\n\tPost Malone is opposing an attempt by his ex to move their nearly three-year-old daughter permanently to California, saying in a new court filing that the child has lived in Utah most of her life and should remain a resident there.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe star (Austin Richard Post) filed a motion Monday (May 19) to dismiss the custody petition brought in Los Angeles court last month by his ex, Hee Sung \u201cJamie\u201d Park. Post and Park share a child, referred to anonymously in court filings as \u201cDDP,\u201d who was born in May 2022.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the motion, the family lived together in Utah until Post and Park ended their relationship this past November. Park then decided to relocate to Los Angeles, and Post says he agreed to share custody and move the child between California and Utah every two weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn April, however, Post says he learned that Park was planning to file for primary physical custody and change their daughter\u2019s residence to California. Park \u201crushed to enroll DDP in every type of activity she can\u201d in Los Angeles to demonstrate the child\u2019s residence there, Post claims, even though he says DDP\u2019s nanny and doctor are in Utah and she has long attended daycare, music classes and swimming lessons there.<\/p>\n

\n\tPost filed a paternity action in Utah on April 14 after learning of Park\u2019s plans, he says. Park then brought her California petition for primary custody two days later, and the singer alleges Park\u2019s petition \u201cintentionally misleads\u201d the Los Angeles judge by failing to mention that the child has lived in Utah nearly her whole life.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI do intend to work cooperatively with Jamie to ensure that DDP has frequent and equal custodial time with her mother,\u201d wrote Post in his declaration. \u201cI do not consent to Jamie\u2019s back door attempt to change DDP\u2019s residence from Utah to California. I request that the California court admonish Jamie for her lack of candor, gamesmanship in attempting to forum shop, and her intentional action to try to mislead the court about DDP\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPost wants the California custody petition dismissed. He says the former couple\u2019s dispute should be resolved in Utah, where he was the first to bring a custody action and where their daughter has spent nearly three years.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJamie\u2019s conduct of attempting to forum shop to change DDP\u2019s home state without Post\u2019s consent or a Utah court order should not be condoned by the California court,\u201d wrote Post\u2019s attorney, Laura Wasser<\/strong>. \u201cCalifornia law provides that, under the facts of this case, DDP\u2019s home state is Utah, and subject matter jurisdiction over her custody remains with the Utah court.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court is scheduled to consider Post\u2019s dismissal motion in late July. Park\u2019s attorney did not immediately return a request for comment Monday.<\/p>\n

\n\tPost is currently headlining his Big Ass Stadium Tour and is next scheduled to play U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Tuesday (May 20).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
