Mel B's Custody Battle Over Daughter Madison Brown Belafonte

Madison Brown Belafonte's mother Mel B has been in a long-running custody battle with her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte over their daughter. The couple divorced in December 2018 after nearly 10 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Mel B requested joint legal and physical custody of Madison, but the courts ultimately awarded primary custody to Belafonte in 2017.

Mel B has been fighting to regain primary custody of Madison, claiming that she would thrive socially, emotionally, and academically if she lived with her and her sisters in the UK. However, the courts ruled that Mel B's work visa had expired and she was forced to move back to the UK, making it difficult for her to provide a stable home for Madison.

The custody battle between Mel B and Belafonte has been a long and difficult one, with the courts issuing a 45-page judgment that included a string of strict stipulations. The judgment reaffirmed that they keep joint custody of Madison, but also ordered that neither Mel nor Belafonte "shall harass, attack, strike, threaten, assault (sexually or otherwise), hit, follow, stalk, molest destroy property, disturb the peace, keep under surveillance (on the Internet, electronically or otherwise) or block the movements of the other party."

The judge also ordered that Mel must stay 200 yards away from Belafonte, while Belafonte has to keep 200 yards away from Mel and her daughter by comic Eddie Murphy, Angel, 11. Mel B's custody battle with Belafonte is a reminder of the difficulties that many celebrity couples have had with divorces and custody battles.
