Norma and Tyrese Gibson’s Battle for Their Daughter’s Custody
As we mentioned earlier, Norma Gibson and her ex-husband Tyrese have been extensively involved in the custody battle of their daughter Shayla. They filed for divorce in October 2008 after less than a year of marriage and in early 2009, Norma filed a lawsuit at the Los Angeles court seeking modification of their custody arrangement and change in spousal and child support.
In the court documents, Norma said Tyrese was an absentee father who didn’t support her or their daughter Shayla.
She Got a Temporary Restraining Order Against Him
In 2017, Norma got a temporary restraining order against Tyrese that kept the actor away from both her and their daughter. Gibson was granted a restraining order against him after she accused him of abusing their daughter.
She alleged that her ex-spouse hit their daughter “12 to 16 times” leading the girl to tell her mother that she couldn’t sit due to the pain. Norma said that Shayla told her “Mum, Dad beat me so hard that it hurts when I sit down.”
However, Gibson later violated the order by hiring a plane to fly a banner over their daughter, Shayla’s school. Following the incident, Norma Mitchell Gibson filed a police report.

Meanwhile, Norma’s lawyer told People that Norma only wanted Tyrese to receive psychotherapy so that her daughter could have the relationship with her father she deserves.
On the other hand, the Fast and Furious star told People that the allegations were untrue and hurtful. He said it was disappointing to learn the mother of his child made “gross and false” accusations against him.
He added,
“There’s nothing I love more in this world than my daughter and I would never do anything to harm her well-being or happiness. Co-parenting is tough and it’s unfortunate when your partner tries to sabotage the situation with hurtful lies and irrational behavior.”
Meanwhile, in November 2017, the LA court gave Shayla’s custody to both her parents. Judge Shelley Kaufman reportedly said that she found no abuse going on against Shayla. As a matter of fact, Kaufman said the parents should return to shared custody of their baby girl from January 2018.

Meanwhile, TMZ reported that the Fast & Furious star was not denying to pay child support payments, but he was fighting her request to pay her lawyer’s fees. That said, the actor also asked his ex-wife to provide the receipts for $25 an hour in childcare costs.
