The saga continues: Usher and Tameka divorced in 2009, but their custody battle is far from over
Chart-topping musician Usher's ex wife Tameka is asking her multi-millionaire ex-husband to pay '$50,000 to cover her attorney's fees' in the former couple's custody battle.
Tameka Raymond, who is seeking sole custody of the couple's two young sons, filed papers in the Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia this week, asking a judge to force Usher to pay $15,000 to cover her lawyer's fees, plus an additional $35,000 for other costs, according to TMZ.
The 40-year-old stylist claims she desperately needs the money as she seeks to end the couple's current custody agreement.
It's just the latest turn in Usher and Tameka's bitter divorce drama.
In December, she demanded that her ex-husband be tested for drug use.
Tameka was said to be worried that Usher was allegedly popping pills and using possibly other, more harmful substances, around their two children, four-year-old Usher Raymond V, and three-year-old Naviviyd Eli.

She also asked a judge to strip Usher of joint custody, citing a laundry list of reasons -including the fact that he had cancelled her Saks 5th Avenue credit card.
The two married in August of 2007, but split quickly after.
The Yeah singer filed for divorce in June 2009, citing irreconcilable differences and claiming to have lived separately from his wife for a year.
She rebutted his claims, saying that he had been living in her Atlanta home until March 2009.
The divorce was finalised on November 4, 2009.
