Bobby Brown's New Court Edition
Bobby Brown is taking every little step to be reunited with his daughter.
The former New Edition singer appeared in an Orange County courtroom Friday, where he sought to overturn a ruling granting his ex-wife Whitney Houston sole physical and legal custody of 14-year-old Bobbi Kristina.
In court documents filed last month and made public this week, Brown claims Houston "has attempted to eliminate me from Bobbi Kris' life" since they divorced and she gained custody of the child.
"I have not seen or spoken to my daughter since early June," he said in the filing, "and I have no prospect of speaking to her or seeing her anytime soon due to Whitney's actions."
Houston responded with a court declaration of her own, claiming that Brown had been "almost totally uninvolved in taking care of [Bobbi Kristina]."
The judge on Friday called for both Brown and Houston to give depositions illustrating their respective positions in the custody battle.
Brown is due to give his at the same Orange County courthouse where the hearing took place, but Houston will be permitted to tape hers, as she and Bobbi Kristina have moved to Atlanta where she's currently recording a comeback album.
The next court date in the case is scheduled for Oct. 22.
"I'm looking forward to my day in court, hopefully it will come," Brown said during Friday's hearing.
Houston did not appear in court and her lawyers did not comment on the judge's order.
