Deion Sanders Wants Pilar To Leave Him Alone & Give Him Back His Last Name

The award for messiest divorce goes to Deion and Pilar Sanders! This seems to get worse and worse as the days go by and I’m sure the children aren’t having the best time either. Just days after Pilar loses custody of her two sons, Deion and his lawyer speak exclusively with SR regarding the terms of custody and more.

On The Custody Battle

“It’s been a year and a half and I’m tired of it!” he said, referring to the child custody battle. “Leave us alone. Go away! Move on with your life!”

“I’ve always had custody of the children,” he added. “My kids are happy. This is the life they know. My kids know being with me all the time. This is why I was awarded [custody],” he said.

“This ain’t no game, babe, I’m totally serious about my children,” he said before putting his attorney on the phone.

 

Mr. Robertson explained that a jury of 9 women “Answered a couple of questions” regarding the custody of the children. “We did not ask for the jury trial, they did,” he said, meaning Pilar’s attorney. “The terms are very misunderstood.”

 

“Texas is one of only 2 states that even allow juries to answer questions on any aspects of family law cases,” said Robertson.

 

“Deion was given sole (primary) managing conservatorship of the boys, and that means he makes all decisions. And he was given exclusive right to determine Shelomi’s residence. The judge issued a ruling on Monday of this week that said that all 3 kids live with Deion because Deion has primary custody of all 3 of them,” said Robertson.

 

He added: “And the judge also set out what Pilar’s visitation rights are.”

On The Divorce Playing Out In The Media

“It’s been a year and a half and I’m tired of it!” he said, referring to the child custody battle. “Leave us alone. Go away! Move on with your life!”

“I’ve always had custody of the children,” he added. “My kids are happy. This is the life they know. My kids know being with me all the time. This is why I was awarded [custody],” he said.

On The Pre-Nup &  Pilar Relinquishing His Last Name

“I took care of business 14 years ago before we walked down the aisle,” he said referring to the iron-clad pre-nup.

 

“The truth of the matter is, when you have to take care of business before you walk down the aisle, you know something will go down eventually. That’s the truth of the matter. And then when a person asks for $100,000 before you get married, you gotta know what time it is. But you stupid enough, young and dumb and do it anyway.

 

“But I have 3 wonderful children,” he said. “The only thing left is the actual divorce itself,” he continued. “If I’m such a horrific and horrible guy, please relinquish my name,” he said. “Release my name.”

Deion is right about one thing, this definitely needs to find its way out of the media. Enough of the mudslinging, children are involved and they are old enough to know what is going on. Personally, I wonder how bad things had to be to get to this point after 14 years.
