ATLANTA (CN) - R&B superstar singer Usher Raymond IV known as "Usher" is divorcing Tameka Foster Raymond, his wife of less than two years. According to the petition, filed in Fulton County Superior Court, the couple who married in August 2007, have been separated since July 2008. Raymond wants the parties to have joint legal and physical custody of their two minor children and states the marriage is "irretrievably broken," with "no reasonable hope of reconciliation."
The petition is accompanied by a request for the production of documents from Foster Raymond. Documents requested include tax returns filed from the date of the marriage, paycheck stubs, records of checking and savings accounts, automobile tag registration certificates, copies of bills from doctors, psychologists and hospitals, detective reports and other reports "arising from any surveillance or investigation of the activities of any alleged affairs of your spouse, which surveillance or investigation was performed on your behalf in connection with this action."
Raymond is represented by Ivory T. Brown
