Safaree Wants Joint Custody in Divorce from Pregnant Erica Mena

Safaree is demanding joint legal custody in his divorce from Erica Mena, who is currently pregnant with their second child.

Per legal documents obtained by TMZ on Monday, the rapper responded to his estranged wife’s custody request, asking for joint legal custody of their kids, including 1-year-old daughter Safire.

Citing the interest of their children, the hip-hop artist is requesting consistent and uninterrupted parenting and visitation time.

While he is open to the model having exclusive use of the home they share, he wants to be removed from any liability involving the property through a refinancing of the mortgage. He also wants his share of equity from the property.

Safaree is asking to maintain exclusive possession of their individual vehicles, and to be allowed to maintain all personal property acquired during the marriage.

Additionally, he wants the court to deny Mena alimony and for them to determine any child support obligations.

Last month, Mena filed for divorce at Fayette County Superior Court in Georgia prior to the couple’s two-year anniversary.

Though she is asking for primary physical custody, TMZ reported at the time that she is willing to share joint legal custody with Safaree. She is also asking for child support.

After the two got married on October 7, 2019, they welcomed their daughter months later on February 2, 2020.

In February of this year, Safaree tweeted and deleted that getting married was one of the “BIGGEST mistakes” he has made in his life.

“I mean this from the bottom of my heart getting married was 1 of my BIGGEST mistakes and it will never happen again. I’m walking away before I End up in jail over some dumb ----. Nobody is worth my freedom!!!” he wrote at the time.

In response, Mena called him a “selfish, vain and inconsiderate” person to both her and their daughter.

“Since you always run to social media like a little girl I might as well join in. I absolutely agree with you on this. You are the most selfish, vain and inconsiderate person. And not just with me but your only daughter!” she wrote.

Shortly after this public drama, the “Love & Hip Hop” stars announced they are expecting their second child together.

While admitting that the two have had their ups and downs, Mena wrote and then deleted on her IG page, “Having a family of your very own makes up for it all.”

“God I thank you for the protection and all the consistent blessings,” she said at the time. “I been through way to [sic] much to not be as grateful as I truly am.”
