Bobby Brown to Judge: Let Me See My Kid

Posted Aug 31st 2007 2:15PM by TMZ Staff

With his head down and a mopey look on his face, Bobby Brown walked into a packed Orange County Superior Court just moments ago -- to fight Whitney Houston for partial custody of their 14-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kris.


Brown, who rocked a sharp, pinstriped suit with a stylish purple tie, is hoping to overturn a default judgment that ended his marriage to Whitney and gave her sole custody of their daughter.

When asked about what he expected to get out of today's hearing, Brown simply responded, "No comment."

Inside the courtroom, the judge set up the ultimate showdown -- when she ordered both Bobby and Whitney into court to see who's the more credible parent -- in person. But a short time later the plans may have changed, when the judge considered Houston's request to videotape her deposition and send it in instead. Whitney's lawyers argued that the former diva is in the middle of hammering out a new record deal in Atlanta ... and can't be bothered.

As Bobby made his way out of court, he told TMZ, "I can't wait for this to be over." The next court date has been set for Oct. 22.

2. He doesn't want cash, he just wants to see his kid. There is a difference in what he's fighting for. And if he see's the kid he will probably have to have a supervised visit since he doesn't have a stable living place.

5. HOW HORRIBLE, HE JUST WANTS THE KID SO HE CAN GET MONEY FOR CHILD SUPPORT FROM WHITNEY.

HE SAID SO HIMSELF HE HAS NO MONEY, AND WAS SLEEPING OUT OF HIS CAR. SO WHAT DOES HE WANT WITH THAT KID. MONEY.

10. Whiney Whitney,
Let him see his daughter.
Get over yourself. The child is missing out.
Do what is right.

11. It all boils down to which crackhead would make a better parent. I say give custody to their dealer, this way they will both have equal time with her.

13. Quite frankly she is no more fit than he is. I dont' know where she gets off painting herself like some type of woman who was forced to be with this man. This woman is a COMPLETE HOOD RAT in every sense of the word. Whatever dumbazz judge gave her custody was bought off period. She got that kid because of her money. Not that he's any better it just irks me that she is acting like she is something special. She isn't worth the dirt on the bottom of her crackpipe.

14. I don't know how you all can be so mean to Bobby, with the exception of a few. Bobby, just like two and three said she is no better than Bobby. Whitney is shot, it is over for Whitney. Remember when she was so high she couldn't even remember her own child. Whitney is still on drugs and don't think for one moment she is clean. Go Bobby Go.

15. Bobby's problems is that instead of continuing his successful career as an Entertainer (like he was before marrying Whitney) he became a "house husband" and got lazy.

Poor Bobby, quite literally.

Attention: for anyone who wants to marry up: Never soley depend on your spouse (man or woman) and disregard your own career, because this is what happens.

Now Bobby's down and out in Beverly Hills, no Orange County ! He should however, be allowed to stay in his daughter's life, to prevent "man" issues in her future.
