Celebrity Justice
Bobby Brown to Judge: Let Me See My Kid

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.

16. 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.

17. He just wants to see his kid. Why must all you tmz people be rude? Perhaps you have problems. He was always spending time with his kids, Whitney was the one always mad asking "why do we always have to do Family things?".He spent a lot more time with her then Whitney did. I wish they would both see that the child is the most important thing and work this out as far as she is concerned.

18. 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.

20. That sludge bucket doesn't deserve to see Whitney's toe-nail much less his daugher whom he would abuse and use too..

21. He probably loves his daughter, but I feel he wants some money, since his financial woes are well known. I don't feel Bobby or Whitney are fit parents. He still looks high, the way cokeheads talk out of the side of their mouths. And I'm not entirely sure she has given it up, either.

22.

BOBBY AND WHITNEY ARE UNFIT PARENTS ..........

THIS DAUGHTER SHOULD BE WITH GOOD PARENTS

WHO'S GOING TO LOVE HER .......

BOBBY AND WHITNEY ARE DRUGGIES , ALCOHOLIC

THIS DAUGHTER DOESN'T DESERVE IT .

JUDGE BETTER START THINKING OF GOOD PARENTS TO

RAISE THE DAUGHTER ............

Posted at 3:05PM on Aug 31st 2007 by MY HEART GOES OUT FOR THE DAUGHTER , HELL WITH THE PARENTS ...THEY SHOULDN'T GET HER ....

23. oh please, their daughter is old enough to decide if she wants to see him or not. So if she doesn't want to she'll have her reasons. All he wants is Whitneys money because he's too lazy to work. Loser.

24.
Another K Fed legal maneuver to get more money out of his Ex!
Child support is what these guys are after to live on!
At 14 years old the child can make up her own mind to visit her father , I have a feeling she chooses not too. Where would she sleep, in the back seat? Untill her father saved enough child support to get a motel?
Get a Job dead beat.

25. I dont know why she is feeling special right now, she slep with this man for yrs and arent nothing new there. Just let him see his daughter as often as possible.

Remember, something in common. what happened to that moment?

26. He messed up Whitney's life and now he wants to do the same to a young lady who is now just getting to know her Mother again......

I say sure let him see his child but only after he goes to REHAB and take care of his issues

27. Yah, why not just throw the kids in the crack wagon... Sounds like a great idea. Bobby has screwed up Whitney, her career, and the kids I think that his actions alone show cause for supervised visitation if that. Preferably in a place that has walls

28. Superstar Steve....dear, the INCIDENT was in Minnesota....the senator was from Idaho. Please point fingers at the correct politicians. We can't help it that he decided to try and get some at our airport.
