After months of back-and-forth in the public eye, Tyga and Angela White (previously Blac Chyna) have come to an agreement about the custody of their sole child together.
The custody battle between the ex-couple and King Cairo, age 11, has finally been resolved, according to TMZ, which broke on Friday, December 8. The rapper will not be paying child support, but despite this, the two have managed to come to a “amicable arrangement,” according to inside sources who spoke with the magazine.
The son’s parents, who were together from 2011 to 2014, will have equal control over his health, education, and general welfare in addition to joint legal and physical custody. Tyga will spend Tuesday through Thursday looking after Cairo, while his ex will get the rest of the week to himself.
In addition, the court ordered them to enroll in a program that will monitor their shared parenting decisions, and neither of them is permitted to disparage the other while they are with the child.
The custody dispute between Tyga and White has been going on for a while. But the reality star recently asserted that if the two had just sat down to talk, the issue might have been settled long ago.
In an appearance on The Viall Files in late October, she disclosed that although she had first been granted full custody of Cairo, things changed as her life got increasingly busy.
“I raised Kingy from Monday through Friday for his first four years of life,” she recalled. “And that’s when I found out I was pregnant with Dream,” the woman’s daughter by Robert Kardashian Jr. And it was just too much for me to handle—the school, the pregnancy, and the new romance. That’s when our timetables were altered.
“It’s obvious that you [Tyga] have more money than I do,” she said. Why can’t we just have a conversation with you and resolve this matter without going to court? I now have to appear in court because he refused to do that. Simply put, neither of us needs this. “Man, we could’ve just had a conversation,” everyone is saying as they watch.
Earlier in the month, Tyga submitted paperwork requesting that White not share custody but rather have a “reasonable right of parenting time (visitation) to the party without physical custody.” The Last Kings rapper stated that in order to transport the kids outside of California, he needed “written permission from the other parent or party, or a court order.”
The action was taken in response to a petition that White had filed in August asking for shared custody of King in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. In addition, she submitted a child support petition, which has already been turned down.
