Dwight Howard is facing a custody case over his 6 year old son, filed by the mother of the child’s late mother.
According to documents obtained by The Blast, Edelmira, the mother of Howard’s ex girlfriend Melissa, filed the custody case in Los Angeles Superior Court. Melissa passed away earlier this year at her home in Calabasas. The Blast reports she worked as a real estate agent and was an advocate for epilepsy awareness.
Howard spoke publicly about the loss in recent weeks. He said it had been a difficult time in his personal life and that it was extremely hard to figure out how to talk to his young son about what happened. Howard and his son attended the funeral.
Melissa’s last social media post was a birthday message to her son, in which she called being his mother a blessing.
The Blast reports that Howard had not yet responded to the filing at the time of its report. Baller Alert will update this story if either side comments publicly.
