<p>In terms of custody of their four minor children, they were granted joint legal and physical custody.  With no formal custody agreement in place, they agreed to work together to determine a weekly schedule.  Additionally, neither were awarded to pay child support nor alimony, and both agreed to share expenses for their children.  But things have changed.</p>
<p>In a recent interview with The Shade Room, Melody revealed that she is in a custody battle with her ex.  “It’s interesting…we’ve been doing a week on week off since when I first left in 2020. Sometimes two weeks on and three weeks off, whatever.  We’ve been doing an exchange for a long time.  So, it’s very interesting, I will say.  We already have joint custody. [He’s looking for full custody],” she explained.</p>
<h2><strong>The two recently went on a family vacation together with their four children</strong></h2>
