As we reported earlier this morning, Tameka Raymond is battling back at her ex-husband Usher‘s intial request for custody of the pair’s two sons, which he filed for in January.
DETAILS: Usher And Tameka Raymond In Battle Over The Boys!
Tameka’s lawyer is now speaking out on her behalf, claiming that she is only fighting for the sake of their children, as Usher is trying to gain near full custody of the two children, taking them away from their mother.
Theybf.com has released the lawyer’s statement:
“Ms. Raymond desires nothing more than for Mr. Raymond to have a relationship and spend quality time with their two children as consistently as possible. She, however, has never been willing to sacrifice their children’s safety and welfare in her efforts to forge such a relationship and has vigorously fought to ensure the children are reared in a stable home environment.
Unfortunately, Ms. Raymond’s efforts have caused her to be subjected to repeated instances of retaliation by Mr. Raymond, most especially when she has expressed concerns over his lifestyle and its effects upon their children. Although Mr. Raymond’s actions of refusing to abide by the child support provisions and financial terms of the divorce decree are instances of his retaliation against Ms. Raymond, the most evident instance was the custody petition he filed in January 2011 after she refused to allow their 2- and 3-year-old children to accompany him on his tour to Germany and other parts of the world.”
The lawyer goes on to say that most of Usher’s petition was filled with lies:
Although media reports have failed to mention the fabricated claims in Mr. Raymond’s petition to which Ms. Raymond was responding, those who actually know them both know the truth. While Mr. Raymond has chosen to fight this battle in the public, Ms. Raymond’s interests lie in fighting only for the best interests of her children.
