Jesse Williams’ ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee is demanding primary custody of children
The ex-wife of actor Jesse Williams is requesting primary custody of the couple’s two children according to Radar Online. The co-parenting agreement between Williams and his ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee isn’t working, according to Drake-Lee. In court papers says Williams is failing to comply with the mutual arrangement that was agreed upon the pair.
Drake-Lee is looking to alter the joint custody agreement to give her primary control of the two children. She now wants Williams to have visitation going forward. The mother is asking that the court change the custody agreement to make Williams could have visitation on the first and third weekends of each month and the fifth weekend in months that have five weeks.
Drake-Lee is asking that Williams provide her with upcoming project schedules to have time to plan for proper arrangements. She says that he has not done so in the past, “which have resulted in increased inconsistency, longer absences, regular last-minute cancelations and other issues which are incredibly disruptive to our children’s lives.”
There are accusations that there have been substantial changes in circumstances since the two of them had signed the original custody deal. Drake-Lee blames Williams’s change in work schedule, his decision to fire their nanny and hire another set of providers, and the coronavirus pandemic for the reasons for changing the arrangement.
She is “requesting modification of the custody schedule and other provisions of the judgment to better reflect the new reality of our lives, and most importantly, properly, and positively address the needs of our children.”
The hearing on this matter is set for April. The actor filed for divorce in 2017 after being married for five years and being together for 13 years.
