In a scenario that could easily be mistaken for a plot from reality TV, Mercedes ‘MJ’ Javid and her estranged husband, Tommy Feight, recently settled their custody agreement over their son, Shams. On December 18, they surprisingly entered mediation without an appointment and managed to craft a deal that the judge signed off on the same day. Now that’s some fast-moving drama—no need for a cliffhanger, right?
Javid, who filed for divorce back in October after seven years of marriage, aimed for primary custody, arguing she’s the one primarily involved in Shams’ day-to-day care. On the other hand, Feight pushed back, asserting his active participation as a father. He claimed to be hands-on with daily routines like school drop-offs and pickups. It’s clear their co-parenting negotiations reflect their wild ride through reality TV and home life—a mix that’s sure to keep fans guessing about their next move.
The speedy resolution might suggest the ex-couple is intent on keeping the best interests of their child at heart, which is a refreshing twist away from the usual reality show tensions. After all, when it comes to parenting, there’s no room for drama—unless it’s between the lines, right? What do you think; can they pull off the co-parenting thing without a glitch?
