Overview
- A court response filed Tuesday, obtained by TMZ and cited by Complex, includes a checked box that appears to award Tim Leissner primary legal and physical custody of the couple's 11-year-old son, Wolfe.
- Hours later TMZ reported that the custody checkbox was a clerical error and quoted an unnamed source saying Kimora has no plans to give Leissner primary custody, leaving the specific custody entry disputed.
- The filings also contain opposing financial claims: Leissner’s April petition sought joint custody and spousal support from Kimora, while her response asks the court to award her spousal support, bar support to him, and require him to pay her legal fees.
- Leissner began serving a federal sentence earlier this year after pleading guilty in the 1MDB case and is reported to remain incarcerated through September 2027, a fact that shapes the practical and public aspects of the custody fight.
- The paperwork and the later correction highlight procedural confusion in an active divorce that follows a long separation and earlier public disclosures about Leissner’s past legal admissions and the couple’s parental roles.
