner parecen estar progresando en su amarga disputa por la custodia de los hijos. Al parecer han llegado a un acuerdo sobre un tiempo compartido.

El miembro de los Jonas Brothers pasó la mañana del lunes con sus dos hijas por un parque de Nueva York antes de dejarlas con su esposa separada.

Como se puede ver, Joe era todo sonrisas al salir de la casa de Taylor Swift, que es donde Sophie se está quedando mientras ella está en la Gran Manzana.

Todo parece señalar que Joe y Sophie llegaron a un acuerdo sobre la custodia de los hijos. Como informamos por primera vez, la ex pareja está en plena mediación para resolver su divorcio.

Joe y Sophie han pasado mucho tiempo este mes tratando de llegar a un acuerdo de divorcio, recordemos que tienen un acuerdo prenupcial y una de las disposiciones es que van a la mediación para resolver todas las cuestiones pendientes relacionadas con su divorcio.

Nos informan que ambos están de acuerdo con la custodia compartida siempre que puedan ponerse de acuerdo sobre la estructura. Todo parece marchar de la manera más civilizada imaginable.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner appear to be making progress in their bitter child custody dispute ... because it looks like they've come to an agreement on a time-share with the kids.

The Jonas Brothers member spent Monday morning with his two daughters at a park in New York City before dropping them off with his estranged wife.

As you can see, Joe was all smiles as he left Taylor Swift's place ... that's where Sophie is staying while she's in the Big Apple.

The handoff makes it seem like Joe and Sophie hammered out an agreement on child custody ... as we first reported, the former couple is deep in mediation to settle their nasty divorce.

Joe and Sophie have been spending a lot of time this month trying to reach a divorce settlement ... remember, they have a prenup and one of the provisions is that they go to mediation to settle all outstanding issues related to their divorce.

As we reported ... we've been told they are both cool with joint custody, provided they can agree on a structure, and this makes it look like they've done just that.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have been embroiled in a bitter, child custody dispute, but they have been spending hours together over the last 2 days trying to hammer out a divorce settlement ... multiple sources tell TMZ.

As TMZ reported, Joe and Sophie have a prenup, and one of the provisions is that they go to mediation to settle all outstanding issues related to their divorce ... this according to multiple Joe/Sophie sources.

Joe and Sophie spent a full day Wednesday hashing out divorce issues, and we're told they are dealing with a property settlement guided by the prenup, as well as child custody.

As you know, there's a jurisdictional dogfight going on over which judge will handle the case -- a Miami judge, which is what Joe wants, or a UK judge, which is Sophie's choice.

Sophie has filed legal docs in federal court trying to get the case removed to the UK. Although there's an active legal dispute over jurisdiction, our sources say they are trying to reach an agreement on both which judge handles the case and what the custody arrangement should look like.

It appears Sophie wants to live in the UK with the kids and Joe wants them to stay put in the U.S., but they are trying to reach some sort of custody agreement that would make jurisdiction essentially irrelevant.

We're told they're both down with joint custody, and if they can agree on a structure -- for example, the kids stay with one parent during the school year and the other parent during the summer with both parents getting visitation -- they would probably just ask the Florida judge to ratify it.

The good news ... since they're in mediation, which continues on Thursday, it appears neither Joe nor Sophie are challenging the prenup.

Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner han estado envueltos en una amarga disputa por la custodia de sus hijas, pero han estado pasando horas juntos en los últimos dos días para tratar de llegar a un acuerdo de divorcio, según cuentan múltiples fuentes a TMZ.

Como TMZ informó, Joe y Sophie tienen un acuerdo prenupcial y una de las disposiciones es que deben ir a mediación para resolver todos los asuntos pendientes relacionados con su divorcio, esto de acuerdo a múltiples fuentes de Joe y Sophie.

Joe y Sophie estuvieron todo el día miércoles resolviendo cuestiones de divorcio y nos dicen que están lidiando con un acuerdo de propiedad, guiada por el acuerdo prenupcial, así como con la custodia de sus hijas.

Como ustedes saben, hay una pelea de perros sobre qué juez debiese encargarse del caso, si uno de Miami, como quiere Joe, o uno del Reino Unido, como quiere Sophie.

Sophie presentó documentos legales en el tribunal federal par tratar de conseguir que el caso sea trasladado al Reino Unido. Aunque hay una disputa legal activa sobre la jurisdicción, nuestras fuentes dicen que están tratando de llegar a un acuerdo al respecto así cómo debiese ser la resolución de la custodia.

Al parecer, Sophie quiere vivir en el Reino Unido con las niñas y Joe quiere que se queden en Estados Unidos, pero están tratando de llegar a algún tipo de acuerdo de custodia que haría esencialmente irrelevante dónde sea la jurisdicción.

Nos dicen que ambos quieren la custodia compartida y si pueden ponerse de acuerdo sobre una estructura, por ejemplo, que las niñas se queden con uno de los padres durante el año escolar y el otro padre durante el verano, con ambos padres teniendo la posibilidad de visitarlas, probablemente solo le pedirían al juez de Florida que ratifique el acuerdo.

La buena noticia es que como ya están en mediación, la que continúa el jueves, parece que ni Joe ni Sophie están desafiando el acuerdo prenupcial.
