Ime Udoka: Nigerian coach in battle with American actress Nia Long who wants full custody of their son

Following Ime Udoka's scandalous infidelity case, American actress Nia Long is requesting full custody of her 11-year-old kid with the Nigerian NBA coach.

The actress wants a Los Angeles County Court to grant her sole physical and legal custody of her child, Kez, and to grant Udoka visitation, according to allegations from the Shade Room.

Given that the former couple was never married, Samantha Spector, a well-known attorney, filed a petition to "determine a parental relationship" in the court case.

In addition, the experienced actress is requesting that Udoka cover all legal costs associated with the case.

This is only the beginning as child support of some kind will be contested in the custody dispute.

The break-up made headlines because Udoka was fired from the Boston Celtics for allegedly breaking the team's code of conduct.

According to the Celtics,  by reportedly having an "intimate and conceptual relationship with a female member of the Celtic's staff."

Ime at the time apologized in a statement for disappointing his family and team.

Udoka's infidelity devastated their son, according to Nia Long, who recently spoke out about it.

Ime Udoka will probably spend a lot of time in Texas as the new head coach of the Houston Rockets.

The court is more likely to award Nia custody of their son and mandate that he have visitation if his stay in Texas is indefinite.

Udoka has not yet responded to the legal complaint but has been seen on the Houston Rockets' official social media pages.
