Joumana And Jason Divorce Heating Up Again

At first Jason Kidd and his wife Joumana's divorce was real dirty, with each accusing the other of outrageous abuses. Then they made a truce to stop airing their dirty laundry in public and everything seemed civil between them. Not Anymore...
Joumana just filed new documents in a New Jersey Family Court, claiming Jason makes "little effort" to spend regular time with his three kids and rarely calls them. When he does see them, his girlfriend- identified only as "Hope Christine" -- is "present during virtually all" of the visits, including spleepovers. The children "desperately wish to have their father's undivided attention," Joumana claims. As a result, Joumana wants a Bergen County divorce judge to bar Kidd from having anyone with whom he is "romantically involved" around during overnight visits. She claims Jason "has a long history of serial infidelity with numerous women" and is "just plain oblivious" to the impact of his behavior on the kids. Joumana says she is "extremely concerned" that his "insatiable" and "well-documented need for immediate self-gratification and lack of self-control" is hurting the kids. Jason, who last week was accused of groping a woman in a Manhattan nightclub, is fighting Joumana's move to keep his girlfriend out of the mix. Joumana, he argues, is "so blinded by her own emotions" over his "new relationship" she wants to control "who I see and to whom I expose our children to." Joumana's papers name a schoolteacher, guidance counselor and therapist to whom T.J. reportedly "expressed his upset" over the sleepovers. At school, she says, staffers have reported that T.J. has said, "My dad is a good liar." BTW, did you see Joumana on the Salt and Pepa show sitting in on Salt's prayer circle advising Salt to get back on the stage?
