Whitney Houston wins custody of Bobbi Kristina

In a court decision yesterday, rulings came down that Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown‘s divorce will be final on April 24th, with Whitney being awarded primary custody of their daughter Bobbi Kristina, 14. During the court proceedings, Whitney tearfully told the judge,

[Bobby's] unreliable. If he says he’s going to come, sometimes he does. Usually hedoesn’t.

Unfortunately, unreliability on Bobby’s part seems to be true – in February, Bobby was arrested for failure to pay $11,000 worth of child support for his other children, and spent three nights in jail.

I am so happy to hear this! I really want things to work out for Whitney, and I believe they can! I hope that she and Bobbi Kristina can be happy now and that they don’t get sucked back in to Bobby’s lifestyle. I know Whitney made some bad choices, but she’s gone to rehab more than once to try to kick this, and she’s back in the studio making a valid effort to get her career back on track. Whitney, your journey has been a tumultuous one, but I think you’re finally heading in the right direction! Congratulations!
