In a recent court ruling that adds a new twist to his ongoing custody battle, DJ Mustard, legally known as Dijon McFarlane, has been granted final say over educational decisions for his three children with ex-wife Chanel Thierry, at least until August 2026. This decision comes on the heels of allegations that Thierry made disparaging comments about Mustard on social media, violating prior court orders to keep negativity out of the kids’lives. It seems even in the world of fame and fortune, co-parenting can be a tough gig!
The court also mandated that both parents undergo high-conflict co-parenting therapy to help navigate future challenges. Mustard is tasked with providing Chanel a list of therapists to choose from, proving that when it comes to parenting, even top-tier DJs need a little extra guidance and teamwork. With custody arrangements like this unfolding, it’s clear that parenting—celebrity status notwithstanding—can have its own unique hurdles, rivaling the complexities of any hit record. Will this ruling help the co-parents find common ground, or will it add fuel to the fire?
