The tragic jet ski accident that left Tameka Foster’s son and Usher’s stepson Kyle Glover brain dead has led to some changes in the pair’s child custody settlement, in which Usher proposes to give ex-wife Foster primary custody of their sons Usher V, 4, and Naviyd, 3.
Upon hearing the news of the accident, the singer charitably chartered a plane for Foster to be able to get to her son’s side and cancelled appearances for him to do the same.
Usher’s settlement initially requested for Foster to settle, while slightly increasing his child support, but she turned down his request. As TMZ reports, sources say Usher has thought about the proposal and re-drafted another to suggest that Foster have “majority” custody of the children while he increases child support “significantly.” Reportedly, the proposal has not yet been reviewed by Foster.
In updated news regarding 11-year-old Kyle Glover, TMZ reports that the family’s insurance coverage is reaching its limit, and life support may have to be pulled as early as next month. But the gossip site goes on to say “coverage will run for ‘a couple months … tops,'” according to a source.
Keeping the family in our thoughts and prayers…
It’s been an emotional rollercoaster for Usher and his ex-wife, Tameka Foster Raymond. After a bitter custody battle over the singer’s two sons, it looks like things might be working out in the end. Usher has recently made some changes to their settlement that could mean his stepson Kile Glover may soon come off life support. This is a heartwarming story of how two parents can put aside differences for the greater good.
Tensions between Usher and Tameka Foster Raymond began with their highly publicized divorce back in 2009. The former couple was unable to reach an agreement regarding custody of their two children until 2012 when a court order granted each parent joint legal and physical custody of the boys. But tragedy struck last year when 11-year-old Kile Glover – foster son from Tameka’s previous marriage – was involved in a near fatal jet ski accident while visiting Lake Lanier with friends and family members. He had been on life support ever since.
As news of this heartbreaking situation spread, both former spouses worked together to make sure Kile got all necessary medical care he needed. In a recent turn of events, Usher agreed to ease up on certain aspects of their current child custody arrangement which would allow him more time with the boys so they could spend time with Kile before doctors decide whether or not he remains on life support. It seems that putting children first was paramount here – no matter what happened between these two adults in past years!
Background Of The Case
The case involving Usher Raymond and his ex-wife, Tameka Foster has been a long drawn out legal process. The couple have been engaged in a bitter custody battle since they divorced in 2009. Recently, the dispute took an even more tragic turn when their 11-year-old stepson, Kile Glover was critically injured in a jet ski accident on July 6th 2012. Since then, he has been on life support at an Atlanta hospital.
Usher had initially sought full custody of both of his sons but now it appears that the singer is attempting to settle the matter through mediation rather than taking it to court. He also recently made amendments to his initial petition for custodial rights by removing certain language from the document which had requested that Foster not be given any visitation rights or contact with her sons. It’s believed that this move may signal a change of tune from Usher as he looks to come to some kind of agreement regarding his son’s care while still maintaining access to him himself.
Although this could be seen as a positive development, sadly little Kile remains hospitalized and doctors are yet to give any indication as to whether or not he will recover enough for them to take him off life support systems. As such, there is still much uncertainty surrounding the situation and what lies ahead for all involved.
Latest Developments
In recent weeks, Usher has softened his stance on the custody arrangement and appears to be working towards a resolution. He reportedly met with Foster’s legal team in an effort to settle the matter outside of court. This suggests that he may now be willing to consider allowing Foster some access to their son, if and when Kile is taken off life support systems.
Although it had seemed as though a bitter battle was brewing between the former couple, both parties appear keen to reach a compromise regarding the care of their son. It’s been reported that Usher is open to forming a joint-custody agreement which would see him retain primary custodial rights but also grant visitation rights and contact time for Foster too. Such an amicable outcome would certainly be welcomed by all involved at this difficult time.
It remains unclear whether or not Kile will recover from his injuries; however what is certain is that regardless of any settlement reached, both parents are deeply committed to providing whatever help they can during this challenging period.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this case is an example of how a family can come together in times of crisis. Despite the initial disagreement between Usher and Tameka Foster Raymond over custody rights for their son, Kile Glover, both parties have been able to put aside their differences and work together to make decisions that are best for Kile’s welfare. After months on life support following his near-drowning accident, Kile may be taken off life support thanks to the agreement reached by Usher and Tameka. This demonstrates that when individuals are willing to look beyond their own interests and think about those of the entire family unit, even difficult situations can be resolved. It also serves as a reminder that families should always stick together during hard times – no matter what disagreements arise along the way.
