Aaron Carter Files For Full Custody Of Infant Son After Alleged Domestic Assault

Singer Aaron Carter is now trying to get full custody of his son from ex Melanie Martin.

As The Blast reported on Friday, the “I Want Candy” singer headed to court and filed a petition for protection against his ex-fiancée. The domestic violence TRO was filed by Carter at the Antelope Valley Courthouse in LA County on February 23, the same day he announced their split on social media.

The nature of the filing also indicated that there was a minor child that needed protection. The Blast assumes this is the couple's newborn son, Prince, who was born in November 2021.

The Blast was able to exclusively confirm that Carter has petitioned the court for full custody of their infant son. The date of the alleged abuse was documented on February 23, 2022. Carter claims that no one else was there to witness the alleged abuse and admitted that Martin did not threaten him with a gun or other weapon.

In the documents, he claims that the abuse inflicted on him was "emotional distress, anguish, shoving, & scratching." He claims that, on this day, Martin was "verbally abusive, taunting, antagonizing, would not allow me to get any sleep all night long, shoving & scratching & attempted to push me over the banister over 2nd story staircase."

Specifically, he claims to have suffered injuries that included "scratching on back & thumb" as a direct result of her abusive behavior.

Additionally, he alleges that she was "Disprsing (sic) medication down the toilet, public online slander, emotionally abusing me by threatening to kill herself which cause me to worry for the safety of our child."

In the document, he claims that Martin repeated this abuse on a "weekly basis."

When asked why his three-month-old son needs protection, Carter claimed that his ex is "unstable mentally." He further alleges that she "causes fights in front of our son" and "she neglects him."

If the filing, he is asking the court to order her to stay 100 yards (300 feet) away from him, his family members and friends, his home, his workplace, his vehicle, his school, and his children's school or daycare.

Although he admitted in the documents that they live together in Lancaster, California, he asked the judge to require her to move out, stating that "It's my home & place of business." When asked why he wants control of the property, Carter responded "business safety." He then wrote something else, scratched it out, and wrote "safety for our son."

Carter is requested full "legal and physical" custody of his son. In the court documents, he claims that there is a risk of "child abduction" and expressed concern that Martin would take their son to another county in California, the state of Nevada, or the country of Bulgaria. In the document, Carter indicated that both Martin's mother and grandmother have ties to Bulgaria.

Carter added that he believes that Martin will take Prince away without his permission because she has violated or threatened to violate a custody or visitation order in the past, according to the documentation. He also claimed that she has recently sold or gotten rid of assets, which makes him concerned that she might take Prince away without his permission. He also claims that Martin has a history of domestic violence and is "not cooperating with me in parenting."

When asked to elaborate further, Carter wrote, "Domestic Violence. Threatened to leave with my son to Nevada & take him away to Bulgaria & I'll never see him again."

The day the document was filed, Carter posted a succinct tweet to his social media pages to announce the end of their relationship.

He tweeted, “My relationship has come to a point where we have to part ways. Please respect my privacy at this time. Thank you.”

“I have no intentions on being in any relationship anytime soon. I’m too scarred and I can’t trust any woman,” he added in a follow-up tweet. “So I’m going to protect my soul and my heart at this time.”

Melanie Martin has yet to respond to the restraining order or abuse allegations.
