Nia Long and Ime Udoka Settle Custody Battle


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...

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.

🤔 , why ask for full custody 🤔

Proven fact , boys need the fathers. Wouldn't it make more sense to go with 50/50 or 60/40............

This is the same story from two weeks ago, except she's been awarded full custody and no one should be surprised. Why did we need to know any of this? Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that since the world found out Ime cheated with his white co-worker, Nia is now photographing herself 3 shades lighter than her usual brown tone? I guess cheating really does a number on a women's self-esteem.

^^^You need to drop by your local community college and check out a class on photography. Nia's skin color in this picture is the result of the lighting.

When you live far away from the child's father you want full custody so you don't have to have a long distance debate during an emergency. You also don't want to argue over the day-to-day with someone who's not close enough to be involved.


to understand.

He has an inconsistent schedule.

1244 if he wanted more time with the child he could have fought it but he is OKAY with her having 95% and he just 5%. You can’t make him want to have more time with him

How is he supposed to have more custody when he's on the road most of the year?¹ He's an NBA coach. Think, people.

@2:12

The false narrative again - the father should have fought more.

1. The family courts are biased ...... would you play a game that you know is rigged for you to lose.

2. Why is the mother making a father fight to be with his kid. That should have been your question but I know , that is an uncomfortable question because it would highlight a an uncomfortable truth.

3:39 you must not have fought for your children and used the excuse you just outlined in no.1 of your comment. You wouldn’t have helped during Civil Rights & The Black Panther Movement, you believe since it’s rigged, you should just give up and sit on your hands. We’d still beFight for your child if you want more rights for them. I’d never sit back and not be in my kids life. No.2 the uncomfortable truth is you didn’t fight and blame the mother of your child/ren.

Lol , first of all. I didn't have to fight for my daughter , lol. Making those pesky assumptions and then avoiding those truths/facts.

Minimizing a rigged system and then ignoring the effect of that rigged system ....hmmmm

Again , why would a mother make a father fight for his child , especially a male child. When studies have show that a child , especially a male child needs their father in their life.

Come on, you know the answer as to why ........................... it's uncomfortable isn't it.

There is a difference between custody and visitation, people. He can see his son every weekend while she still has custody.

Why ask for full custody ............ there has to be a reason.

If it is because , she lives somewhere else. And is asking for a larger amount of child support than what was ultimately awarded. Wouldn't it make sense to live closer to the father , so custody could be split , which would give the mother more time to work and contribute to the support of the child.

Seems like a win win win to me.
1. The kid wins , gets to spend more time with both parents equally
2. The father wins , get to spend more time with the kid
3. The mother wins , she doesn't feel burdened by feeling like she has to take care of the child by herself

^^^What part of 'he travels for a living' don't you understand. Maybe you don't watch sports and don't know anything about an NBA team's schedule.

I don't know why we can't get it together as a species, evolution is obviously extremely slow, when it comes to the human species. I hope the aliens are more evolved than we are.

4:13 you aren’t with her Mother obviously. That’s why you’re triggered on this. That man doesn’t want full or partial custody. He only wants to be able to visit him, when he has time. He’s on a busy schedule on and of season. Unlike yourself whom most likely does not have to be away for months at a time. Also, depending on where you live, the courts favor the Father. Like in Georgia for instance. Why do you think Dwight Howard just go custody of his daughter, even though he’s mostly overseas now and a sexual deviant. Usher got his sons and Ludacris got his daughter. Guess what though they fought for their kids because they cared and did not fold because the game was rigged against them. They’re true Fathers who don’t make excuses. You pay child support don’t you, for your daughter?

712 thank you for your comment I agree! It’s like this website promotes the wrong things and attract the wrong people.

Tsk tsk tsk , again , making assumptions (by the way , all your assumptions are wrong)

Using unique examples to try to disprove the majority. And those unique examples are further outliers in that those men are in the top .001 of the US population.

Now , for the third or fourth time (I have lost count , lol)
Why would a mother ask for sole custody if it has been proven that a child , especially a male child does better when the father is involved in their life. If the well being of the child is paramount , why create obstacles to minimize the father. The big ones being time and space , and in this case , they are both wealthy enough to make it work ( they both have unique situations , what Ms. Long has never had to travel for a job , lol)

Pssst , psst , you think two same sex people getting together is sexual deviancy , hmmmm , okay

^^^^You still not understanding the difference between custody and visitation. She needs custody to make legal decisions about the kid's welfare because he's not always available. The visitation schedule can still be as often as they can work it out.

okay , She needs ............. got it Now I understand ,, thank you for enlightening me.

^^^This is a 12 year old school boy--not a toddler that you can drag across the country on a whim. He has a schedule to adher to. His mother needs to be able to make quick decisions for him without consulting the daddy all of the time. Udoka is satisfied with the deal. Why aren't you?

Firstly again , making assumptions ........


Secondly , I shared my opinion and asked a legitimate question. Now if you don't like the question or that implied uncomfortable answer , that is cool ....

Not that serious , I enjoy debating ......I enjoy talking about facts and truths ......... I enjoy challenging assumptions and emotional responses.

Why not walk away from the relationship rather than keep a home and cheat?
