Lisa Vs. Kieth Sweat


“Real Housewives of Atlanta” co-star Lisa Wu Hartwell filed for primary custody of her two sons with ex-husband and singer Keith Sweat. Last Thursday she petitioned the court to get full custody of her sons. According to the court papers:

“The best interest of the minor children will be served by modifying the current custody and visitation provisions to make Mother the primary physical condition of the minor children. Since the time of the Divorce Decree, Mother has remarried, owns a successful business and will provide a stable, loving, and nurturing environment in which she can raise the minor children. Wu is seeking primary physical custody and joint legal custody with final decision-making on all issues regarding the minor children. She will reasonably engage Keith in good faith discussions before any final decisions are made concerning the children’s welfare.”

Why was Keith given full custody? Well, according to the judge, the children at the time “lacked structure in their lives, due in substantial part to Mother’s numerous business ventures and frequent trips out of town”. The judge stated Lisa has a history of spending money on herself excessively rather than providing for the children. There was also evidence of violence against Lisa by Keith though.

Her two sons–Jordan Sweat, age 14, and Justin Sweat, age 11–were given to Keith Sweat in a full custody battle 6 years ago. Lisa says she wants them back, but even though she has a successful business and has remarried, she still wants child support as well. Surprise surprise.
