We hope everything works out for her!
Fantasia Barrino will be heading to court next year… all because of her baby daddy Brandel J. Shouse.
Her ex has recently filed for custody of their 13-year-old daughter, Zion, and it seems like a custody battle between these two is inevitable!
The filing of the suit happened in Meckleburg, North Carolina, but a trial is not expected to go down until 2015!
Here’s what the former American Idol star’s rep said in a statement:
“Fantasia Barrino is currently involved in a Child Custody, Visitation, and Child Support legal proceeding filed in Mecklenburg, North Carolina. The lawsuit was filed by Mr. Brandel J. Shouse, the father of Fantasia’s 13-year-old daughter Zion. Despite living in North Carolina, Mr. Shouse had very little personal contact with Zion and has provided no financial support for her. The case will not be heard until 2015. Fantasia is confident that legal process will move forward smoothly and that the Court will make a decision that is in the best interest of Zion.”
However don’t expect Fantasia to be giving up any details about how this court case progresses! The rep also said:
“Fantasia hopes that her fans understand the sensitive nature of these matters and that she cannot share with them all of the details at this time. Fantasia also knows that all of her ├óΓé¼╦£Baby Mama’ fans know exactly what she is going though and will support her as she continues to take wonderful and complete care of her daughter.”

We’re not sure what Mr. Shouse’s reasons were for filing for custody, but we’d be mighty curious to see if the judge sees this as a valid case or not!
But, hey, you never know!!!
