Jesse Williams and his ex-wife, Aryn Drake-Lee, have signed a revised child custody arrangement. According to court paperwork obtained by CNN, the former couple will continue to split legal custody of their children, Sadie and Maceo. Williams will have the last say on all such matters if the parents of COVID-19 children cannot agree on issues like vaccines within a year. The actor’s motion to adjust his custody schedule was allowed by Los Angeles County Superior Court judge so that it would not interfere with his performance in Take Me Out on Broadway.
The court ordered the Brooklyn’s Finest star to spend four weekends a month with his kids in New York. Drake-Lee was denied a reduction in Jesse’s custodial time, but the court did rule in her favour on her request that her ex is prevented from rescheduling any of their parenting time that had previously been cancelled without their joint written consent. Parental teams should get together to discuss extracurricular activities for their kids. If the parents disagree, Drake-Lee may utilise her tie-breaking power for each child’s curricular activity this year if it doesn’t interfere with Williams’ vacations or time with the kids in New York.

Timeline of Jesse Williams and Aryn’s Drake-Relationship Lee’s
While Jesse Williams was a high school history teacher in New York City, he and Aryn Drake-Lee crossed paths for the first time. They had a Los Angeles wedding on September 1st, 2012. Sadie was born to the former couple in December 2013, and Maceo Williams followed in October 2015. Then, in April 2017, at 40, he initiated divorce proceedings. The court then decided they should split legal custody of their children and ordered Williams to pay his ex $160,000. Half as an advance on spousal and child support and half as attorney expenses. The judge then ordered the Grey’s Anatomy actor to pay Drake-Lee $50,000 monthly in spousal maintenance and to split any residuals he made during their marriage.
Moreover, he was ordered to pay her legal and accounting costs. When a court awarded Williams shared physical custody of their children in March 2018, he pushed back against Drake-financial Lee’s request, saying he was already giving her a lot of money. They have been rivals for quite some time in the court. The parties agreed to share legal and physical custody of the children when their divorce was completed. Furthermore, they made a pact to check in before sharing any images of their children online.
