Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton is asking a court for primary custody of the four children he shares with Kia Proctor, claiming she has blocked his access to them and has substance abuse issues.
In newly filed court documents reported by TMZ, Newton says the pair currently share joint custody. Proctor has not publicly responded to the claims, according to the report.
Newton’s claims about parenting
Newton alleges Proctor has refused to take the children to activities and has brought them to school late on several occasions. He also claims her substance abuse issues have occurred around the children.
The former Carolina Panthers star further alleges that Proctor has stopped him from seeing the children during her parenting time, sometimes for days at a time. He says she has also failed to encourage a relationship between the children and their half-siblings.
These are claims made in Newton’s court filing; they have not been established as facts in court.
He asks for primary custody
Newton is asking the court to grant him primary custody of the four children. The current arrangement is joint custody, and he pays about $7,500 a month in child support.
Proctor has yet to respond to Newton’s filing.
