Ever since finding out months ago that he was a father, Chris Brown has stepped up tremendously to be an active parent in his daughter Royalty’s life and has made a real effort to spend as much time with her as possible despite issues with his child’s mother Nia Guzman.
Well it looks like the hard work and dedication has paid off, he was awarded joint custody of Royalty, and was allowed to take her home today (September 11) according to TMZ.
Brown and Nia Guzman squared off in a Houston court Friday morning. She not only wanted to deny Chris any custodial rights, she also only wanted to give him supervised visitation.
The judge disagreed and now Chris and Nia will share 50/50 physical custody based on his ruling, with Royalty going back and fourth every 4 days. Both Chris and Nia now live in L.A.
TMZ is also reporting that Chris, who was in court represented by Mark Geragos, scored another victory. The judge ordered him to pay Nia $2,500 a month in child support, which is exactly what he’s been paying her. She wanted $15k.
The judge also ordered Nia not to talk crap on Chris and not reveal anything about the case on social media. Major wins for Chris!
