Comedian Chris Rock is seeking joint legal and physical
custody of his two daughters with his estranged wife after accusing his ex of
limiting his visitation following their recent split.
The Grown Ups star filed for divorce to end his marriage to
Malaak Compton-Rock in a New Jersey court last week (23Dec14), two days before
Christmas (25Dec14).
The split news only became public on Sunday (28Dec14), when
Rock's attorney, Robert S. Cohen, confirmed the reports, and now it's been
revealed the actor is already fighting with Malaak over access to their kids,
12-year-old Lola and 10-year-old Zahra.
According to court documents obtained by Tmz.com, Rock claims
Malaak has been preventing him from seeing their girls on a regular basis,
prompting him to request joint custody.
The papers go on to reveal the couple began sorting through
the division of property in November (14) as it prepared to formally end its
marriage, while Rock also admitted a prenuptial agreement signed before their
November, 1996 union had expired as they had been together for just over 18
years.
However, Rock notes
his ex has the "ability to work and contribute to her own support", suggesting
he is seeking reduced spousal support payments.
