Kids

Morena Baccarin just won big in her custody hearing ... and now her kid will be shacking up with her in NYC.

A judge made the ruling in LA on Thursday -- Baccarin's one-year-old son she had with estranged husband Austin Chick will mainly live in NY with his mom. However, the couple will split joint custody.

Baccarin's attorney Samantha Spector tells TMZ ... Chick will still be able to visit his son once a month for 8 days, but he has to give a 15-day-notice before making a trip.

Chick will be able to bring his son back to LA every two months for an 8 day visit. We're told Baccarin will have to foot the travel expenses, but only has to pay for coach seats, no first class.

Shareef O'Neal's biology DOES bother him ... 'cause his dad Shaq totally crashed his moment in the spotlight, but it was all in the name of fatherly love.

We were at The Grove in L.A. when we ran into Shareef (hard to miss the kid at 6'8) and asked him some questions about the life of a 16-year-old sports phenom.

That's when Shareef's mom Shaunie alerted our camera guy that a certain 7'2, 300 and whatever pound guy wanted to make sure all of our questions were up to snuff.

Rich Homie Quan just guaranteed he will NOT be getting a father of the year award, but he might be getting a visit from child protective services -- after lighting up with his 1-year-old on his lap.

Quan wasn't even trying to hide it -- he was smoking what looks like a joint while chilling with little Royal Lamar ... ON SNAPCHAT!

The rapper says something to the camera -- after blowing out a huge puff of smoke -- but it's hard to make out. We suspect he might be kinda high.

It's possible he's not smoking marijuana, and it's really a hand-rolled cigarette. But it's not like that would be any better for the toddler.

Kanye West spent an afternoon with daughter North -- who was rocking a natural 'do -- and apparently does not share her father's affinity for footwear.

Baby Boosts would make a killing ... just saying.

C'mon, this is just adorable ...

Check out Adrian Peterson and his son Adrian Peterson Jr. slappin' high-fives with Minnesota Vikings fans outside TCF Bank Stadium on Sunday ... right after AP dominated the Detroit Lions.

The pics are cute -- AP2 had a custom #28 jersey with the name "Daddy" across the back ... and a huge smile across his face.

Can't we all just get along ... was exactly what this little 6-year-old was thinking after her mom got a divorce.

Little Tiana just wants what's best for her mom and dad ... giving her mom some touching life lessons during her passionate speech on the stairs.

She sums it all up perfectly -- "I’m not trying to be mean, I just want everyone to be friends."

Chris Brown is winning in the dad department ... believe it or not.

Chris brought his 1-year-old daughter Royalty onto the hardwood at the Power 106 All-Star Celebrity Basketball Game over the weekend in L.A.

Right now, Chris and baby mama, Nia Guzman, switch custody every 4 days -- and daddy Brown frequently brings her to work ... for adorable photo ops.

Y'know how proud parents are always showing you pics of their "cute" kids? Even when they're not really "cute?" Well, luckily Royalty actually is, since this is becoming a thing.

Check out their daddy-daughter dance.

Wladimir Klitschko and Hayden Panettiere's baby girl will grow up with NO FEAR of the ocean -- not as long as her giant of father keeps toting her around like this.

Wlad took 9-month-old Kaya out for a dip in Miami over the weekend. She still looks like a tiny doll in his hands, but to be fair ... everything looks miniature next to a 6' 6" 246 pound man.

Kris Jenner just took a big step in her relationship with Corey Gamble, who played faux dad for a day with Kourtney Kardashian's kids.

Matthew McConaughey's older brother Rooster just scored a year's supply of Miller Lite for naming his son after the brew ... but it may not last very long.

Rooster is what you'd call a Miller Lite superfan. He's always got a can in his hand, even on his new reality series "West Texas Investors Club." So, it's not outlandish he named his son Miller Lyte.

The folks at Miller Lite caught wind of Rooster's brand loyalty and they're sending him 24 cases ... what they consider a year supply. Here's the thing ... each case of Miller Lite has 24 cans and if you do the math, that's 576 beers ... or 1.5 beers a day.

Something tells us it's more like a seasonal supply for Rooster.

This tyke is well on its way to being a prestigious actor ... 'cause whenever dad gets close with the nail clippers, this little fibber lets out a big yell before cracking up.

Pops can't even finish grooming his future Oscar winner because of how much his baby is making him laugh.

8-year-old boxing prodigy, Evnika Saadvakass, doesn't need a speed bag to show off her quick hands ... cause a hunk of wood works just fine for her.

Right now she looks more like Laila Ali but if she works on her ground moves she could definitely end up being the next Ronda Rousey of the UFC ... heck she's been training since she was the age of 3 after all.

Chris Brown may have a leg up in his custody battle with his baby mama Nia Guzman ... her boyfriend was just arrested for forging checks.

Law enforcement tells TMZ King Ba was arrested for felony forgery, after he allegedly faked more than $5,000 in U.S. Treasury checks. We're told he was released on a $5,000 bond.

Ba told authorities he turned himself in after seeing his mug on Crime Stoppers.

As we reported, Nia has filed legal docs claiming Chris is not a suitable parent because he hangs with a bad element, but the sword may have been turned on her. For her part, sources close to Nia say she broke up with Ba.

Now all Chris has to do is worry about those drug tests.

Before NY Jets star Antonio Cromartie strapped up his pads to help defeat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, he had his head ... and feet in another battle. A dance showdown with his daughter, Jurzie Blu.

Music: "Hit The Quan" by iHeart Memphis

Location: The Cromartie's New Jersey home

Outcome: Judge for yourself

It doesn't get any cuter than this. (Hint: #SheWon)

Chris Brown won a big victory in custody court Friday, but it could get derailed because of an on-the-spot drug test.

TMZ broke the story, Chris got temporary joint custody of Royalty, where he and baby mama Nia Guzman rotate every 4 days.

Sources close to Nia tell TMZ, something else happened in court. Her lawyer asked the judge to force Chris to submit hair and urine samples for drug tests, and the judge ordered Chris to ante up on the spot.

The judge didn't say what he would do if the tests came back positive for drugs ... it would obviously depend in part what type of drugs, if any, were present in his system.

Our Nia sources also say Chris' custody win had strings attached ... his mom must be present when he has physical custody of his 1-year-old.

Chris Brown just scored an enormous victory in his child custody war with his baby mama ... he got joint custody of Royalty, and he gets to take her home today ... TMZ has learned.

Brown and Nia Guzman squared off in a Houston court Friday morning. She not only wanted to deny Chris any custodial rights, she also only wanted to give him supervised visitation.

The judge disagreed and we've learned Chris and Nia will share 50/50 physical custody, with Royalty going back and fourth every 4 days. Both Chris and Nia now live in L.A.

And Chris, who was in court represented by Mark Geragos, scored another victory. The judge ordered him to pay Nia $2,500 a month in child support, which is exactly what he's been paying her. She wanted $15k.

The judge also ordered Nia not to talk crap on Chris and not reveal anything about the case on social media.

2:00 PM PT -- Nia's legal team has a positive outlook on the hearing. We're told they see it as merely a temporary victory for Chris, since there will be a mediation in weeks to come -- and child support payments will be addressed.

Also, Chris agreed that his mother would always be present when he has custody of Royalty.
