I love “Housewives of Atlanta” just as much as the next person but boy do these ladies have thangs goin on in their lives!  I can totally understand why they would just go ahead and be on tv.

Lisa Wu Hartwell filed for primary custody of her two sons with ex-husband, R&B singer Keith Sweat.  Apparently, she is seeking “primary physical custody and joint legal custody with final decision-making on all issues regarding the minor children.” She will “reasonably engage Father in good faith discussions before any final decisions are made concerning the children?s welfare.” The two children are Jordan Sweat, age 14, and Justin Sweat, age 11.  If she does get custody, she requests child support as well.

In 2003, Sweat received primary custody of the children. According to the final divorce decree written by Fulton Superior Court judge Cynthia D. Wright, Sweat and Wu Hartwell married in 1992 and had the judge termed at the time an “extremely tumultuous relationship.” Wright wrote that “there is evidence that Father has been violent towards Mother, but no evidence he has ever been violent with any of his children.”

The judge felt the children at the time “lacked structure in their lives, due in substantial part to Mother’s numerous business ventures and frequent trips out of town … Mother has a history of spending money on herself excessively rather than providing for the children … There was some evidence at trial that Mother implicitly participated in robbing Father in the presence of the children. She also took money from Father prior to the initiation of this matter. This behavior causes the Court to question Mother’s maturity and judgment.”

Although Sweat, too, travels frequently, the decree said Sweat?s mom helped care for the children. “Father is capable of providing a stable, secure home environment for the boys where their care is not delegated to random third parties,” the judge wrote.

Talk about airing your dirty laundry…whoa.

Taping for the next season of Housewives of Atlanta is said to have started yesterday (Monday).  If she wins I guess the kids will be on the show if not, Keith Sweat has made it very clear that he doesn’t want the boys on the show which is why it seemed Lisa only had one child during season one.  We’ll stay tuned….
