After lengthy and sometimes heated
court proceedings, Usher's divorce from Tameka Foster was finalized
Friday (August 24) and full custody of the former couple's children was
granted to the singer.
The judge awarded Usher primary custody of their two sons: Usher Raymond V, born in November of 2007, and Naviyd Ely Raymond, born in December of 2008
The details of Foster's access to or visitation rights of her children have not yet been released, but the ruling comes as somewhat of a surprise, given the emotionally charged accusations slung back and forth between Usher and Foster during the trial. Foster accused her ex of being too absorbed in his career to be a good father and that he had used drugs in the presence of his sons. She also said that she never wanted to enter the custody battle to begin with and was satisfied with their previously agreed upon "joint custody" arrangement.
