Custody parameters have also been set.

Nia Long and Ime Udoka found themselves in the middle of a very harsh breakup recently. Overall, it all started when it was revealed that Udoka had an affair with a Celtics staffer. Subsequently, Udoka was let go by the Celtics, while Long broke up with the head coach. Since then, Udoka has gone on to become the head coach of the Houston Rockets. Meanwhile, Long has continued to raise their son Kez. Just a few months ago, she filed for custody, and this has led to a bit of a legal battle.

However, according to TMZ, a new development has come forth in the custody case. Firstly, Long will now have sole physical custody of Kez, however, Ime still has visitation rights. Due to his traveling schedule as an NBA head coach, this was a mutual decision. Secondly, due to the income disparity, Udoka will have to pay Long $32.5K per month. As the report explains, Udoka is making $400K per month. Meanwhile, Long is making $20K, which is why the child support is relatively high.

Things could have been worse for Udoka who was told he might have to pay a total of $56K per month. In the end, the two decided to bring that number down substantially. Either way, this brings about the end of a pretty messy breakup. This whole story was huge in the tabloids last year, and many were curious how it would all end. A year and a half later, we have our answer.
