Wisconsin music fans may be interesting to learn that, on Aug. 3, it was reported that Chris Brown filed for joint custody of his daughter. This occurred after the mother of his 1-year-old child filed for full custody. If her request is granted, Brown would only be able to visit his daughter while being supervised.
Brown stated that he intended to be involved in the life of his child. In May, the mother of the child requested that the child support payments be increased. Brown then applied for his official paternity rights so that the child support dispute could be handled in court. Since then, the mother moved ahead and applied for full-time custody, arguing that Brown’s lifestyle was dangerous for the daughter.
Brown responded to the mother’s claims, stating that he responded to two home break-ins by increasing security. He also claimed that he had never done drugs around his daughter and that his friends were not welcome when he had his child in his care. He reportedly intended to seek joint custody once he established legal paternity.
Child custody disputes can become heated, especially if one parent wants full custody of the child. If an agreement regarding where the child will live and when the parent can visit cannot be agreed upon, the court will decide what is in the child’s best interest. A family law attorney can assist with the negotiations. If the parent is seeking visitation, the attorney can negotiate a schedule that allows the parent the ability to maintain a strong relationship with the child. The attorney can also help with the child support negotiations.
