Overview

  • A Los Angeles court granted Kyle Newman sole physical custody of his two sons, James (11) and Leo (9), citing Jaime King's non-compliance with court-ordered rehabilitation requirements.
  • King is allowed supervised visitation three times a week, with approved supervisors including family members and Newman's brother.
  • The court mandated King to complete a six-month drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, a 26-week parenting course, and counseling to address parenting concerns.
  • Newman retains tie-breaking authority on legal custody decisions, though legal custody is shared between the former spouses.
  • The custody battle, ongoing since their 2020 divorce filing, has been marked by allegations of substance abuse, neglect, and emotional abuse from both parties.
