Last month it was reported that actress Nia Long had been awarded $32,500.00 a month in child support after separating from her longtime domestic partner, Ime Udoka, amid a messy public cheating scandal [click here if you missed that].
Now Nia has also been awarded sole physical custody of their son...
From ETonline
Nia Long and her ex, Ime Udoka, have reached an agreement when it comes to their custody battle over their 12-year-old son, Kez.
According to court documents obtained by ET, Long will receive child support from Udoka in the amount of $32,500 per month. This figure is slightly about half as much as the court initially said she might be entitled to, but was what she and Udoka finally agreed upon.
Additionally, Long was granted sole physical custody of Kez, while Ime will be given reasonable visitation rights, as his schedule -- and Long's -- permits. According to the documents, Udoka has a "5 percent timeshare" with Kez, while Long will have the other 95 percent.
The documents state, "If the parties are unable to agree upon Udoka's visitation with Kez, they shall consult and work together with Kez's treating therapist to encourage the visits with Udoka, and the therapist will inform the parties of what is best for Kez. The parties shall work together to facilitate Udoka's visitation."
Meanwhile, the pair will still share joint legal custody and thus "shall share the right and responsibility to make decisions relating to Kez's health, education, and welfare."
"Long and Udoka shall confer with each other before making such decisions and confirm their decisions in writing. If the parties are unable to agree, then Long shall have the authority to make the decision for Kez provided Long has given Udoka 24 hours' advance written notice that she is making the decision," the documents explain.
