Tyga and Blac Chyna‘s custody battle has been going on for quite some time — but according to the reality star, it could have been solved a long time ago had they just sat down for a conversation.
On Thursday (October 26), Blac Chyna (real name Angela White) revealed on The Viall Files that it was she who initially had full custody of their son, King Cairo — but that things changed as her life became more hectic.

“For the first four years of Kingy’s life, I had him Monday through Friday,” she said. “And then that’s when I had became pregnant with Dream [her daughter with Robert Kardashian Jr.]. And it was like, the school and [being] pregnant and [in] a new relationship — it was a lot for me. So then that’s when our schedules had changed.”
She continued: “You have obviously more money than me. Why can’t we just settle this stuff outside of court, like [by] talking to you? He didn’t wanna do that, so now I have to go to court. We just both don’t need this. … The whole world’s watching, and it’s like, ‘We could’ve just had a conversation, man.’”

Earlier this month, Tyga filed documents claiming that he wants Chyna to have a “reasonable right of parenting time (visitation) to the party without physical custody,” instead of sharing custody.
As far as travel goes, the Last Kings rapper also wants to “have written permission from the other parent or party, or a court order, to take the children out of the state of California.”

The move is in response to Blac Chyna filing a petition in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in August, where she requested joint custody of King. She also filed a petition for child support.
“The court may make orders for support of the children and issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party,” read the child support request.
Tyga immediately responded publicly before he could take it to the courts, hitting the comments section of The Shade Room’s post about the filing, writing: “10 years later…nah, stick to your schedule sat-mon.”
In September, Blac Chyna served Pasionaye Nguyen — Tyga’s mother — with documents via a process server, alleging she couldn’t find her ex to deliver the documents accordingly.
Service via a third party is known as substituted service, and this type of service is acceptable in the California court system so long as the party doing the serving can demonstrate that they tried to serve the original party “at least three times,” and was unsuccessful in each attempt.

Whether or not he already planned to, this forced Tyga to respond to her paperwork – or he would have faced a potential default judgment against him.
