Cam Newton is back in court over his four children with Kia Proctor, demanding primary custody — and saying that his ex’s “substance abuse issues” are a major factor in his decision.
A newly filed petition in Fulton County Superior Court sees Newton asking for primary custody and final decision-making authority.
Newton claims in the petition that Proctor’s substance abuse has played out around the children, and that she has repeatedly gotten them to school late.
He further claims Proctor has cut off his access to the kids for days at a time during her parenting weeks. He says she has refused to help them build relationships with their half-siblings and has refused to co-parent with him.
Newton, the former Carolina Panthers quarterback who last played in 2021, shares Chosen (born 2015), Sovereign-Dior (2017), Camidas (2018) and Cashmere (2019) with Proctor. He has nine children in total.
Newton and Proctor’s legal fight goes back to 2020. That year Newton sued for paternity, joint custody, and visitation, and Proctor countersued for primary custody. They settled the issue in the fall of 2022. In July 2023, Newton sued her to get back a 2017 Bentley Bentayga.
