According to TMZ, Usher, who filed for divorce from Tameka in June 2009 after only two years of marriage, has been locked in an ongoing battle with his ex after she filed court documents in Georgia last year.
Tameka is asking for the singer to be stripped of joint physical custody of their sons Usher, four, and Naviyd, three, but a judge at Fulton County Court ordered they try to work things out between them.
The pair are set to face the court later today and if they have not agreed on terms amongst themselves, the judge will impose a temporary order.
He will also address child maintenance payments today. Tameka previously alleged Usher is behind on $34,000 worth of payments after promising her $5,000-a-month to pay for a nanny.
According to court documents, Tameka has also requested more child support, arguing there has been a “substantial change” in her former spouse’s income since they divorced.
As for now, the couple will continue to share custody of both kids.
