Post Malone enjoys a legal victory in complicated child custody case with ex-fiancee Jamie Park

Post Malone’s ex-fiancée Hee Sung ‘Jamie’ Park filed to dismiss their child custody case in Los Angeles this week.
The dismissal is considered a win for Post as California allows for higher payments for child support, but their legal battle is still ongoing.
The rapper-turned-country star, 30, and Hee Sung welcomed their daughter in 2022.
The couple split in November 2024 after their daughter turned two with Post and Park filing custody petitions in the states of Utah and California, respectively.
This comes just weeks after his split from his girlfriend Christy Lee following their whirlwind romance on the heels of his baby mama breakup.

The custody battle will continue in Utah, where Post filed because that is where he had been splitting 50/50 custody with his ex as a hands-on dad, per TMZ.
That’s where Park had been living before she moved to California at the beginning of the year.
The latest update comes a little over two months since the musician submitted an emotional declaration in court in an effort to convince a Los Angeles judge to throw out his ex’s custody lawsuit in California.
In Park’s original filing, she originally asked for joint legal custody and visitation for the rapper but she wanted primary physical custody.
Back in May, the Grammy-nominated artist, whose weight loss has been a topic of discussion among fans, filed for her case to be tossed when he told the court the child’s mother only filed in Los Angeles for perceived strategic advantages among the court battle.
His attorney Laura Wasser pointed out to the court that the female child already has a number of essential ties to Utah.
They include her nanny, pediatrician, as well as classes she’s been enrolled in for music, physical education and swimming, the attorney told the court in legal docs.
In Park’s legal documents, submitted last month to the Los Angeles Superior Court’s family law division, she refers to her and Post’s daughter simply as DDP.

The two-year-old’s mother filed for full physical custody, but she only requested joint legal custody and is also open to giving Post visitation rights, aka ‘parenting time.’
Park, who reportedly split from Post near the end of 2024, alleged in her new legal documents that DDP has lived with her since November, via TMZ.
Her court filing, in which she demands that her ex cover her legal costs, also revealed that their daughter was born in May 2022.
As for child support, she said: ‘The court may make orders for support of the children and issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party.’
Post reportedly recently submitted sealed custody documents of his own in Utah, where he keeps his primary residence, but he has yet to give a response to Park’s new filing.
