Chris Brown Asks for Joint Custody in Response to Ex’s Sole-Custody Bid

His June 6 court filing seeks equal legal and physical custody with each parent to cover their own legal fees, countering Diamond Brown’s earlier request for sole custody and court-ordered payment by him.

Overview

  • Diamond Brown filed for sole legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old daughter Lovely in May and asked the Los Angeles court to limit Chris Brown to visitation and to order him to pay case costs.
  • Chris Brown filed a response on June 6 seeking joint legal and physical custody and asking the court to require each parent to pay their own legal expenses.
  • The filings formalize a dispute that followed months of public social-media exchanges in which Diamond accused Brown of interfering in her relationships and Jada Wallace accused Diamond of limiting Brown’s access to Lovely.
  • Lovely Symphani Brown, born in 2022, is Brown’s third child and the custody fight comes as Brown and his partner Jada Wallace recently welcomed a baby boy in late April.
  • The custody matter remains pending in a Los Angeles court and the new filings set up a judge’s decision on custody allocation and who will bear legal costs.
